New England kit for Euro '24

[domalino]

I think the colour of football crest is a bit of a different story to a flag that has represented a full nation for centuries on a shirt where they're representing that nation.

I think some things should be left alone

It's not an England flag. It's a cross.

If they'd actually made a flag with a white background and put a different cross on it, then you could atually claim they're changing the flag.

But then again, I have no idea why this thread ever made it past @Ric's post that showed conclusively thsat this has been done before and no one gave a shit. So what's changed is not kit designers...it's almost like on of the main political parties openly said the only chance they have of winning an election is to create a culture war and have poured every resource they have into creating one.

No one was arsed in 2010 when England had this kit. Just more tedious, culture war bollocks.

The same people objecting to this trivial shit have no problems with national low-visibility insignia on the military equipment.

Over on tS scafolders an plumbers are discussing merits and objects of stylization. And now that stiff Arsenal supporting prick decided to get involved.

Just don't tell them what mighty RAF has been doing with our national pride.

Apparently its the flag of bisexuality. I'd never heard of that until today but when you look it it, it does seem that it's taken from that.

Yes, despite the fact Nike have already explained why they've chosen those colours, let's just keep pretending they've put the bisexual flag in the collar of a football shirt. Jesus Christ.

Denis Law likes it.

What you trying to say?

I am pretty confidant Nike wouldn't change the colours of the USA flag..
More importantly is no price reduction for kids tops. I thought we don't pay Vat on kids clothing ??

OK well if we're being pedantic/pathetic, it's a cross. What's the flag of England symbolising and the main feature?


Said cross is supposed to be red, not lifted from a bisexual flag as it seems to be. Its the shirt for people representing a nation in an international competition, not a sexuality or anything else, so it should have the correct one.

It's amazing how this country can get whipped up and riled about a clearly confected issue. It's just a design decision to use the colour palette that includes the away kit. The fact that people are so scared of it being 'woke' without not really understanding what 'woke' means just shows how manipulated some are by the schlock media

You have to be a special kind of fucking stupid to actually think it's been "lifted from a bisexual flag"

The colours are.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to look at both and think it's not. It clearly is. It's not like this is a one off. LGBT stuff has been pushed into football a lot. So why wouldn't the shirt be part of it?

Clearly you're trying to be righteous but you're also blind.
