England 2018

The Legacy

The 2018 England home kit, manufactured by Nike, represents a pivotal cultural shift for the Three Lions. Worn during the unforgettable 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, this crisp, white jersey with subtle red accents captured the imagination of a nation. It became the symbol of Gareth Southgate’s 'waistcoat revolution,' as England defied expectations to reach their first World Cup semi-final since 1990. The design, featuring a clean aesthetic and the iconic St. George’s Cross on the back of the neck, is forever linked to the dramatic penalty shootout victory against Colombia—England’s first ever at a World Cup—and the jubilant scenes of 'Football’s Coming Home.' Whether it was Harry Kane’s Golden Boot heroics or Harry Maguire’s towering headers, this shirt witnessed a resurgence in English football pride. Owning this jersey is more than just a fashion statement; it is a tangible piece of a summer that brought a country together, making it an essential addition for any serious collector of modern international football history.
