Should just go full on and have some Ukraine coloured stripes down the shorts and one of those Facebook logos "I'VE HAD MY COVID VACCINE" instead of the England badge.

Changing the flag is a bit of a pointless thing to do, and probably a bit daft, but there's no doubt which team the shirt represents. I do think that some folks are getting a little too cross about something which, in the grand scheme of things, is pretty small fry isn't it?On the 'Off Topic' thread, someone once told me to stop going on about GB news and if I don't like it then simply don't watch it, which was a fair shout I'd guess. So I'd recommend using the same philosophy in this instance; if you don't like it then don't buy it. Actually, if you are thinking of buying it then you must be crazy at them prices!!

Actually, if you are thinking of buying it then you must be crazy at them prices!!Your analogy works if this was some cheap knock off from sports direct - kinda like describing GB new there hahaBut this isn't, this is the OFFICIAL national kit producer and FA themselves telling you this is what your flag looks like. And of crouse if you don't like it, it's your fault and you're the problem The complaints arent just about "a bit of embrodiery', nazi or confederate flag are just bits of embroidery dude. People are just slowly getting sick to death of multinational millionaire companies using any opportunity possible to spread their work diversity BS and when you just thought they couldn't do any more they change the national flag and release utter dross about why. Yes the same companies that use sweat shops and won't fly their rainbow stuff in the UAEThey've attempted diversity and only achieved division. Yet if you don't like it you're the problem. Goodness that sentence is like the definition of the left
The twisted knickers is messing about with the flag and choosing to use the England Football kit to display it. The kit is otherwise a very good one. Yes, I understand the whole tradition, although I'm from the generation who would perhaps prefer the red shirts as no 1, particularly post 66, but that's another debate. So the issue remains, if we are to display our national flag on the kit, don't abuse it.
No one gave a shit when the Peter Saville designed shirt had green, blue and I think purple St Georges Crosses in it. no one gives a shit when club teams have st georges crosses in their club colours.
Yes absolutely disgraceful that a multi-millionaire run organisation is allowed to change the colour of our flag for political point scoring.

I seem to remember Peter openly said, he chose multicoloured crosses to make the shirt more inclusive...Not a peep from anyone decrying this overtly woke stylistic choice back then that I can recall.Edit: yep, thought he did.https://www.dezeen.com/2010/09/02/england-home-kit-by-peter-saville-for-umbro/
Even the outrage at the price is a bit overblown.The media keep quoting £125 but that is for the players version.The regular replica top is about £80. Still too much but it's less of a contentious price.

Still too much but it's less of a contentious price.£80 for a football shirt is an effing ridiculous price whichever way you look at it. Football for the fans eh?Edit: also why is the 'players' version over a third more expensive than the 'stadium' version? Are there extra fine fabrics which help a players performance in the more expensive one? Is the less expensive one actually a crop top and is that why its a third cheaper?

Is the less expensive one actually a crop top and is that why its a third cheaper?I believe the players version does use different high performance fabrics. Probably not worth the extra money but there it is.There is a good chance the stadium version will actually be a more robust version. The players one will be extra lightweight.
