The design on the England goalkeeper shirt, part of the England team, that is in the exact shape of a set George’s cross, the flag of England, isn’t actually a St George’s cross, it’s the flag of Finland. You’ve outfoxed me there Took some time to google that one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike is another one of those huge corperates, who think they play part in changing the world, so maybe they think this could lead to a new 'everyone inclusive England logo'. I thought the FA had refused to comment on it? Where’s the rainbow on the new kit? why do you think pink, purple and red are supposed to represent ‘everyone’?

Also these questions are from my original post: Why is the colour of a cross on a football shirt supposed to show inclusivity? Which particular groups do you think this coloured cross shows inclusivity to? Do you think the colours as they were used in the 1966 training gear (that this kit was inspired by) were also used to be inclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withes_shin Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 As a matter of opinion would anyone be happy with Adidas using Royal Blue and White colourings on our new badge as a playful update so that the whole of Birmingham can feel inclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted March 22 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 22 1 hour ago, StefanAVFC said: @NurembergVillan did the same in 2011, and Peter Saville did the same in 2010 (the goalie shirt you say isn't a cross) and no one cared. Why is that? I actually designed the 2010 shirt too. Peter did the graphic concept with @PauloBarnesi. We blatantly spelt out that it was representative of the fabric of modern England. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I’m also taking from this train of thought that if the exact same colours were used but the design was plastered on the front of a goalie kit like the Joe hart one, people wouldn’t care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
