England Kit Star: The England 2024 kits feature a subtly applied star above the crest, representing their 1966 World Cup win, which is hard to see because it matches the shirt's main color.
Other National Teams: Unlike England, Nike's kits for Brazil and France include a prominently colored star, matching the shirt's colours to make it stand out.
Nike Question: The text questions whether Nike should make the star more prominent on future England kits, given its current lack of visibility.

We've recently all had a closer look at the England Euro 2024 kits, which once again feature the star above the crest applied very subtly, very much unlike what other national teams do. But should Nike start making the star stand out more?

The Star on the England 2024 Kits

Compare our mock-up (right) with the official look of the England 2024 home kit below.

We have created a mock-up with the star applied in navy to match the other accents on the kit.

The star above the crest on the England 2024 home shirt denotes the 1966 World Cup title, with its color once again closely matching the main color of the shirt, which is white in the case of the home. This means the star does not stand out at all and becomes almost invisible when viewed from a distance.

England's kits in recent years have featured a star whose colors match the colors of the shirt.

We also brought to life the Nike England Euro 2024 home and away kits worn by Jude Bellingham and Alexander Arnold, and as you can see, the star is hard to see.
