Asda launches wearable England flag

Asda execs can't see anything wrong with this. At all?

A

AIBU to think it is slightly obvious what the flag resembles?

what offends you about the england flag then,

are we not allowed to be proud without falling foul of people like you accusing wearers being part of the edl.

so no flags at all for the football then

Perhaps they should have taken the photo from the front angle?

or the hood looks like the kkk you mean

To be honest, I didn't look at it and think KKK.

I thought it was some kind of mac for when it rains.

Being Scottish, you wouldn't catch me dead in it anyway, but i don't think they're trying to recruit for the KKK ffs.

YABU.

it resembles a flag. And a hideous large cagoule. What is your point?

Yes mrsbucket, the hood looks like a kkk robe. The England flag part of it does not offend me.

but as the kkk has no place in the uk its null and void.

please!

FFS if it bears any resemblance at all to a KKK robe, it's simply because the hood is white and the photographer chose to take a photo of the back of the person wearing it.

Take it from the front and you have a totally different pic...

definitely looks like a kkk robe

what complete twit didn't see it when they were designing it

Actually, let me rephrase, none of it offends me, I'm just surprised, following the bollocking they got for their "mental patient" outfit at Halloween, that no one at all during design and production said "hang on a second, do you know what this looks like?"

All of those macs have sticky uppy hoods.

People look daft in them, but it rains so much here that no one cares.

I don't think many people are going to think the KKK have sprung up at every English fixtures.

See the front angle?

He just looks like a twat in a badly fitting cagoule

I thought KKK as soon as I saw it

Same here Nice, I didn't need to read the article to guess what the issue was going to be.

Its a flag with a hood to me, nothing more nothing less.

And worra, it's a pointed white hood from every angle.

It bring the kkk to mind. Yarbu.

Sorry should say yanbu

I thought it looked like the KKK hood before reading the article too.

What an unfortunate design, I'm sure it was unintentional but still...

I didn't even think of KKK when I saw it, just that it's fairly crappy.

And worra, it's a pointed white hood from every angle.

Yeah so what though?

If a few people look at a pointed white hood (which won't be pointed any more when it rains) and they think KKK even though they can clearly see it's an England flag, that's not really ASDA's problem.
