England Rugby have launched their new Castore away kit ahead of the summer test series against Argentina.
Steve Borthwick’s side take on the Pumas on Saturday in the first of a two-test series.
Fly-half George Ford will win his 100th cap, 11 years after making his debut.
There are first caps for Bath winger Will Muir and Gloucester centre Seb Atkinson.
And on the bench, uncapped back row Guy Pepper will hope to join Bath teammate Muir in making his test debut.
Ford will share captaincy duties with veteran hooker Jamie George.
The pair are standing in for regular skipper Maro Itoje, who was named British and Irish Lions captain for the summer tour to Australia.
Thirteen first-choice players are away with the Lions, meaning England are blooding some new faces.
But as well as some new caps, England will also be sporting a new kit.
England Rugby Away Kit 2025-26 Released
In April, British manufacturer Castore was confirmed as England rugby kit supplier.
Following the release of the home kit, the away strip has also been revealed.

Set to be worn on Saturday against the Pumas, this new-look design features the classic Red Rose crest and long-time sponsor O2.
But in contract to the all-white home kit, the reverse strip is a striking blue.
Predominantly black, it features flashes of electric blue and an intricate pattern.
The away kit is modelled by England trio Ollie Lawrence, Tommy Freeman and Cadan Murley.
England are the first national side to link up with Castore, who recently signed a Leicester Tigers kit deal.

The away jersey may be different from the norm, but Castore has stuck to tradition for the home shirt.
An all-white design has subtle geometric patterning, like the away kit.

But some fans will note a resemblance to the 2003 World Cup shirt.
Like that design, there are red accents under the arms and around the collar.
Inspired by the kit worn as Jonny Wilkinson slotted a last-minute drop goal to win England’s only World Cup to date, fans will hope the new England rugby home kit can lead to similar success.
