England new kit has enraged Joey Barton and the gammons… 17:56 - Mar 21 with 9274 views | ITFC_Forever | But has anyone said why the flag has been changed? Or are they creating something to moan about (ie; that it’s woke nonsense)? Personally don’t see why they’ve done it, and I won’t be buying it - not as some kind of anti-woke protest, but because at £125 or £85, it’s a massive rip-off. | |

Presume they just fancied playing around with a bit of colour (don't imagine England kits are the most inspiring to work on!) | |

They have the nerve because people but then. No one is forced to buy the shirt or any other merchandise. | | | |

England new kit has enraged Joey Barton and the gammons… on 18:51 - Mar 21 with 4676 views | HighgateBlue | The price is stupid. Nobody should buy it at that price, even if the FA and Nike were aware of what the St George's flag looks like, which seemingly they aren't. Have the flag on, leave it off, I really don't care. But it's just stupid to do it wrong wilfully. I guess it has created the publicity that they presumably wanted, however. Looking forward to 'playful updates' of other nations' flags... | | | |

Apparently there are two types of kit. the £115 is a replica kit that you can play in, the other one is just a glorified T-shirt. I think that one is £75 which is still steep. I'm tempted by the purple away shirt. I would like to get my son his first England kit too, but I'm really put off by the prices. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

This issue is that those kits are a complete rip-off and they should be hammered for that. The woke comments are annoying in the extreme. There are bad instances of woke stuff, but this is not one of them. I don't like the purple on the ST Georges Cross on the home kit, bit it suits the away kit. | | | |

Probably made in China and they didn't realise what colour it is meant to be. | |

England new kit has enraged Joey Barton and the gammons… on 20:23 - Mar 21 with 4316 views | textbackup | I just don’t understand why you’d change the flag of a nation. It’s a countries flag, seems unnecessary. But you can be sure the FA were ok with it, signed it off. Again, no idea why they’d think that’s ok, but it’ll tick a box somewhere I’m sure | |

Yeah. You may be just five years old, working 15 hours a day for 2p an hour in a sweatshop, but have some fcuking pride in your work! | |

Do we need to be so sensitive about national symbols? We're not Americans for god's sake. | |

Though always amusing when the likes of Nike try and do something ‘virtuous’ with their design, when it’s probably knocked out in a sweatshop by a 10 year old to enhance profit… [Post edited 21 Mar 21:14]

Seems to have upset the usual suspects, both in the wider world and on here. I had my TWTD bingo card ready and it’s filling up as expected. | | | |

....I had a bingo card of all the posters who'd be saying how insignificant it was and how great they were for not caring about it. Funny old place this. Innit. | |

How about when Umbro put the St. George's cross in four different colours all over the shirt to represent the country's diverse cultural makeup. | |

Only one or two have said that so your bingo card will look pretty empty. You should have gone for posters who think it’s overpriced - that’s where the money would have been. | | | |

It seems silly to out the flag on it, and then ‘playfully update’ it without saying what it is for. Either put the flag on properly, or don’t. Looks rubbish on there as much as any thing for me, but I think if you’re sticking the flag on there, it should be left as such | |
