    Not sure what is going on here, not that I follow England any more, but the patch with the red cross of St George on the back of the shirts, which for years has been set against a white background, is now a shortened cross, in the colours of pink, purple and dark blue

    Anything else they want to mess with ? Who is allowing and sanctioning this rubbish ?

    At this rate I'm sure a lot of people would be happier with a pride flag or one from Palestine on the back of the shirt !

    But can Mr Flip Flop tell us what a gay one legged Palestinian looks like ?
    I'm assuming he'll be going down on one knee as usual showing his reverence <laugh><laugh>

    More erasing of our national identity ?

    Sport should be a-political

    Clearly nothing is sacred

    Apparently it’s a nod back to 1966
    I just can’t see it
    It’s utter nonsense

    Whats the defacing of the St Georges purpose? Its does not unite people. Our identity has been smeared.

    I find it so annoying to see the right to show your Englishness being strangled out of existence, but the underlying reasons are what concern me the most. During my possible final visits to my birth country I saw changes that quite frankly made me feel quite sick when I saw the human rights of the English peoples being eroded by dictates that favoured those from other places. Reading the local news from back there shows the violence and crimes being committed by ethnic groups who are more than prepared to use their human rights as a defence weapon against legal action. Sorry about that rave but the English flag is RED and WHITE and not some morphed colours of whatever political statement you are trying to say.

    Get real and make the change before people get really mad - as they are perfectly entitled in doing.

    I look forward to seeing what Nike do to the U S flag on any sportswear they produce for any of their national teams!

    The vast majority of the population are now the silent majority
    Thanks to Blair, the war criminal, who starting eroding Britishness fast by opening our borders to people who don’t belong here and are not welcome, that no one asked for
    They are freeloaders
    And where there’s ‘free’ someone with a job is paying for it
    4 million Muslims have the upper hand over 66 million odd non Muslims
    The country’s cities are now ghettos thanks to multiculturalism

    Ahh... Nike, the company that decided that is wasn't worthwhile producing a Mary Earps replica kit at the last Woman's
    World Cup!

    They don't seem to have much of a feeling for football in this country do they?

    The Primd Minister and the leader of the opposition have both voiced their concern over this
    But it seems that the person who you’d expect to take a stand against it, namely Gareth Southgate, says he’s got other priorities.
    Pathetic
    Nike didn’t just do this, someone at the FA must have either asked for it, or at least signed it off
    I’ve ordered an extra large Union Jack to replace the damaged one flying from the top of my summerhouse
    Anyone that doesn’t like it, too bad.

    Come and haul me away

    The controversial design is one thing but it's masking another problem....the shirt retails up to £125.
    Bloody scandalous.

    these shirts cost around £5 [ likely less ] to make at source!
    I occassionally in the past have ordered and bought 6 or 7 different lots of printed[ embroidered mostly ] shirts by way of tee/ polo/sweat types [ ENGLAND shirts are a larger version of the long sleeved Polo shirts. Because I wasnt making any profit [ not exactly true as I added 5% to final cost to cover expenses ] Quality was premier I have Tee/ polo / sweat shirts that have been washed at least 200 times [ dating from 2008 ]

    My retail to pre ordered shirts was polo type long sleeve was £9 [ short £8 ] printer in Bristol had to order in the shirts as although they do highest [ general ] quality these were a little bit more "stitched" but same label manufacturer.............

    SO ENGLAND RIP OFF.................. A B S O L U T E L Y ....

    I don’t watch or follow England these days, but as we approach the most critical domestic time of the season for a lot of clubs, (not us obviously!) why are we having yet another international break to play a meaningless friendly fixture against Brazil ?
    What happened to England playing on a Wednesday night without having to disrupt the league fixtures yet again ?

    I just don’t get it

    Must be my age !
