England played in blue in Wednesday night’s international friendly with Germany.
Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions lined up in their new Nike away strip for the first time and it got fans talking.
Will Lowley loved it.
This blue England kit is just ?

However, James Catton thought it was unimaginative.
Nike taking the absolute piss with this ‘new’ England away strip. It’s the same template/shirt as the red version but is now blue.

Most of the haters were people taking issue with the fact there is no blue in the England flag, neglecting to consider that there’s loads in the Union Jack, albeit nasty Scottishy blue.
Why the hell are England wearing blue tonight…There’s no blue in the ENGLAND flag or don’t the FA realise that! @FA @England @itvfootball

Here’s a quick question about the England kit – why are we in blue? Where is that in the flag? #DidIMissSomething #englandvsgermany pic.twitter.com/q29oyDGZzf

While everyone else seemed to be getting angry, Alison was just confused.
Just flicked over to the football. Was quite impressed until I realised that England were playing in blue…
