Correct.They’ve changed the colours of it on the back of the new away kit.

I'd be more annoyed at the price of the top than any sort of cross on itAnyone, English or otherwise, that is remotely concerned about this is the biggest faux-outraged, pearl clutching wet wipe imaginable.
There are hundreds of examples of flags on jerseys using inverted, tonal and completely random colours that no one has ever given a single shit about before.
Why now?
%^*& with the solitaire on a Scotland top and let's see the reaction.
Google ' Nike woke washing',you will get the information .Am I missing the bit where Nike are trying to educate people? What exactly are they trying to teach people?
The only thing I've seen from a press release was the kit was to "celebrate football heroes of the past with a modern twist and unite and inspire". Fairly usual corporate waffle about a design brief. I'm not really getting a connection a neo liberal agenda.
You're on your own with that one.%^*& with the solitaire on a Scotland top and let's see the reaction.
I think starmer did say something about it , after he'd spoken about the flag being wrongYes, it’s taken the attention away from the prices.
Maybe the politicians should be wading into this asking - especially in the current economic climate - why people are being fleeced to wear their national jersey.
Clearly not the same thing.Like this?
Clearly not the same thing.
What's not the same about it? A flag with the colours changed to a random colour that has no relation to the original flag?Clearly not the same thing.
How so? Its exactly the same thing but one is f**king massive and takes up the whole front of the kit.
You're really not getting this, are you ?How so? Its exactly the same thing but one is f**king massive and takes up the whole front of the kit.
You cant genuinely be annoyed about this mate? Like, actually bothered?You're really not getting this, are you ?
Deary me.
You might have to explain it to me if you know something I don't mate.You're really not getting this, are you ?
Its been done with the rugby top on occasion too. Nobody cares.You might have to explain it to me if you know something I don't mate.
Everyone is wetting their knickers about a flag's colours being changed on a football kit, I've provided an example of a flag's colours being changed on a football kit that no one cared about at all.
So when there is actual cross-party political agreement on this nonsense - which is extremely rare - does that not make you wonder ???You might have to explain it to me if you know something I don't mate.

They cunts are always talking about shagging our arses so they'd lap it up.Nike produce Turkey strips. Maybe Nike should ‘queer-up’ the Turkish flag & slap it on the next strip.
You'll sometimes get cross party political agreement on almost literally everything. What's that amount to here out of interest?So when there is actual cross-party political agreement on this nonsense - which is extremely rare - does that not make you wonder ???
St George was born in modern day Turkey so this would be befitting I think.Nike produce Turkey strips. Maybe Nike should ‘queer-up’ the Turkish flag & slap it on the next strip.
He was a Cappadaconian Greek wasn’t he?St George was born in modern day Turkey so this would be befitting I think.
Politicians will take whatever stance they think will get them more votes.So when there is actual cross-party political agreement on this nonsense - which is extremely rare - does that not make you wonder ???
Got all intents and purposes it’s a rainbow flag. Utterly bizarre, but that’s the wokerati for you. They must cram their beliefs down everyone’s throats. LiterallyThink the reason Nike haven't gone ' full rainbow ' is it would be classed as a political statement,or could be .Not sure that's allowed under the rules .So they have done the nearest thing they could get away with.
Obviously England has already shown it's ' inclusiveness ' by adopting St George.No need for rainbow flagsHe was a Cappadaconian Greek wasn’t he?
I know mate ,but legally it would probably not be classed as a rainbow ( LGBTQ) flag .Got all intents and purposes it’s a rainbow flag. Utterly bizarre, but that’s the wokerati for you. They must cram their beliefs down everyone’s throats. Literally
If it’s a rainbow flag, then why aren’t the gays crying about Nike changing the colours of it?Got all intents and purposes it’s a rainbow flag. Utterly bizarre, but that’s the wokerati for you. They must cram their beliefs down everyone’s throats. Literally
Can you explain how this is "woke washing" please?Google ' Nike woke washing',you will get the information .
Is that on the cards?%^*& with the solitaire on a Scotland top and let's see the reaction.
Patience, it will happen at some point.Is that on the cards?
I really don’t see the fuss about this tbh, it’s a flag on a top, Scotland tops have changed the colour of the saltire as well, wasn’t much outrage then. Seems like certain folk just want to be annoyed with something.
Is that because it's not a rainbow?I know mate ,but legally it would probably not be classed as a rainbow ( LGBTQ) flag .
I can see what they've done
If there is nothing Woke or Political about it then why do it? Why not just use the proper flag?There’s nothing woke or political about it, it’s just a shit design. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nike decided to deliberately alter it to get people talking about it and help it to sell more.
Maybe even ‘fix’ it or remove the offending emblem and then make these shirts collectibles.
The FA have already given their reasons which didn't mention either woke nor politics.If there is nothing Woke or Political about it then why do it? Why not just use the proper flag?
No idea why they didn’t just use the normalIf there is nothing Woke or Political about it then why do it? Why not just use the proper flag?
"The coloured trim on the cuffs is inspired by the training gear worn by England's 1966 heroes, and the same colours also feature on the design on the back of the collar," a statement said.The FA have already given their reasons which didn't mention either woke nor politics.
I wonder if a kit manufacturer would add those colours to a Pakistan, Saudi, Qatar etc. flag on their jersey.
Yeah, thought not.
I think it's just a play on colours for style. But people are jumping to conclusions.What's with all this furore over the flag on the shirt?
They literally did the same thing for the 2011 kit. It had different coloured George's Crosses on the back. And that was with Umbro, not Nike.
Wonder if Nike would use that?
@insanicdrunk does not like this post mateComing to a Celtic kit near you soon!
