England captain Dylan Hartley has helped unveil the new England rugby home kit from Canterbury for the 2016/17 season.
As part of the launch, England players Maro Itoje, Mike Brown and George Kruis were also on hand to unveil the new shirt on Monday.
The home kit features a range of innovations that have been developed by Canterbury to improve the look and feel for both players and fans alike.
Eddie Jones says England's new home kit will support the team's quest for 'world class' performances
The shirt continues to feature reduced fabrication weight to minimise moisture absorption, a 3D injection moulded crest and a super-enhanced fit technology, developed from player position-specific 3D body-mapping.
Speaking about the new shirt, England head coach Eddie Jones said: "We're always striving to improve every area of our preparation and performance so it's great to work with an innovative brand like Canterbury who share our philosophy.

"The new strip looks good, but most importantly supports our needs as a team to help our performances to be world class."
Also, for the first time, a new custom-fit women's home kit - which will be worn for the Women's Rugby World Cup campaign next summer in Ireland - was launched by England Women players Rochelle Clark, Lydia Thompson and Vicky Fleetwood.
