England have launched their new kit ahead of the World Cup in Russia – but how does it stack up compared to the other major tournament wears?

The Three Lions have had some hits and misses over the years, it’s safe to say how the players have looked mirrors how they’ve performed.

We’ve all got different tastes when it comes to what we leave the house in and style has certainly made way for substance some time.

Yahoo Sport brings you the best and worst of what England have worn over the past 30 years so let’s take a nostalgia trip as the new kit is unveiled and hope it brings us some luck this summer!
