Woke change to England flag.

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.

We certainly get visits from people who are bigoted against women who stand up for women.

As far as I can make out this board is full of bigots so it fits nicely.

I am certainly not a Bigot and I doubt you consider yourself one either so not everyone here has the same agenda.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 22/03/2024 11:13

I can't see what the point is. It's not the trans colours. It all seems silly from all sides. But imagine if some corporate "playfully" changed the trans flag, that would be amusing.

Myalternate · 22/03/2024 11:16

Bigots? 🤣

Someone who is not tolerant of others having different beliefs…

Alwaysgoingforit · 22/03/2024 11:31

Woke just needs to fuck right off. I will never observe ANYTHING under that guise.

oneinamillieon · 22/03/2024 11:32

it's really not that serious babes.

Combattingthemoaners · 22/03/2024 11:47

I can’t find anywhere where Nike have said this is in support of Trans or the LGBTQ+ community? Rather it seems people have realised it’s a different colour and have attached their own connotations in an attempt to engage in yet more culture wars.

The word “woke” needs to be banned! It’s what thick people describe everyone or anything they don’t agree with.

Yup, it's draig goch, not drag cock.

I'll see myself out...

'A playful update to the flag of St George appears on the collar to unite and inspire.'

Huh? How? The colours are not recognisable as representing anything, that's why we're all having to guess. It is a strange thing to do. Seems a risky business decision. I'm not into football, but I'm not surprised to hear fans don't like it.

You could change the name of this board to “the Daily Mail Political Correctness Gorn Maaad!” board, and most of the posts would still be on topic. It doesn’t have much to do with feminism or women’s rights any more, and hasn’t for about 5 years.

This section of the feminist board is about single sex spaces and sports

Who do you think is impacted by that?

And you have the other section, which posters wanted because they were annoyed, basically people moan but can’t seem to use other areas

MintDreamer · 22/03/2024 12:07

Looked up Georgia's kit for obvious reasons and it seems traditional still?Though admittedly I don't know how a kit should look.

'The cross from the Georgian national flag is repeated via tonal prints on all three jerseys. An image of a horseman slaying a dragon from the European country’s coat of arms is used as the kits’ crest. It is also placed on the outside upper backs of the shirts.'

Except when it's about adverts for beer, music videos, flags people don't like, Pride, drag queens, shops selling gender neutral clothing, and taking the piss out of various transgender or non binary people.

Well yeh it’s gender related

The clue is in the name

Posters who complained and demanded FWR was split got what they were after

There is a section you can use for feminism chat

Much better graphic design!

Clean, uncluttered, minimalist but still recognisable.

Like a St George’s flag designed by Muji.

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

Hear hear!

And also apparently about Nike changing the design of a football shirt, and anything else GBNews deems “woke”.

oneinamillieon · 22/03/2024 12:17

are you kidding me? that's the tiniest cross i have ever seen and not even trans colours.
there are bigger issues, it's really not that deep.

Lots of unfashionable stuff gets diverted over here by MN, so it’s easier just to post it here go start with.

Luckily for you all us horrid auld terves are here on the Sex and Gender naughty step, so it’s easy for you to avoid us.

And posters who hang around to say it’s ‘not feminism’ on this board, why is that? Because males in female sports doesn’t affect women, for some reason..

In any case there’s two parts to FWR and it’s easy to use one over the other

whey did they bother then?

LoveandMoney · 22/03/2024 12:25

OffToBedforshire · 22/03/2024 09:21

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

Ditto

oldwhyno · 22/03/2024 12:26

Whatever it is, an attempt "to unite and inspire" has turned into "to divide and alienate". That's a fail.

but the English flag is a red cross on a white background. A sportswear company doesn't have the right to change the colours and then tell us that's our flag. They can put a multicoloured cross in there if they want, but they can't call it the England flag.

It has to do with "Trans" because the company, Nike, told us it has.
