He's had a pop at Kyle walker too for having a diamond ear ring and wearing tights to training, whereas Bellingham is a proper lad and a winner cos he wore shorts Joey seems to be opting for the upside down and on fire way out Scary that he has a platform to voice his opinions let alone have people agree with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 It's a sad day for the state of UK political discourse when Gareth Southgate comes out with more sense than the PM or leader of the opposition. The manager of the national team quite rightly points out that it's really not very high on his list of priorities. If only our **** prime minister and his replacement had a list of priorities to distract him from such trivial nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) You guys aren’t taking this seriously enough. There are some things that you just don’t joke about. The little flag on the England shirt is a slightly different colour!! How can you all laugh about this so easily!?

LondonLax Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 You have to wonder though why Nike have done this. They must have known what kind of reaction they would get changing a countries flag, they are not completely tone deaf. Are they marketing on the idea that all publicity is good publicity? Was it a boozy long lunch dare between design executives? I can’t imagine this kit is going to be a big seller for them though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Looking at the various bits of training kit and coats etc our lot had you can see it's our colourway, we don't have red on any of it Agree I'm still not sure why they did it, Brazil have the same collar but with no detailing on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) As a side to it, I'm in the UK for Easter and planning on buying it, am I mad because there's going to be a decent sale on these within a month? Edited March 23 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this thread shows, changing the colours of the flag has been done countless times. So I don’t think they could have safely predicted the ridiculous shitshow that the reaction has been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
479Villan Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 It’s a kit between world cups: by its definition it’s a pointless kit. but getting mad about pointless things is a politician’s job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just been gobbled up by the shitshow of a government and press we have that want to drag everything into a culture war that they hope will win them an election even though they're utterly incompetent. For me, the bigger problem of the kit is that the blue is too dark - we looked like Germany tonight in black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one with Konsa 12 on it on the back from Questionable Sources because I'm going to stiff Nike AND piss off the flag humpers.

I dont think the creative change considered how many gammons that would get offended I genuinely dont think a pro American company like Nike would offend on purpose that might make a backlash at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
