Bull's-eye Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Decent bit of free marketing by Nike/English FA. Probably the only way they're punting a kit that costs £125 or whatever it is. You need zipping up the back if you think the English FA didn't sign off on this and allowed Nike to just knock up a kit.

Sooperstar Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The Nicky Campbell phone in on BBC Radio was pure gold this morning. Absolute chaos with people shouting over each other, one woman saying that this flag thing had brought us one step away from overthrowing the royal family and that the King should have been asked for permission and then right at the end a sane woman came on and just started openly laughing at everyone else that was on at the same time as her. Well worth a catch up over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyBeach Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 3 hours ago, Alex MacDonald said: 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. Well said! What’s also remarkable - although sadly not surprising - is just how much airtime this nonsense was given by the, er, British media. We all know that if there was a similar issue with the kit of any of the other U.K. nations, it would barely get a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking that when it was initially released it was missing one of the 'arms' to complete the saltire, as the 3 creating a Y shape is similar to the Diadora logo? It was only after when Scotland flags asked for it to be a fully completed Saltire that we got this. Could be wrong but that was my memory of it.

Good point well made. i think that making fun of ourselves is a bit of a Scottish tradition at this point so don’t agree that there would be an uproar if the shoe was on our foot. If someone wanted to support one single element of the LGBTQ+ collective without making any reference to it whatsoever then I guess they have achieved their ultimate goal thus making our current society… something?
