It is all part of the woke agenda to destroy traditions and national heritage.. Tear down statues, rename streets, change St George's Cross so it is not recognisable.

Symbols tie us down to the old worn out traditions of the past, and are to best swept aside for a new Diverse Inclusive and Equal (DIE) society.

This is the way of the new world order. Destroy identity... no more male and female... you will own nothing and be happy.

Eats ze bugz.

Actually I like the new flag, just like the pride flag, the pride 50p, the pride football laces, the rainbow captains armbands, it will help to remind us that we are moving into a new brave world, where we will be lovingly cared for by the benevolent leaders at the World Economic forum.

Nike say that the colours are from the 66 track suit collars and cuffs. Lol.

That is not a St. George cross.

Anyway that shirt is £125.00 they can keep it.

The away kit is quite classy although not to everyone’s taste regarding the colours - which do complement each other nevertheless.

Edit: hang on, I’ve just seen the full jersey for the first time, not too keen on the design down the sides.

A Nike spokesperson told media outlets: "The England 2024 Home kit disrupts history with a modern take on a classic.

It is part of our woke agenda... and a statement against the colonialistic facsist running dogs, who are racist and cling to the lost dream that the sun never sets on the British Empire.

Empty the British museum of all the antiquities stolen from foreign lands. Monetary repatriations now. The real Saint George's flag is a symbol of repression and anyone calling for it to be reinstated is denying diversity and inclusion as the way forward for any nation that aspires to the high ideals of the WEF... and they deserve to be incarcerated in the tower of London until they mend their ways and become enlightened.

It is an outrage that the flag of St George should be defiled in such a manner. If it has adorned the ships of the Royal Navy as the Royal Ensign from time immemorial, it is a disgrace that it should be abused and misused in this way.

Blistering barnacles the blighter responsible for this should be keel hauled, lashed to the mast and given a good old flogging, and have his rum rations cut in half.

It is pointless having the flag on if it isn't symbolic. So either have the proper flag or don't have a flag. If you want to do some weird thing then do some weird thing but don't have it as a flag.

Personally find it crazy that anyone would pay that sort of money to buy a poxy shirt. Last Leeds shirt I bought was the one 8 years ago, the Kappa design that had no sponsor logo on it. I really liked the fact that it was different in a good way, a more traditional looking shirt. Most of the shirts these day are so generic that you could simply swap the badge, change the colour and half a dozen other clubs in this country would have exactly the same basic shirt. Why pay a fortune for that?

Society is already pretty close to breaking down so why not remove the last vestiges of unity we have. we can all have a play around with the flag and have different marauding factions ruling the country, oh just imagine how harmonious and peaceful it would be.

Society is breaking down because global capitalism is failing. Looking back to an idealised nationalist past is not the answer either.

Umbro should bring out a cheaper, classic rival design based on the 66 shirt and clean up.

Oh absolutely who the hell wants to go back to those days, communities, national pride, decency, respect and low crime rates, err yuck pass me the sick bucket. Give me them sun lit uplands I hear about, more division, more envy, more violent crimes and perpetual self-flagellation for how bloody evil we all are - it really is an idyllic notion.

Was Gary Lineker a consultant?


Imagine if they changed all other countries emblems or is it only us that drives this nonsensical narrative.

It's the England national team playing other international countries of Europe at football.

We don't need to change our history to placate others, mainly our own English woke virtue signallers.

Africa should be suing us for stealing their Lions.

I saw the players looking at the new kit , I don't think it dawned on them in the slightest about this flag ....is it or isn't it . The gap in generations and the realizations of our traditions etc...it's a yawning chasm between them and us . I would like to hear Matt Le Tissiers take on it .
