Have Nike desecrated the St George's flag?

Mr blobbys fault now. Where will this end.

"I might stop watching football altogether over this" Come and watch Everton love, we've got you fixed.

Queeny always got really excited when her team won

 

[dublinbluenose]

She looked so happy to see her forefathers country lift the cup

There's a young woman on the radio laughing at the gammons... She's ace!

"do you raise the georges flag for the football"

"No, I only raised it for when charles was crowned king"

This is apparently real.

"what's the navy got to do with the union jack"

Got a nike member of staff from a decade ago on now.

Scotland's fault now. From the horses mouth.

They do it all the time.

Some weirdo on the radio this morning was moaning that they should be wearing the St Georges cross on the kit like Bobby Moore did when they won the World Cup in 66. Not only did they not have a flag on the kit (nations very rarely do, Japan is the only one I can think of who always has it somewhere) but it ignores the fact that England used the Union Jack as their flag back then in football anyway.

Full disclosure- I don't like the St George's flag. I don't like what it represents and I'm no longer the slightest bit proud of my country. I'm surprised that Nike feel free to play around with their own flag, it was my understanding that there were loads of draconian narcissistic laws about the US flag.

If he's against it - I'm for it

"I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway
Whatever it is, I'm against it
No matter what it is or who commenced it
I'm against it

Your proposition may be good
But let's have one thing understood:
Whatever it is, I'm against it
And even when you've changed it or condensed it
I'm against it"
Etc, etc,

This is all great, free publicity for Nike and the kit launch. Probably one of the intentions as it's obvious it would trigger this kind of reaction.

I'm gonna have some fun today.

The flag code is quite specific in places, but there's a difference between an actual flag (and therefore covered by the flag code) and an image of the flag (not covered).

Which is why it's fine for Americans to dress head to toe in flag-printed clothing, as long as it's not an actual flag.

Dear Joey,

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

Seems Joey is a flag Sh@gger mate, but this one isn’t his type and doesn’t fancy him.

Doesn’t normally stop him to be fair….
