Nike and London-based designer Martine Rose have joined creative forces to launch a special-edition ‘Lost Lionesses’ England jersey inspired by the story of the unofficial England women’s team who played in the 1971 World Cup.
Riding the crest of hype surrounding the England setup, designer Martine Rose has taken an alternative approach to support for the Three Lions and the Lionesses, with a shirt specifically inspired by the story of the Lost Lionesses, the unofficial England women’s team who played in the 1971 World Cup and were treated like heroes at the tournament in Mexico.
The genderless jersey features a reversible construction with an oversized fit, the inside design comes with a special-edition badge and the number 71 in the centre, while the outside features the official England crest alongside a subtle tribute to the Lost Lionesses and an “all the best” message from Martine Rose. Alongside the jersey, Nike and Martine Rose have also prepared a special-edition cap, featuring an all-white construction, distressed edges and a blank badge.
The Martine Rose x Nike football jersey is available for pre-order now until July 10 via the Martine Rose web store.
