Woke change to England flag.

[Careforcarers]

Surely flags are flags but no Nike did a 'playful update' adding trans colours to the England football kit.

Imagine changing the flag of others countries!

What is it with companies like Nike that they have to push trans down everyone's throats.

Well, it's no longer our flag is it?

Not sure how that design change has anything to do with "Trans" and I do usually notice these things.
I like it, I think its nice to play with colours and designs of traditional things and your use of the word "woke" makes me inclined to disagree with you on principle

It was on BBC news too just now

What are “trans colours”? Didn’t know there were such things. Don’t suppose most people do.

Even Keir...

You don't alter a country's flag. That's shocking. They clearly don't understand what their customers want.

I totally agree.
As soon as anyone used the word 'woke' to criticise something, I've checked out.

God, is this a flag shagger thread? It's just a fucking flag.

I know he thinks the standard England flag should be used for the team. Apparently Nike think the colours are a 'unifier'.

Imagine changing the Stars and Stripes colours or the Ireland Flag or other countries.

Its a piece of material thats all. Lets not get hysterical about a piece of material or we will end up saluting it every morning in school like soem places is The US do.
I dislike DM and everything they stand for but I really dont get the drama over a flag

It's just a weird thing to do. It's weirder to suggest it was a nod to the 1966 training kit as it doesn't seem to have much of a connection. I don't think it's a 'woke' change though. It's just odd

Yes it's strange of them to do it.

Thin end of the wedge, Political Correctness gone mad etc etc etc

What's this got to do with FWR?

Indeed. Even Nike said its to 'unite snd inspire'.

They've desecrated the flag. In certain-adjacent colours. We can all see it.

I don't see trans colours. I see navy, light blue and purple, and on the vertical line, red and pink.

Trans colours are pale pink, pale blue and white I believe.

Tbf, the England flag is about as unwoke an item as you can get in the modern age, given it derives directly from the flags of the Crusaders at Acre. I'd be fine with the whole thing changing to another colour (though I'd probably select colours that represented something about the country as a whole, like blue for the sea around it etc)

Get more angry about 125 quid. For a T shirt!

Your average footie lad is not going to like this!

Quite! I can’t see what this has to do with sex and gender
