EAGLE-EYED England fans were left baffled by Harry Kane’s kit in yesterday’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Germany.
Skipper Kane scored from the spot to put the Three Lions 3-2 up, only for Chelsea ace Kai Havertz to equalise just minutes later.
But it was Kane’s kit, rather than his emphatic penalty, that caught the eye of fans.
The England captain sported his trademark No9 on the back of his shirt, as well as on his shorts.
Yet the front of his away shirt, mysteriously worn at home, appeared to have an upside down No6 printed on it.
His front shirt number looked suspiciously similar to an upside down version of Harry Maguire’s digit.

And fans were quick to chime in as they watched the drama unfold in England’s last game before the World Cup.
One wrote: “Harry Pain.”
While another joked: “[It’s] because he’s a false nine.”
Maguire wore two regular No6’s on the front of his shirt and shorts, suggesting Kane’s upside down No6 could have been a printing error.

Kane’s bizarre kit wasn’t the only shirt related drama last night.
Gareth Southgate’s side sported funky fonts on the back of their shirts, with their names all in capitals, except from the letter “i”.
And it didn’t go down particularly well with fans online.
One wrote: “I’m quite angry about the font on the England shirts.”
Another said: “It’s just been brought to my attention that the font on the back of England’s shirts uses all capital letters, except for a lower case ‘i’, and now I can’t see ANYTHING ELSE.”
While a third quipped: “Petition to get rid of that awful font on the England kit and replace it with Comic Sans.”

While Kane’s kit could have been an error, the eye-catching fonts were in fact purposely designed in that way.
An England statement when the new kits were released said: “Just like the home kit, the typeface used on the name and number takes inspiration from angular, industrial fonts used by English heavy metal rock bands.”
