Who’s upset with the New England kit? 09:47 - Mar 22 with 5836 views | Butty101 | It’s a bit woke, I would like to Nike try that trick with Stars and Stripes and see how that goes. That said anyone over 30 wearing a football shirt is a complete plum! | |

Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 11:12 - Mar 22 with 4821 views | NYC_Saint | I haven't looked shirt prices since I bought a baby saints shirt for my first child 12 years ago. I was shocked to see the prices. Especially for the children's tops. Surely there should be something like a 25 pounds cap on a child's shirt? Fine if you want to charge through the roof for an authentic one (I would love if someone could explain to me what this difference is) but it should be semi affordable for someone to by their kids a football shirt especially given it's short self life before a new one replaces it. | | |  |

Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 11:44 - Mar 22 with 4791 views | franniesTache | I find the whole thing the perfect example of how f*cking insane the world has got, Peter Saville (one of the best designers this country has ever produced) did exactly the same thing on the england shirt in 2010 and absolutely no one batted an eyelid or even mentioned it. But now... everyone has completely lost the plot about something that's so incredibly unimportant it's laughable. "Saville – who initially made his name through his work with Factory Records, and is now recognised as one of Britain’s leading creative minds – has crafted this design through a consideration of England’s cultural makeup. Inspired by the increasingly diverse fabric of England, the design takes the traditional St. George’s cross and reinterprets it as a reoccurring motif in four different colours – the traditional red, blue and green which feature in England’s three lions crest, plus a blend of all three which comes out as a striking purple." https://www.dezeen.com/2010/09/02/england-home-kit-by-peter-saville-for-umbro/ | | |  |

Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 12:26 - Mar 22 with 4734 views | Manhattan_Lynx | I actually really like the shirt, but I won't be able to play because my bunions have flared up again and my training regime is in tatters. | | |  |

Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 15:27 - Mar 22 with 4530 views | Bazza | The kit is ok but no one should mess with the English flag. | | |  |
Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 16:16 - Mar 22 with 4486 views | saintmark1976 | Your comment made me laugh Manhattan Lynx. In all honesty I doubt that even with bunions your performance could be worse than some of the players Southgate will select to play. Maguire will give his usual impression of an out of control oil tanker and at some point in time I fully expect Kane to blast another penalty into outer space Every couple of years since 1966 we get told this time it will be different and it never is. Something else that remains the same is the F A are able to con vast sums of money from hapless fans by selling shirts at ridiculous prices. Fools and their money being easily parted come to mind. | |

Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 17:18 - Mar 22 with 4419 views | City_boy | Nike made announcement today about pressure on revenue. This was before they pulled this marketing stunt. This was unnecessary, although it is not the first time they have got involved in political controversy or perceived social injustices. In 2018 they backed Colin Kaepernick (former US NFL player), who took the knee during national anthem. They faced a big backlash on social media and it affected their share price for a while. These companies do not learn. The list of those who have gone down this route have been hit hard, including Bud light (who are still suffering), Ben and Jerrys, Coca Cola / Pepsi, Disney to name a few. Just seen picture of Harvey Elliott, who pulled his collar up to hide flag. Be interesting to see if any of the senior team follow suit ? | | |  |
Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 17:35 - Mar 22 with 4404 views | franniesTache | Jesus Christ it’s a design detail on the back of a football shirt. When the f*ck did this country decide to collectively turn into small children and make a fuss about the least important things | | |  |
Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 17:50 - Mar 22 with 4390 views | City_boy | If that is the case, why not do some other design. Did they really have to mess with the national flag/identity and make a point of deliberately changing the flag. As other posters have pointed out, they would not have done this with the US flag.

Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 18:36 - Mar 22 with 4346 views | Manhattan_Lynx | Perhaps they could do an alternative version for the perpetually angry/sensitive market and replace the offending image with a snowflake (an English one). They could also offer an embroidered "WE WANT ARE COUNTRY BACK" for the sleeves (extra cost). | | |  |

Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 20:44 - Mar 22 with 4227 views | Capt_Koons | Yep, the price for a kids shirt is a fúckng disgrace. Well done Kier Starmer for calling Nike out on it. | |

Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 22:34 - Mar 22 with 4151 views | franniesTache | The cross is a very, very recent thing, other designers have equally “messed with it” the Brazil kit by Nike has something identical. This country needs to grow the f*ck up and stop throwing a hissy fit about meaningless sh*t. | | |  |
Who’s upset with the New England kit? on 23:07 - Mar 22 with 4129 views | Southamptonfan | Sorry, but the England flag is the England flag. I don't particularly care, but stop changing what is. We can't call a burger a cabbage. Just leave things alone and stop complicating everything. Nobody asked for the England cross to be turned purple, so why do it? It's England so display the English flag, stop complicating things that are so simple. As for the price, this will do: https://direct.asda.com/george/men/t-shirts/white-england-football-t-shirt/GEM98 You're off your rocker if you pay £125. [Post edited 22 Mar 2024 23:21]
