Harry Kane will be wearing a different kit from the rest of his England teammates for the entirety of the Three Lions’ World Cup campaign.The Bayern Munich striker will captain the country for their tournament opener against Croatia on Wednesday – live on talkSPORT.Kane’s England kit will stand out from the restGettyHowever, it’s not just the armband that will separate the 32-year-old from the rest of the England team at Dallas Stadium in Texas.The former Tottenham star will instead be afforded a special privilege to adorn his World Cup kit with a unique feature.Why is Harry Kane wearing a different England kit?FIFA have afforded Kane the privilege of wearing a special Golden Boot patch on his England shirt during the 2026 World Cup.The Three Lions skipper is one of just three players in the 48-team tournament who are permitted to add the distinct kit alteration.It is a reward for Kane becoming only the second Englishman ever to finish as the top scorer in a World Cup after Gary Lineker in 2018.His six goals, which included a hat-trick against Panama, were enough to beat out the France duo of Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe.The latter claimed the Golden Boot four years later in Qatar, which means he will also be wearing a top scorer patch this World Cup.The third player, alongside Kane and Mbappe, to boast the feat is Colombia’s James Rodríguez, following his heroics in 2014.The trio will possess the permanent visual distinction of their World Cup Golden Boots for every matchday attire in this tournament.Mbappe is one of the only other players with a designated Golden Boot badge on his shirt sleeveGettyWorld Cup Golden Boot patchesFIFA have already commentarated players at this summer’s tournament making their World Cup debut with a special emblem.The Golden Boot patches will be removed from the match-worn shirts after every game rather than being permanently stitched on.They will then become physical memorabilia for fans to collect inside exclusive Topps trading cards.It is the direct result of a new, expanded collaboration between Topps’ parent company, Fanatics, and FIFA chief Gianni Infantino.The 60-year partnership enjoyed with Panini will officially come to an end in 2031, but the patch initiative has already been put in place.England 30/1 To Beat CroatiaSign up to talkSPORT BET and get 30/1 for England to beat CroatiaCLAIM HERETerms: 18+ New Customers Only.
