The amount of right wing flag shaggers who won’t buy that shirt out spite. Will likely cost Nike millions. I'm no flag worshipper or anything, but I don't understand why any designer would change the colours of a national teams flag and try to promote it as something wonderful and revolutionary. Cant imagine there's too many national FAs that would even consider it. Could you see Germany allowing pink stripes between the red, black and gold to show their LGBT tolerance, or Scotland changing their blue to slate grey to reflect their normal weather, or Ireland just displaying a pint of Guinness? Daft idea and is clearly change just for the sake of change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early days but he seems very good tbf. Maybe that Elliott video mocking Kane's speech, if a remember correctly, from a few years back is playing against him now. Especially to integrate him so near to a major tournament, or Southgate just doesn't fancy him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot's good but Mainoo looks special. The Wolves goal, some of the dribbling in the Liverpool game on the weekend. He looks the better player.

I remember thinking this was pretty shit but it wasn’t based around the colours it was that the shirt looked like it was covered in dots from afar. This flag drama of the current shirt is just a daft pissing match for the gammons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they actually promoting it as wonderful and revolutionary? Genuine question. I thought it was supposed to be “playful”. A google found a snippet here: the FA have outlined that the altered colours act as a nod to the 'classic colour regime' of the training gear which was worn by England's 1966-World Cup winning squad. The Three Lions' triumph remains the men's only senior international honour. Nike have echoed similar sentiments, describing the kit in a statement as a design which "disrupts history with a modern take on a classic. The trim on the cuffs takes its cues from the training gear worn by England’s 1966 heroes, with a gradient of blues and reds topped with purple. "The same colours also feature an interpretation of the flag of St. George on the back of the collar." Not sure how many nations would be happy with a different interpretation from a nations flag on a shirt that represents them in a country representing sport.

RS Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 You can see why they’d change the flag seeing as it’s long been adopted by racists, but that’s a shit effort. I’m not a big fan of the national team and all the plastic national pride that goes with a competition doomed to end in yet another failure. I would rather Newcastle won the league cup than England win anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 As usual with these culture war things, everyone involved is shite. The new kits are absolutely lush tbf, love that knitted style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The gear is looking absolutely banging though personally I don't love the texture, certainly as it appears on the home. Makes it look like a cricket jumper. Having recently deviated from DHGate to picking up cheap genuines off Vinted, you can tell the difference been fakes and the manufacture-made ones, and tbh I'd love to pick one of those aways up. But the prices are an utter, utter disgrace. For all they're better than the fakes, they're not £60/70 better. They're worth £40 at the absolute limit. Absolute scandal. Winds me up no end.

TheBrownBottle Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Don’t care about the multi-coloured flag of St George, couldn’t give a shite about a redesigned badge (which isn’t as ancient as the usual twats may realise). Price is a disgrace, and I don’t like England’s away colours being changed at any point. Red tops, white shorts, red socks. Them’s the rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're a Man Utd fan so you're bound to disagree. I do like Elliott at Liverpool, and I think he should get a chance at some point, hopefully Mainoo is chosen during these friendlys or given minutes, and I can maybe see more, as many clearly think he's got something. 👍🏼 Edited March 22 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
