    The important bit is that these symbols are those of a christian saint, not an islamic prophet.

    So really this tinkering with the cross of St George is an attack on a christian symbol so more shirts can be sold to non-christians.
    And the 2012 England shirt that changed the colour of the England flag?

    Or the Union flag Boris Johnson flew in 2019 with all the blue removed? Was that a slant on St Andrew?

    I don’t think it would not be the union flag at all. The union in the United Kingdom is the union between the English and Scottish.

    There was no pearls clutched over it either way.

    I'm shocked there was never an uproar over this...
