Can't wait for our Puma deal to end, although their kits since Rafa has been in charge have been mint...I'd love to get back to adidas, sign with Nike or even go with Umbro.

Adidas definitely, although Umbro have made seem decent kits for clubs. I quite like the one they did for us in 1988/89, can never find it for sale anywhere. Probably because that season was fucking awful, like.

I think it's pretty cool. Looks like a teamGB shirt or something though. Don't get the Union flag = EDL.

 

Agreed on this point. Although I do think that shirt is grim as hell anyway.

In my mind the Union flag and cross of St George are too far ingrained with racist groups now. I can’t see either flag without associating with one of the racist groups.

 

WTF dude, so we have no national flag that you can look at  with pride. That's sad, don't let these groups take away that from you man, you are just playing into their hands.

I'm with Stifler like. It's not a fair association at all like, but it's there unfortunately.

As a filthy foreigner, when I see the Union Jack and English flag, I now automatically think the people waving them are racist/Brexiters. They might not be, but that is what I will think. Feels somewhat similar to when I see the Confederate flag, but not as bad - yet.

 

That said, if I enter someone’s home here in Norway and they have the Norwegian flag on their wall or something - they’re also automatically racists in my head. So our flag is being ruined by a minority fucking shit up with how they use the flag as well.

All about how it’s used.

 

Using the flag on a flag post during national holidays / personal events - okay.

Shaving your head and walking down the street with the flag as a superman cape - not okay.

Having minor flag related interior items - borderline okay pending on time of year / context.

Having a flag nailed onto your living room wall - not okay.

 

Once the not okay people are more visible than the okay people, the context of the flag changes from national pride to racist propaganda.
