West Bromwich Albion Women change their white home shorts to accommodate for their players' menstrual cycles... just months after Lionesses hero Beth Mead revealed she had highlighted the same issue with sportswear giant Nike

West Bromwich Albion Women have changed the colour of their playing shorts for the remainder of the 2022/23 season and beyond.

The decision to change the team's white home shorts to navy was made following consultations with the team regarding the impracticality of wearing white whilst players are on their period.

A statement posted to the club's website acknowledged that 'wearing white clothing while on a period is an issue that has been highlighted by women across all sports' and announced that the issue will be 'fully considered' in all future kit designs.

West Brom Women's captain, Hannah George, expressed her support for the decision.
