Part of the very first Castore England playing range, the 2025/26 alternate shirt combines dramatic aesthetics with high-performance materials to help you look and feel your best. The black base is enhanced with striking blue contrast accents at the collar and sleeves and an eye-catching all-over tonal graphic to create a striking look, and a Cross of Saint George at the back neck combines with that legendary red rose over the heart to proudly display your national pride for the world to see. The smooth, ultra-lightweight weave delivers all-game comfort throughout the 80 minutes, whether you're competing on-pitch, watching at home or cheering England on from the stands at Twickenham. Breathable perforations promote airflow, and the moisture-wicking finish draws sweat away from your skin to keep things cool and breezy no matter how hard you push. Raglan sleeves offer full freedom of movement in the arms and shoulders, so you can pass without restriction, and twin-needle stitching reinforces the hem to provide outstanding durability through the rough and tumble play that makes rugby the sport it is.
