PICS: Here’s what happened when we asked the internet to design an alternative England shirt

So, after weeks of speculation and inaccurate ‘leaks’, the world finally got a glimpse of the kits England will be wearing at Euro 2016.

As images of the new kits circulated online, it soon became clear that people weren’t quite sure what to make of the new designs.

Having noticed this, we challenged JOE readers the world over (but mainly in England) to come up with an alternative for the new England shirt.

As is very often the case when we set you such tasks, you didn’t disappoint.

Here are some of the best responses we had:

It became clear immediately that some of you had invested a great deal of time in putting together your designs….

Others used their designs to reflect their negative predictions for England’s Euro 2016 campaign.

There was a strong Roy Hodgson theme running through many of the replies we received…

@Hairyson69 drew his inspiration from everyone’s favourite breakfast cereal mascot, Tony the Tiger…

And finally, Steve Christie opted to go with a Mars bar theme.
