I couldn’t really give a stuff to be honest, and the outcry is way over the top.
Today I’ve seen pictures of a 2011 ? England shirt that had loads of tiny St George crosses on the shoulders, all in different colours, and that was years before any ‘rainbow initiative’ ….but without the image, I’d never have remembered it and I certainly don’t recall anyone raising the roof over it
Two things that are worth considering are the £120 price tag …that IS outrageous……..the other thing is Nike’s arrogance …imagine a UK firm,Umbro or Castore winning a contract to supply USA International sportswear and them changing the stripes on the US flag to pink and grey or yellow and purple or whatever (‘playfully’ obvs) …they’d have been kicked out the door ‘tout de suite’
All that said someone (or several) at the FA must have ok’d it ,,,I expect they’ve got a sweat on at present
