England’s kit will get a long-awaited makeover should the Three Lions end 58 years of hurt by beating Spain tonight.
Gareth Southgate’s side are one victory away from making history by winning Euro 2024 – the country’s first triumph on foreign soil.
England are bidding to win their first major men’s trophy since the World Cup in 1966 and their first-ever European Championship.
The Three Lions have boasted just one solitary star above their badge in the nearly six decades since Bobby Moore lifted silverware.
Do England get a star on their shirt for winning Euro 2024?
No, a golden star is only added to a country’s shirt each time they are crowned world champions.
However, victory over Spain will still mean England’s iconic strip will take on a different look.
The winner of the European Championship is permitted to add a special badge to their jersey to commemorate their success.
Both Italy and Portugal were afforded such an honour for their Euro final wins over England in 2021, and France in 2016, respectively.
The emblem is a white crest adorned with a picture of the trophy alongside the words ‘UEFA European Champions’.
Victorious teams are allowed to stitch the badge onto their kits during qualifiers until the start of the next major tournament.
Italy boasted the crest over an 18-month spell following their win over England until their 2-0 defeat by Austria in November 2022.
Portugal, meanwhile, sported the logo until the start of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
If England becomes the next team to earn that privilege, their kits can be altered until the next World Cup, which starts on June 11, 2026.
