England kickstart their Euro 2024 campaign with a difficult game against Serbia on Sunday, June 16, and the Three Lions are billed as the away side.

Highlighted as the pre-tournament favourite to lift the Euro 2024 trophy, England will need to start strongly in the opening match if they're to go one better than their 2021 run to the final. Serbia themselves offer a real threat, too, with Al-Hilal duo Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic and captain Dusan Tadic all possessing the ability to cause a few problems. 

While four of the six third-placed teams will go into the knockout stages, meaning it isn't absolutely vital for Gareth Southgate's side to win, it's imperative the performance is strong to provide greater confidence for the remainder of their time in Germany

So what colour kit will England wear against Serbia? FourFourTwo delve into the detail below.

Despite being drawn as the away side in their opening game, there's no danger of England wearing anything other than the classic white home kit at Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen. Gareth Southgate's side will wear white shirts, shorts and socks for their Euro 2024 opener.

That's because home side Serbia will be playing in their traditional red strip, which has had a makeover ahead of the tournament to create something a little more ominious and intimidating for Mitrovic and Co.

The launch of England's home and away kit was met with a mixed reaction by fans, with some admiring the stylish ensemble, while others took exception to the 'playful update' on the St Geroge's cross on the collar of the home kit.

The FA declared it a reimagination of "iconic kits from the past with a modern twist, making a bold statement with an eye-catching purple - a modern mix of classic blue and red England change kits of the past."
