Where to buy the 2003 World Cup-inspired 2025 England kit including a £45 option
The new Engand rugby kit
Castore has revealed the new England rugby kit for 2025 after taking over from Umbro and there is a big hike in prices for the year.
Short-sleeved shirts are priced at £85, up from £80 last year, while the ‘stadium’ kit as worn by the players costs an eye-watering £110.

The shirt itself has a geometric pattern design that Castore says reflects a ‘shattering glass ceiling’ and it comes with a collar design capable of withstanding 1,200 Newtons of force. The red stripes on the side are a nod to England’s 2003 World Cup winning kit, while velvet on the back is designed to help players dry their hands.
Fans can also buy a polo neck style ‘historical’ kit with a similar design priced at £75 for the short sleeve version and £85 for the long sleeve version.
However fans who want to wear the red rose but do not want to shell out on full price kits can buy one of the ‘jester red’ pre-match shirts priced at just £65 and featuring a more standard rounded collar and abstract sleeve print.
A ‘storm blue’ performance shirt is also on sale with a simple design and completely white rose badge design to contrast the darker shirt colour. It is priced at £45 and is the cheapest shirt in the new collection.
Robin Dunn, Castore’s Director of Product for Professional Sports, said: “Every detail of the new England Rugby kits has been engineered with elite performance and heritage in mind.
“The design of the kit draws inspiration from themes of strength and resilience, a tribute to the power and unity of the players both on and off the field.
“At Castore, we are committed to obsessing over every edge, ensuring that every stitch, fabric, and feature contributes to excellence”.
