"To be fair if an English company changed the colour of the American flag there'd probably be a war or something. I don't get what Nike are trying to do, changing the colour of the St George's cross. That being said, some Reform UK twat has said 'anymore of this and I'll be in a plane to Rwanda' so keep it up Nike!! Evie " I read the same quote and thought great one less racist in the uk well done Nike! | |||

"The St George's Cross on the back of the collar now has various colours instead of it being red." Can it actually be a St George's cross if it isn't red ? For example, if one of the stripes on the French flag was changed to purple would it still be the French flag ? | |||

And why have they changed the colour of the flag? What am I missing?" They are offended because they have fallen victim of the culture wars perpetrated in part by the government, GB news and certain parts of the right wing press. The colour change is beautiful and shows solidarity to all who want peace and love. | |||

We weren't always swamped with wokeness, and in this case, the colour of the political conversation is more important than that of the flag and kit.

"Well that went down well.. Personally I’m fine with it but it’s deffo upset the phobes
Why are people that don't take your view "phobes", that attitude is as aloof as it is childish.
But comments are made like "virtue signalling" and "woke nonsense" which are completely acceptable? And for what my opinion is worth... It's a fucking football shirt
If it just 'a fucking football shirt' then why change it from the standard red and white (like the flag of the nation it represents) at all?
The Chelsea badge on their shirt is multi-coloured. I don't see anyone making an issue out of that unless you look for a problem with it.
Chelsea isn't England, unless you're implying that all national teams should wear the same colours as our flag?
I can think of an obvious reason why they don't.
Considering you're moaning over something that was one colour and is now another, I think the analogy fits. But completely understand why you'd want to move those goalposts
It's not really a moan though is it?
I asked if it's no big deal it being a different colour, why change it at all?
You still haven't answered.
Are you lonely?
Yep, full on Heartbreak Hotel case here.
Are you flustered?
Ah, that explains a lot.
You didn't answer my question, are you flustered?
I didn’t? Oh well."I'll take that as a yes then, as you seem to get your feathers ruffled even when you're not being spoken to?

"Interestingly my Team GB replica football shirt from 2012 is based on a Union Jack design in varying shades of blue. The only red is in the trim. I can't remember there being an outcry then but presumably that was because there wasn't a government desperate for votes needing to stoke up culture wars."

Maybe we just need more of these things and everything will be great though right?!
Dunno. Maybe. I've never been to Coventry so can't say is rainbows would help brighten the place up.
Like everything else the left does, that would be akin to fixing an ever growing mountain of shit by spraying glitter on it rather than fixing the broken sewage pipe.
Though I strongly suspect the powers that be want the pipe pumping out sewage, and the glittery rainbow disguises are there to disguise it from the masses.
By the powers that be, do you mean the left wing radical that is Rishi Sunak and his government?
Yep, them, the most left wing government this country has ever had, 'Conservative' in name only.
The UK has no right wing representation in politics.
Ok, thanks for clarifying. You'll get your chance to vote them out soon enough.
There are no viable options, no one is genuinely representing genuine conservative values in the modern scene, including Reform.
I'll be writing 'I DO NOT CONSENT' on my ballot, and strongly suggest anyone who feels the same way do the same. Any government which refuses to represent the will of the majority is illegitimate."You understand consent then? Or is that just more woke nonsense? | |||
