Vote with your wallet, don't buy it.
It will still make enough money. They know a proportion of people will boycott but it won’t be enough to matter
People will still buy it unfortunately sick of Nike I thought blending out the star was disrespectful but this 😂
Most of us are over the age of 10 so we don't wear England shirts anymore
I agree, don't buy it and Nike will lose a bunch of money.
I'd rather buy a retro England shirt than contribute to this.
I'm Italian, I'm sorry for my England friends, thankfully my country is waking up and fighting against wrecking culture
Wrecking culture? What are you talking about?

It's deliberate and pernicious. They know what they're doing. And it's time the public respond accordingly.

Why can England never be allowed to celebrate our culture?
If you dampen national pride, it's a lot easier to water down that culture, has been a great effort to this end for a long while now.
Because we're being subverted by enemies abroad and within.

I’m an Irish man so I’m not an England fan at all in no shape or form but the English should boycott this jersey. More and more these big multinational corporations are trying break down and destroy western culture. Money talks and if the English boycott this jersey then it sends a clear message to Nike that they cannot make these changes to the England jersey without consequences
I’m an Englishman and I love this jersey with all my heart. I’m buying one and buying one for my 4 kids. Snowflakes like you won’t stop me , stop being offended all the time
What do you think is worse , the multinational company putting a small flag on the English jersey or the impact on Ireland of 800 years occupation by the English ?

This is spectacularly embarrassing. I’m an American who visits England often, I’m also a supporter of the country and of course a huge fan of English football. The outrage and anger would be deafening had Nike done the same with the USA team kit.
That will be next!!!!
That's their next agenda. They're experimenting here like they always do in UK and EU's markets. We all know that's the rainbow color in disguise form. If they can get away with it in UK, i would not be surprised if the US kit would have the same in World Cup 2026, especially if the biden administration won the election.
😎👍
Just you wait. Gotta stop watching mainstream media pal
That’s bigger than Nike
Love him or hate him. Simon is talking facts on this one
A bloke said to me recently do I consider myself British or English. I replied "English of course"...
I said " And you?"
"British".. He replied he went on to share how being English was perhaps a view of being far right in your views in today's world.
It's such a sorry state of affairs that being English is perceived by some that it's almost something to be ashamed of.
I'm English and proud 🏴
what precisely are you proud of?
I concur wholeheartedly! We are always lumped in with GB; England has no parliament... Wales, Scotland and Ireland have their own but ours is the British parliament. Equal Opps forms list everyone but not English. There are 4 countries in GB but England has no identity separate from Britain. It annoys the f*** out of me!
@@rkbrown2092 GB is 3 countries, poppet. 🤦🏻♂️
So they have broken us into another divided population, Patriots ( alleged far right) and TRAITORS (the extremist radicalised left).
@@rkbrown2092 Ireland isnt in Britian, its only the mainland and its nearby Isles. you confuse the GB and UK. Britain (mainland only) isn't even the same as the British Isles (Mainland and Jersey Guernsey Orkneys Outer Hebrides Shetlands etc etc), two different areas. England Scotland Wales in Britain, add Northern Ireland for the UK. England and Wales formed Britain and when Scotland joined, it was then titled Great Britain, as in greater/bigger Britain.
Utter disgrace

The point is propaganda. Its in our movies, tv shows, music, advertisement, schools, and now our sports. They force it infront of you at every opportunity to try and force you to accept it.
Proud Welsh man here. What is happening in this country of ours is absolutely absurd it is being erioed right in front of our noses and this small little change to the England shirt is yet another attack on our once great country/union. The Welsh FA would never do what the English FA have done the public would be absolutely outraged it ever happened. We activley promote Wales through our football and England should be doing the same.
Its a Budweiser. Light all over again. Boycott them. Absolutely disgusting

It's a shame. The home shirt otherwise looks great and I was eager to get my hands on it. No more. Modifying a country's flag for your own "woke" agenda is a disgrace. 🏴

Just stop it. 🫸
BOYCOTT!!!! It's not enough that we let everyone into the country- now we have to sacrifice EVERYTHING to appease them!
This is Nanny Southgate's doing :)
That’s not the England flag 🏴 therefore it’s not an England shirt
By that logic practically every England home shirt hasn't been an England shirt, as only 1 or 2 have ever had the George's cross on it
@@garrahyc you don't need an england flag on an england shirt, the 3 lions are enough for that, his pound us clear, that if you put a flag that isn't St georges flag on a shirt, then that makes it not an english shirt. If you're going to put st georges flag on anything, use the actual flag. Don't change a countries flag its that simple. There is no need for it whatsoever
@@garrahyc they didnt have a different flag on it though.
@@chrimbus71 2010 shirt had different coloured George's crosses on it. Nobody cared.
@@garrahyc nobody cared - yet you remember the year. its not the st georges cross with different colours. may as well put a rainbow or the nike logo or gary linekers head if it doesnt matter.
The new kit is £80! They can keep it

