Have Nike desecrated the St George's flag?

I chanced upon a Facebook post from a Southern England footie fan:



An impassioned argument on an important subject, I'm sure you'll agree.

So, are Nike naughty or have they created quite a nice design?

Seems to have upset the Tories.

I always said that North African dragon he slayed would have the last laugh.

I think it looks jolly nice and by mixing up the colours is a metaphor for multicultural England.

 

[Nymzee]

Looks cool.

Dear Joey,

I don't think flags have a sexuality. They're inanimate objects. But you knew that, right?

 

[Nymzee]

Ah, of course.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

The outrage is real.

 

[Tigger]

Looks crap. Not sure it's news worthy mind.

We can expect to see Sunak in it. A last-ditch attempt to achieve street cred.

From the same article:

“The England 2024 Home kit disrupts history with a modern take on a classic,” a spokesperson said. “The trim on the cuffs takes its cues from the training gear worn by England’s 1966 heroes, with a gradient of blues and reds topped with purple. The same colours also feature an interpretation of the flag of St. George on the back of the collar.”

Oh right, so celebrating England's finest footballing hour?

One might think we live in a country of mindless reactionaries who thrive on faux-outrage.

Not me, of course. I think they're all jolly clever.
