England to play in blue shorts at Women’s World Cup

England will play in a new home kit featuring blue shorts at this summer’s Women’s World Cup after player concern over wearing white while on periods.

The Lionesses have been playing in an all-white home strip, including at the European Championship that they hosted and won last summer.

During that tournament, England winger Beth Mead and midfielder Georgia Stanway spoke out about the issue, with the former saying: “It’s very nice to have an all-white kit, but sometimes it’s not practical when it’s the time of the month.
