So you're telling me that a little item on the back of the neck, which should be red but is not completely red, is an "abomination"?

Let's cancel the World Cup...

Explain it to me like I'm 5.

What?

I believe that he is implying that The **** and The Big *** Agenda have co-opted the St. Andrews Cross by making it multi-colored instead of all-red.

Let's cancel the ACC.

*George.

Andrew is Scotland.

 

[OldhamA]

What?

Imagine if the stripes were randomly rainbow coloured on the Olympic uniforms. You'd go and grab your musket.

Color me shocked. Better than this.

I get where u’re coming from, but this literally not a rainbow flag.

I see a lot of conservatives up in arms about this, assuming that this is Nike’s attempt to bring “woke culture” on to them.

This was the idea behind the flag:

A Nike spokesperson told media outlets: "The England 2024 Home kit disrupts history with a modern take on a classic.
"The trim on the cuffs takes its cues from the training gear worn by England's 1966 heroes, with a gradient of blues and reds topped with purple. The same colours also feature an interpretation of the flag of St George on the back of the collar."

So I definitely get where u’re coming from; I’m not a fan of altering flag, but how’s it’s been presented is incorrect.

You didn't let me down.

 

[Rellyrell]

Nah, like I said I get what u’re saying, but ppl r saying it’s a *** flag, which it’s not. I, personally, would’ve advised don’t touch any country’s flag, no matter what the spirit or thought process is.

my guy, germany went into an all-out-rage because our national teams away units are pink. "how dare they", "its all woke", "legends would never agree with this"

the jersey is breaking sales numbers and the media campaign was widely celebrated. and iirc correctly, the new england jerseys are getting sold out more and more.

it's literally about selling jerseys. that's just it. people need to stop digging so deep for everything. not every release from a brand has deeper political meaning behind it, sometimes its the plain "the majority likes this, so we're gonna do this to make money"

(and then the dfb decided to accept a nike proposal that nets them over half a billion euros in seven years)

You're kidding, right?

First, while I have been annoyed at the stretched U, I haven't called it an abomination.

Second, the stretched U is a multi-year design defect that should have been corrected by now, not a one-time stylistic choice.

Carry on, though.

I would have cared more 300 years ago.

You mean like this:

Or even this combo platter:

Yeah, I've learned to live with it, without running for my "musket".
