Can someone enlighten me - surely when this has been designed , there must of been some approval / written off that the design was good before going to mass producing ? If so who was it that signed it off
 
Unless Nike can conjure up some better defenders, midfielders and a goalscorer who isn't Harry Kane to wear it then neither here nor there and it'll have a limited shelf life anyway.

It's just trying to be too fancy for the sake of it with something that didn't need to be included in this way because there would always be a reaction. If the red & white Saint George's cross was a staple of every England kit since year one and then it was altered then I could understand but I think it's more extra detail to try set it apart from everyone elses standard template. As long as there's a queue of people who are willing to pay 85/125 quid for a football shirt then this is how it'll be. Pink and green polka dots third kit etc

League football is thankfully back at the weekend and everyone will move on to the next thing.

Honestly, I don’t know what the problem is. I think it is one of our better shirts to be honest. Yes, not traditional colours but we all know it is a St George’s Cross. I find it staggering that Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer waded in on this. Surely they have got more important things to do?
 
Parts of the Middle East regard it with hatred, being the historic Crusader symbol to them and signifying death and destruction, even though 800 years ago. Just saying.

But £125 for a cheaply-made thin polyester shirt? It should have a badge in gold thread for that price. That’s the decision that I think shows the FA are out of touch.

According to the papers today, Nike wanted to go full Rainbow on the shirts, never mind the flag - but The FA said no.

Nike clearly gone full woke and virtue signalling, clearly got some numpties who work there pushing all this crap.

They should probably be careful as you can end up damaging the brand, like budweiser did.

Anyone paying £125 for a football shirt needs their head reading.
