Have Nike desecrated the St George's flag?

[chrismpw]

Not arsed because there's no way I'm handing that amount of cash to anyone for a mass-produced t-shirt. I especially don't like Nike involved in football. They're just using the football herd to relentlessly milk money in return for churningvout their bland uninspired designs and over the top marketing typical of a US Corp.

I'd say it just shows a lack of understanding or respect to their target consumer (again typical of Nike) but in all honesty so many English are so thick they won't notice or care. They think just handing over that sum of money for a plastic shirt us a sign to others of having "made it." Plonkers.

They would be lynched in the US if they tried mucking around with the design of their own vulgar, garish flag.

The leader of the opposition, currently enjoying a large lead in the polls with an election expected in the autumn, was speaking to the Sun political correspondent Harry Cole and said: “I’m a big football fan, I go to England games, men, women’s games. And the flag is used by everybody, it’s unifying, it doesn’t need to change.

Was going to ask about the uninspired badge redesign but by the end of the post you'd hit the ground running good style so all's I can muster is admiration.

Loving the outrage at a tiny cross on the back of the neck of a shirt that won't be seen again unless you actively look for it.

Is right. Inclusivity in sport.

It's almost as if Nike assumed die-hard England fans would like a link back to the 1966 training kit.
Nike are so stupid.

Don't they realise their target consumer is actually too lazy to read, and very quick to jump and shout about anything they can tenuously link to the enemy that is wokeness?

I don't think flags have a sexuality.

To a special sort of person they do.

They do it all the time.

Some weirdo on the radio this morning was moaning that they should be wearing the St Georges cross on the kit like Bobby Moore did when they won the World Cup in 66. Not only did they not have a flag on the kit (nations very rarely do, Japan is the only one I can think of who always has it somewhere) but it ignores the fact that England used the Union Jack as their flag back then in football anyway.

I don’t like it but you have to doff your cap to Nike’s marketing department. The amount of publicity this has created would cost a fortune normally. Sadly a sign of our times.

This is the maddest thing I've yet seen cause mass gammon enragement.

Just nuts.
