New England shirt 2024 & St George’s scandal

Callumcafc

IMO this is one of the best England shirts in years.

But there’s a few upset snowflakes over the artistic license used for incorporating blues and purples in the St George’s cross on the collar… personally I think it’s more scandalous that it’ll cost £85 minimum for an adult size.

It's a dumb thing to mess with tbh, there's enough other details etc on the rest of the kits to not have to decide to fuck with the flag.

You may call them snowflakes, but imagine the uproar in very patriotic countries like the US and France, if they added a flag with different colours onto the jersey

I don't understand why the England shirt is Blue and White. 
The flag of St. George is Red and White. 
Scotland have Blue in their national shirt. 
Wales have Red in their national shirt 
Ireland have Green in their national shirt. 
Why do we have Blue in ours?

Definitely one of my favourite England tops in a long time. Personally, not particularly fussed about the flag. Not sure why people get so wound up about such little things

The French riot over the government, we get pissy over different colours on the flag. I think we have very different priorities.

It's the colours of the England logo. Blue, white and red. Been our logo since the 1800s

Terrible idea imo

Well it should just be Red and White.

Wasn’t a problem when it was done before, just culture wars rubbish. Much more important things to get animated by

Apparently there were a few options which were turned down in favour of this.

Cannot think of anything more English than showing a small flag with altered colours!

Would not be acceptable in most countries. But this is England.

Different badge colours are a bit less of an issue to the colours of the actual flag being messed with. It looks crap anyway with the purples and blues

Did you have a problem with this kit too?

Shirt's nice.

Couldn't care less about the flag issue.  Don't remember anyone whinging about the red missing from the Union Jack in 2012:



People need to stop worrying about minor changes to things that are apparently 'ruining this once great nation', like a small logo on a football top you can choose not to buy, and think about the things (and people) who are really screwing the country.

Completely different situation. We aren't permanently changing the flag of the country. I agree I think it's a bit silly but doesn't bother me even slightly enough to get irate about it. Changing red red robin is erasing decades of the clubs traditions permanently.

Have the manufacturers said it’s the flag, or is it just an unnecessary decorative feature that people are assuming is the flag? I don’t see how it can be the flag if it’s not red and white.

Bilko

It’s because of the wonkie  world we live in now, that people are looking at any small detail to commmet.

AllHailTheHen

It's no longer really representative of the George Cross other than the shape. As people say there are much bigger things to worry about in the world but it's just a weird and unnecessary thing to mess around with. 

ME14addick

If it's not in the correct colour then it isn't the Cross of St George, can't pretend otherwise.The cost of the shirt is outrageous.

A massive shock as Germany will switch to Nike in 2027, after wearing Adidas for 70 years

Starmer and Thornberry are proper snowflakes.

Chizz

Rishi Snowflake and Lucy Frazer are proper snowflakes 

palarsehater

anyone who doesn't agree with me is a snowflake, and anyone who doesn't agree with me is a racist. 

shouldn't mess with flags IMO I wont be purchasing. 

since covid was around we have an almight of cocks in this country on both sides of the left/right wing thoughts. 

the country is changing and not for the better in front of our eyes, am i upset over a flag not really but the total disrespect for something that people value is a sign of the times, didnt some nutters rage war because of someone making fun of a cartoon? 

O-Randy-Hunt

Hi Chizz.

Can you please keep politics off of this page please.

Cheers.
