Interestingly though, red, white and blues is a feature of the Union Jack, not the English flag, so even then it wasn't strictly correct to have blue in the kit.
And I've never really understood the blue shorts which go with the white shirt.

At that point, and really all the way up until Euro '96 if you look in the crowd at England games you'd see the Union Jack rather than the cross of St George so can see why back then it would have been red, white and blue.
I think blue shorts go best with the kit, and as we have now gone back to having the same kit for the men's and women's team there are good reasons as to why white shorts shouldn't be worn and women's teams have gone away from them.
I think we have tried red shorts before but didn't really go, so the white shirts, blue shorts and white socks goes well for me and 'looks' like England at first glance

The Poles have red shorts, but I agree they don't really go.
For what it is worth, and I am not an England fan, I think my favourite England kit is the World Cup wining one which was simple and had the shirts red. But I realise white shirts have traditionally been associated with England, so I can't see the team ever going down a different route.

Why is it wrong, rather than just not to your taste. What actual issue or problem does it cause? Your challenge is to answer without sounding like lee anderson....
Incidentally the 1966 shirt did not have a little cross on the neck, or at all. What disrespectful woke scum they were. Its political correctness gone mad.
Very few St George fans at Wembley in 1966, if indeed any all Union Jacks.
People forget this has fuck all to do with @Nike .they had a product to sell, The English @FA accepted it and were happy with it. So we should blame all the snowflake generation working in the FA and the person who agreed to this including Southgate the biggest snowflake of all. pic.twitter.com/HWNjXscQWw

What’s Starmer got to do with anything? If I don’t care that the flag is stylise in a design piece, I’m not going to change my mind because of what he thinks. I couldn’t give a monkey’s what he thinks. And there’s a very good chance he doesn’t think that in any case. But even if he does, so what?
This is all very odd. If people don’t want our flag altered and used in this way, fine. If people don’t mind, also fine. Kicking off about it in the press (or giving credence to the press/pundits/politicians who are trying to get people to kick off about it) and then arguing about it for hours = very odd. Far more important things to complain about imo (I've deleted this as it made me sound like a self-righteous twot lol. People can worry about what they want of course).

This is absolutely my point, you should not be giving a monkey's what anyone thinks, Keir Starmer or otherwise. Others though seem to be justifying their opinion depending on which group they oppose, tories, gammons, violent scouse philosophers etc as opposed to any independent reasoning, which then comes undone when now leaders of all three of the main political parties are in agreement.
Personally i don't give a monkey's either, as my position is that I am patriotic and love Britain but have no interest whatsoever in flags or the royals and am a republican. So I couldn't really pick a side anyway.
The Poles have red shorts, but I agree they don't really go.

The red was the away one, with the home kit being white with blue shorts at that time
Gimme a country that's red white and blue Gimme the British way honest and true Gimme the chance to be one of the few Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme a nation where people are free Free to do and free to be Free to screw you before you screw me Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
(Chorus:) Cos, I'm all right, I'm all right Union Jack, fly the flag
Gimme a Britain that's got back the Great A race of winners not cramped by the State And only the helpless get left at the gate Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
