England will end their previous agreement with Umbro three years early by switching to Castore kits this summer.
After the Red Roses’ Six Nations title-clinch against France this Saturday, the new kits won’t be available until May.
However, the men’s and women’s shirts had different neck designs in initial images to mark the announcement.
Castore and Umbro have the option to join Umbro’s roster of supplied teams, according to a separate agreement they signed last year.
The first significant showcase for the new deal will be the Women’s Rugby World Cup this year, which England will host and be in the lead.

Castore, which was established in Liverpool in 2016, has experienced a number of scandalous events while supporting world-class teams.
Aston Villa players were unhappy with the amount of sweat absorbed by their shirts while some Leinster fans received the kit without the Irish province’s crest, and it apologized in December for their actions during their contract with Castore.
After a printing error, England’s cricket team wore mismatched Castore kits to the 2023 World Cup.
The RFU made a deal with German insurance company Allianz in August that will reportedly bring in more than £100m for the Red Roses to rebrand Twickenham over the following ten years.
