Female athletes are celebrating the new Lionesses kit - which has been changed from blue to white over period concerns
When Helen Hardy was at school, the thought of going out onto the football pitch whilst on her period was terrifying. Instead of focusing on the game, she'd worry about what could go wrong.
During that tournament, England winger Beth Mead and midfielder Georgia Stanway spoke out about the issue of playing in the colour while on their periods. Helen Hardy, who is the founder of Manchester Laces, a team inclusive to women, non-binary and transgender people, believes the conversations now happening an elite level, will filter down to amateur and grassroots football.
It comes after Manchester City's women changed from wearing white shorts to burgundy earlier in the season, to help players feel more comfortable while on their periods. "The Lionesses have put the talking point out there for people to discuss and they are high profile successful role models who I’m sure young girls look up to. To normalise these conversations, it’s just something that will hopefully break that stigma. There’s nothing dirty or sinister about being on your period.
