New England kit unveiled by Jack Wilshere on Twitter

Jack Wilshere has revealed the new England kit with the help of a student at his old school in Hertfordshire.

The Arsenal midfielder took to Twitter to show the world the anticipated Three Lions strip - the first manufactured by Nike - having been impressed by one particular lad's skills at The Priory in Hitchin.

Wilshere tweeted just before lunchtime on Monday: 'Like this kid, my England dream began here, so he was first in #theshirt – England’s new kit from @NikeFootball'.

New era: England stars helped reveal Nike's first Three Lions strip

Fan reaction was mixed at the unveiling with many stating on Twitter that the kit looked too German with its very dark collar, but there was also praise for the simple design.

The kit will make its first appearance against the Republic of Ireland on May 29, and then again in Brazil later that week.

The picture shows a pure white strip, with what appears to be a dark blue classic crew neck collar.

Similar style: Criticism for the strip centres around the design looking like previous Germany shirts

'This is where my dream of playing for England started and it's great to be back here to see a new generation playing with the same passion,' said Wilshire.

'I gave Jason the shirt because his commitment and work-rate really impressed me today, he showed that it's what you do on the pitch that matters - from your first match as a nine year-old all the way up to the international stage.'

Why we love the new shirt...

It’s back-to-basics at all levels for England, with the team learning how to actually keep possession through simple passes, and they now have a new kit to match.

If it took more than two minutes to design I would be amazed, but the simple white shirt with a dark navy collar is a tidy numberand looks great.

Football shirts don’t need wacky unique strips or overdone trim. This isn’t the eccentric 1990s where any design or colour was no-holds-barred.As long as the team wins, no one will care what they wear.

...and reasons why we dislike it

I know that German football is vogue at the moment but ‘Come on England!’

Big tick for the rounded collar, gold 150th badge and classic white shirt.

That’s all very nice. But this is more Rudi Voller than Wayne Rooney.

Could they have made the dark blue collar any darker – it’s almost black.

Dressing us up like the Germans isn’t going to make us play like them.

‘Drei’ Lions on the shirt….

It’s just one big mistake.

The deal with sports giants Nike, which runs until 2018 includes supplying kit and match balls to all of Club England’s 24 football teams, including the men’s national teams, women’s, Futsal, disability and amateur, and sponsorship and support of St George’s Park, the home of the National Football Centre in Burton-upon-Trent.

It makes a new era for the Football Association following 60 years of a relationship with Umbro, which ended after the match against Montenegro in March.
