They’ve not quite read the room here which I’m quite enjoying
Not bad price for something a whole rainbow family can wear. Certainly a lot just for a far right hetero£125 for a template design t-shirt. What a business Nike have.
Who knew that Alf Ramsey and his 1966 heroes were big bisexuals."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.
Some are whipping themselves into a frenzy about this. Bring back the proper football.
Not good enough! Het fkn raging nowWhat'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.
That statement / "explanation" from Nike !"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.

Would you care if the woke crackpots done similar to the Rangers badge?Its been done with the rugby top on occasion too. Nobody cares.
And 1000s returning it because they never knew about the badge.It’s already selling out on the Nike online store.
Aye, that's a game they don't want to play.
Are you deliberately misunderstanding the post? Or are views that aren't your own not allowed here? I don't see how that example with the proper Scotland flag still on the front and centre is in any way comparable to this England top. Is there anything wrong with having that view?You cant genuinely be annoyed about this mate? Like, actually bothered?
The saltire on the new Scotland away top is purple and sky blue rather than royal blue and white.Not a wise move from Nike or the English FA, a nonsense addition that shouldn’t have passed the design stage. Whether people like it or not there are plenty of folk who are passionate about their country and the emblem on their shirt.
The posts above talking about the Scotland top conveniently ignore the Saltire in its correct colours within the badge whilst also failing to acknowledge that the design is the flag in reversed colours, no additions or anything else.
So someone saw the shirt, though “that’s a great shirt, I’m going to buy it right away”, then received the shirt and spotted a minor design detail on the back of the collar and thought “%^*& this, I’m returning it!”.And 1000s returning it because they never knew about the badge.
Wonder if Nike would use that?
£119.99 without the name and number and people wonder why the market is flooded with fakes!Quite like the away one. For an 11 year olds full strip with name and number will it be about £100?

And this happened thousands of times.
Would i care if nike adapted a tiny rangers badge on the back of the collar? Not even in the smallest bit.Would you care if the woke crackpots done similar to the Rangers badge?
It's the pro version at that price.£119.99 without the name and number and people wonder why the market is flooded with fakes!
of course not. People can hold any views they like, even ones i find confusing. I just don’t understand how people that are unlikely to buy the top anyway can get themselves upset about something as insignificant as a small badge. There are a million things worth being upset about in life, im just confident that this can be one of them for some people. Each to their own i guess.Are you deliberately misunderstanding the post?

It’s a gay/bisexual flag. Have a lookIf it’s a rainbow flag, then why aren’t the gays crying about Nike changing the colours of it?
It’s a gay/bisexual flag. Check online. Identical coloursI know mate ,but legally it would probably not be classed as a rainbow ( LGBTQ) flag .
I can see what they've done
Problem they have is that people now won’t buy it and not just because of the price!No idea why they didn’t just use the normal
flag, or none at all. Possibly to generate interest and hits?
Not sure why woke politics needs to be dragged into this. The Scotland away is purple with a miscoloured Saltire on the back, is that woke nonsense too?
The saltire on the new Scotland away top is purple and sky blue rather than royal blue and white.
Scotland away top? Scotland a-woke top more like.
Not what you said earlier.It’s a gay/bisexual flag. Check online. Identical colours
Irrelevant, it’s had the colours adapted exactly the same as the England top has.The Saltire on the away is designed to blend in with the kit, no additional colours added to it.
It’s clearly based on it ffs. It’s absolutely obvious. And yes it does look Like a de facto rainbow flag. Nike have form for this shit.Not what you said earlier.
I saw that moron Barton’s post too, it’s clearly not a bisexual flag.
Start your own thread then and leave this one to the folk who like the strips? That’s how this works right?Both are boggin. Hate that Nike neck.
This thread and the OP are explicitly asking for opinion on the strip. Is that not the case?Start your own thread then and leave this one to the folk who like the strips? That’s how this works right?
Wtf are you on about?It’s clearly based on it ffs. It’s absolutely obvious. And yes it does look Like a de facto rainbow flag. Nike have form for this shit.
Dry yer eyes sweetieWtf are you on about?
It’s either a rainbow flag or it’s not. It’s not the shape or colour of a rainbow flag, so it is objectively not a rainbow flag (not that there is anything wrong with that).
I might buy the top now, annoy gammons and Scottish Nats at the same time.
Dry yer eyes sweetie
128Quite like the away one. For an 11 year olds full strip with name and number will it be about £100?
The bastardisation of Flag of St George is just not on. Fancy a pink & green UJ above Ibrox? Course not - same thing. Some stuff you just dont feck with no matter how much money is involved.Genuinely can't believe the things people get raging about. Sunak and Starmer commenting on it, f*ck me man. What a world.
I wasn’t buying it regardless. The point was vandalism of the St George’s flag. It’s reprehensible but Nike have form for this type of shit. They wouldn’t do it in the Middle East and that’s a place that needs more inclusion, why not? It’s a literal example of virtue signalling, low hanging fruit for them.The irony after crying about a wee design on the back of a shirt you won’t buy and the “wokerati”
Incredible scenes in here. Proper heads gone stuff over a minute detail on a fücking football strip that most won’t even buy.
And it’s become the political hot topic of the day. Deary me.
Don’t remember the fury over the team GB told with the dark blue UJ personally.The bastardisation of Flag of St George is just not on. Fancy a pink & green UJ above Ibrox? Course not - same thing. Some stuff you just dont feck with no matter how much money is involved.
Colours adapted to the colour scheme/style of the kit, not added to. The England flag is unrecognisable as they’ve added multiple colours/layers to it.Irrelevant, it’s had the colours adapted exactly the same as the England top has.
There was no fury because there was no socio-political statement regarding sexuality ffs.Don’t remember the fury over the team GB told with the dark blue UJ personally.
Exactly. There’s some disingenuous posts in here. It’s like the last 10 years never happened.There was no fury because there was no socio-political statement regarding sexuality ffs.
