New England shirt 2024 & St George’s scandal

IMO this is one of the best England shirts in years.

But there’s a few upset snowflakes over the artistic license used for incorporating blues and purples in the St George’s cross on the collar… personally I think it’s more scandalous that it’ll cost £85 minimum for an adult size.

    I don't understand why the England shirt is Blue and White. 
    The flag of St. George is Red and White. 
    Scotland have Blue in their national shirt. 
    Wales have Red in their national shirt 
    Ireland have Green in their national shirt. 
    Why do we have Blue in ours?

    Definitely one of my favourite England tops in a long time. Personally, not particularly fussed about the flag. Not sure why people get so wound up about such little things

    The French riot over the government, we get pissy over different colours on the flag. I think we have very different priorities.

    It's the colours of the England logo. Blue, white and red. Been our logo since the 1800s

    Wasn’t a problem when it was done before, just culture wars rubbish. Much more important things to get animated by

    Cannot think of anything more English than showing a small flag with altered colours!

    Would not be acceptable in most countries. But this is England.

    Different badge colours are a bit less of an issue to the colours of the actual flag being messed with. It looks crap anyway with the purples and blues

    Cl makes me laugh, people saying " don't see why people getting upset over such a little thing"  but when people were asking about changing the red red Robin song.. almighty uproar 
    Completely different situation. We aren't permanently changing the flag of the country. I agree I think it's a bit silly but doesn't bother me even slightly enough to get irate about it. Changing red red robin is erasing decades of the clubs traditions permanently.
  • Have the manufacturers said it’s the flag, or is it just an unnecessary decorative feature that people are assuming is the flag? I don’t see how it can be the flag if it’s not red and white.

    It's no longer really representative of the George Cross other than the shape. As people say there are much bigger things to worry about in the world but it's just a weird and unnecessary thing to mess around with.

    If it's not in the correct colour then it isn't the Cross of St George, can't pretend otherwise.The cost of the shirt is outrageous.

    anyone who doesn't agree with me is a snowflake, and anyone who doesn't agree with me is a racist. 

    shouldn't mess with flags IMO I wont be purchasing. 

    since covid was around we have an almight of cocks in this country on both sides of the left/right wing thoughts. 

    the country is changing and not for the better in front of our eyes, am i upset over a flag not really but the total disrespect for something that people value is a sign of the times, didnt some nutters rage war because of someone making fun of a cartoon?
