England have unveiled a revolutionary new away kit which they will wear at Euro 2004 this summer.

The kit will get its first outing on 31 March in the friendly international against Sweden in Gothenburg.

The fabric of the material used is 99.9% pure silver weave and was developed originally in conjunction with Nasa.

For the first time, the 1966 World Cup winners gold star has been placed above the England three lions badge.

England will be one of only two teams at the European Championships, along with Sweden, with the state-of-the-art kit.

A main benefit of the material is that it keeps a player's temperature at a stable level and keeps the cool in warm climates while helping build up heat in colder areas.
