Reply With QuoteThere were no complaints when the designs were changed in the past. Right wing culture wars. As for the price, totally agree.

Looks like Nike are trying to force their wokeness on everyone!! It's a disgrace that they think they can alter our national flag without a care in the world!!
At £128 a shirt they can f**king keep it!
I did some design work for Nike many years ago and they were sooooooooooooooo fussy regarding the size and shape of their tick logo as well!

Would love to know what the cost price of these shirts. I wouldn't pay that for a Notts one never mind a shirt worn by players I don't identify with.

Is that it? Why is it woke, I don't get it? I had heard it was LGBT or race equality colours, but it isn't. Surely if the aim was to kind and respectful to everyone (which is basically what woke is ) then you would include all the colours, so I really doubt it is that.
It isn't really recognisable as a St Georges Cross, so I am inclined to think that it is just a designer playing with colours which is what Nike have said. Their mistake was really saying it was a play on the St Georges Cross, which makes me think that they would happily have said that it was to show respect and inclusion to all people regardless of race, ***ual orientation and gender if that were the case. So, my feeling is this is just a culture war whipped up by faux outraged politicians (including Starmer).
£128 is frankly a bigger insult.

The flag has never been changed from red and white though. The kits have changed yes but the flag no.
As someone who works in the rag trade so to speak the cost price in China will probably be less than a pint of beer in London.

Exactly. The country is a total mess, services are going down the pan, and all the right wing want to do is try and whip up some sort of a culture war.

It looks terrible - I don’t get how this is equated to “right wing culture wars” as it isn’t the right doing it - Go play with the flags of other nations and see how that plays out - It is unnecessary and clearly taking the opportunity to aggravate the average fan - The price will get the blame when no-one buys it..
