England Rugby and Castore have officially launched the new men’s and women’s Home, Training and Travel collections for the 2026/27 season, introducing a bold new visual identity inspired by the forces of nature and engineered for elite performance.
Built around the creative concept ‘Into the Elements’, the new collection combines the physicality of rugby with the power and unpredictability of the natural world. Drawing inspiration from the way wind and water shape surfaces over time, the range reflects themes of resilience, movement and evolution through innovative fabrications, engineered textures and dynamic detailing.
At the heart of the launch is the new England Rugby Home Kit — a modern interpretation of tradition that delivers a clean and refined aesthetic while incorporating advanced performance technology. Designed as ‘heritage reborn’, the jersey stays true to England Rugby’s iconic white identity while introducing an engineered 3D jacquard fabric that creates depth, texture and movement throughout the garment.
The jacquard pattern transitions from smooth to textured surfaces, inspired by the impact of natural forces over time, creating a contemporary visual language that remains rooted in England Rugby heritage. Lightweight construction, breathable knit zones and moisture management technology ensure the jersey performs at the highest level, supporting player comfort during elite competition.
Alongside the Home Kit, Castore and England Rugby also unveiled new Training and Travel collections for both the men’s and women’s teams. Designed to support performance on and off the pitch, the wider range incorporates a rich palette of navy, purple, deep reds and earthy tones to create a cohesive identity across the full collection.
The 2026/27 range introduces enhanced technical innovation throughout the playing kit. A new moisture management finish improves the speed at which fabric draws sweat away from the skin, while upgraded abrasion testing standards have doubled from 10,000 to 20,000 revolutions to ensure greater durability and performance under the demands of international rugby.
The jersey is set to make its debut in July during the upcoming Nations Championship. England will face South Africa and Argentina away from home, while also taking on Fiji at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium. The kit will also be worn during the 2027 Six Nations, the final tournament before the Rugby World Cup later that year.
Fans can purchase the new England Rugby Home, Training and Travel collections now across England Rugby and Castore retail channels. The replica jersey is also available through major rugby merchandise retailers, giving supporters the chance to wear the same kit as their heroes in what promises to be a landmark season for English rugby.
