edmontonowl Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 A former designer of international football shirts (not just England but he did the blue one a few years a go) said that Nike's"St.George's cross" design was to reflect the diversity of England in 2024. Sounds woke to me 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who are triggered by the tiniest detail on, of all things, a football shirt, need to take a serious look at their lives. Beyond pathetic IMHO. Why change it unless they are pushing an agenda. It's our national flag and should never be defaced. It's yet another box ticking excersize which seems to be the norm for big companies these days, aiming to push their woke ideals. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 In the grand scheme of things it’s not a big deal. It is odd though, as it’s not the same flag when the colour is changed. I notice some St George’s at Hillsborough have the cross in blue: I get why, but they’re not really a St George anymore are they? If the Scottish saltaire was changed from white to red and yellow for instance, it would no longer be the same flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen Door Slams Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 6 hours ago, BrizzleOwl said: I was being intentially perjorative to have a dig at the culture wars, but it does have a bit of a whiff of agenda about it Listening to Nicky Campbell's phone in, there's a bloke phoned in who used to work at Nike and he was saying that when designing a shirt for a club or country, the golden rules were to not touch the crest or the flag. The FA would have been involved with and guided the process and have ultimate sign off. He suggested that the purple could have been a nod to the royal family perhaps. So possibly guidance from the FA to make it a bit pride-ey - but with different colours. He also said that the process would have taken 12-18 months - that's a lot of consultancy fees to pay so may explain the price I'm quite meh about it all, but can understand people getting a bit triggered about it. English patriotism does take a bashing, but if they'd put a rainbow coloured dragon flag on the Welsh shirt, or a multi coloured saltire on the Scottish shirt, the pushback would be celebrated This...............if the celts , or pretty much any other nation for that matter did this it would be labelled as passionate and patriotic.......if the english do it it`s flag sha***ng. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeyswfc Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I mean it looks stupid but other than that. Is it that bad? It’s not the England flag to me it’s just some flag that looks meh. Most international kits are bad these days and this one is no different. bigger issue is the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
