The Milan shirt does not have a Saint George cross on. It is the cross of Saint Ambrose. There was an outcry from certain communities who were offended because they were offended because it reminded them of the Crusades, It had to be pointed out to them what it actually represented. Have any of our shirts previously featured a StvGeorge cross? Can’t remember. If not why start with a playfully reimagined one.
Turns out, we actually had something similar a few years ago but no one was bothered then. Perhaps a symbol of how this culture war stuff has blown up in a short space of time. https://www.dezeen.com/2010/09/02/england-home-kit-by-peter-saville-for-umbro/ please log in to view this image
the culture war is like the racism war its just a way to have people argue amongst themselves and raging at some random colour of a **** cross while the economy and equality and all the rest goes to ****, instead of putting focus on that its culture war **** but thats for another day record amounts of homeless, food bank use etc etc but who cares, the trannies are taking over
Nothing to do with Culture war or any other such nonsense from these quarters. I'm more concerned with the obliteration of a national flag and the reference to it being playful...
Mainly red flag, white circle in the centre, and in the circle an odd shape in black. Godwin's law reached. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
But if the flag was also obliterated 14 years ago without all this anger, it's hard not to wonder about what's changed in that time and what is different this time around. Are many people generally angrier and/or less tolerant? Suspect no one will identify as such but it certainly seems that way.
Rumour has it that Scotland's kit will feature a playful interpretation of the Saltire, it's a red cross on a white field. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
It's just push back from people feeling they're being told what to think and find acceptable. People (obviously not everyone) are usually pretty ok with others doing and thinking whatever they want, even if they don't particularly get or like it. The problems start when people feel they're being revolted against. What I'll never understand is when certain sections believe our national flag/flags to not 'belong' to them as they 'belong' to someone else. Sorry, but no. That is entirely made up in your own mind.
Surely that would be a pink flag with a blue circle with a purple Hindu symbol for peace and prosperity in the middle?
When was the flag obliterated? The angry intolerant ones marching around in our cities are not carrying our flag.
Look forward to a playful reimagination of flags involving crescents ans stars in pink, blue and purple and the reaction in those countries.
Are you saying they are wrong? We shouldn’t kowtow to their demands to accept their ways? I suppose that is some progress.
'Obliterated' wasn't a good choice of word I don't think, but he was clearly just referring to a previous England shirt that had a cross design (at the same scale as a flag) repeated in a rainbow selection of colours.
