Nike backflips in long-running row with England World Cup star
Mary Earps has won her goalkeeper kit row with Nike after the manufacturer was forced into a U-turn.
“Nike is committed to women’s football and we’re excited by the passion around this year’s tournament and the incredible win by the Lionesses to make it into the final. “We hear and understand the desire for a retail version of a goalkeeper jersey and we are working towards solutions for future tournaments, in partnership with FIFA and the federations.
“For my own family, friends and loved ones not to be able to buy my shirt, they’re just going to come out and wear normal clothes,” Earps said.
