Tonight, England will unveil the controversial new home strip that will adorn the team at Euro 2016.

The kit has been widely criticised, with the away version drawing the ire of former Three Lions striker Gary Lineker who tweeted during England's win over Germany: "Can’t think of a worse England strip".

The designs by Nike were first shown to the public earlier this month but the home version will be worn for the first time tonight when England take on the Netherlands at Wembley.

James Milner is due to captain the side that will wear the white top, white shorts and red socks, with the shirt distinguished by light blue sleeves.

Nike’s creative director Martin Lotti recently defended the strip in which this summer England will look to win a first major trophy since 1966.

"England have had great moments in red over the years – one in particular – and our design team have risen to the challenge of integrating references to England’s footballing history with a futuristic system of performance apparel in both the home and away kits," said Lotti.

So where does it rank among England's worst tournament kits since 1990? Check out every home strip worn at major tournaments since 1990 and vote in our poll on which one you think is the worst.
