Angel eyes Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Our English chums are getting a bit worked up the St George cross has had a make over instead of the traditional red Nike has put a new spin on it changed the colour for the New England top plus charging £125 for the privilege and they ain’t happy…….😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Hilarious, they also struggle to tell the difference between their two flags and both political parties have changed the colours over the years. What a trivial thing to get worked up about but tells you everything you need to know about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex MacDonald Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 For decades they assumed the Union Jack was the English flag, thousands still do. Look at the footage of Wembley in 1966, how many St George’s Crosses are there? The vast majority are Union Jacks. For the Admiral England kits of the late 70’s and early 80’s, they’re white, blue and red, to tie in with the colours of the UJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad von Carstein Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 A caller on Nick Ferrari this morning whilst not happy with the flag logo, was more pissed that the Italian top also made by Nike ( I think) is selling for £80, equivalent, while England fans are paying £125... nother Brexit benefit?

Why would an England fan they want that abomination instead. Educate me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