£124 actually! It’s an absolute joke
Wow £124. Wtf!
£124 that's just for the shirt 👕 Boycott nike
£124 for that shirt is disgusting!
As an American, I find it funny how some fellow Americans and football fans are saying England is overreacting to this. Reverse the roles. Change the colors on the American flag, and then watch that meltdown unfold. We are so soft half our country can't handle people kneeling during the anthem. This was a dumb idea by Nike, and changing that little flag on the collar actually is going to cost them a ton of money too. Vote with your wallet, its a pretty average kit design anyways. Umbro always made the most iconic England kits man.
Total disgrace. F. A should cancel the Nike contract .
Well they obviously not going to do that
The FA approved it not like Nike just launched without approval
They won't because they're involved in all this nonsense
The F.A. Will do FA.
The FA agreed to it
In an era when it seems like people are trying to ban and frown upon the st George's flag and even the Great British flag, this is an unbelievably stupid move. Looks like sly pandering.
If this hadn't have become a big topic, next time rather than a few mixed colours it would have been the "rainbow" colours. This was just testing the waters and to force gradual acceptance.
They’re not pandering, they’re part of the cabal pushing the agendas
Pandering to what?
@@footballsoccerx2021 you need me to spell this out for you, or are you just looking to argue for the sake of it or what?
@@footballsoccerx2021Ethnic minorities.
by changing the colours, the England flag simply isn't present on the shirt. That in itself is fine, but why put a multi-coloured cross, which represents absolutely nothing, in its place? It's a ridiculous decision. They may as well have put a picture of a bowl of custard.
However, making the statement that they have chosen to 'update' the flag is undoubtedly disrespectful.
Sign of the times, we're being fed with so much brainwashing and political programming on so many levels compared to 10-20 years ago. Subtle but it's 1984 esque
This is disgusting. This country has become ridiculous. Look what we have become. Everyone get down to Whitehall 3pm on St George’s Day. We need to show solidarity against this nonsense 🏴
This will never happen, mate... we're dangerously divided 😔
Remember when UKIP used to use a purple union jack in their promo material? The loyalists never gave a F then. 🤷♂🤷♂
That isn't a St. George's flag, therefor it isn't an England shirt, or course they can do a U-Turn, they did one for moaning Mary Earps
I wont be buying it. Scandalous
They changed it for Mary Earps because they saw a cash cow.
Why can't people just leave things alone these days.
People are so bad at understanding “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Everyone always needs to tinker in everything.
Because there communists who like to socially engineer and trample all under foot.
I bet your kids think that about you
Whoever signed this off at that F.A should be out of a job!
I'm saying this as an Irishman, Simon is spot on.
Wtf. An American company changes our flag?
The FA gave Nike a brief and signed-off on the kit. Nike did as they were told.
This fact makes the change worse, imo
They just following orders from English pay masters.
lol your English FA wanted it
Greatest is athletic apparel company in the world. This shirt was probably designed in England.
When they said they wanted to put pride back in the shirt, this isn’t what we expected
Its not an England kit anymore.
Defacing a countries flag is disgusting and them colours look very simular to the alphabet unicorn them/there/it flag
Buy a retro Admiral one instead.
Who the hell are Nike to change the English flag on the shirt and why have the FA approved it
Don’t understand why an English company can’t design and manufacture an England kit and at the same time make it cheaper for children
I'm disgusted that Nike think they can deface our national flag. If I was an England footballer I'd refuse to wear it
I look forward to seeing the "playful updates" to the Saudi, China and Nigeria kits.
China kit would have at least 200million notches on. The number the communist party KILLED.
As for Nigeria, Christmas Tree celebrating there annual Hunt of Christians.
It's a disgrace, also the £130 cost. Don't buy it.
The type of people who say get over it would be so fast to get upset on behalf of any other nation

The FA, the England Team management should hold their heads in shame. If England players wear this then they are just as bad.
I’d like to know what plans Nike have to do playful interpretations of the Nigerian, Polish, French, Dutch flags or any other countries flag
What a load of shait it is just offensive to England and it's history why is it wrong nowadays to be proud of your own country ?
I am surprised they don't make them wear sports bras. Nike have a history of this nonsense.
i'm surprised you can breathe and type at the same time, brain donor.
Don't buy the kit and boycott England games until the English St George flag is reinstated on the kit, the Nike contract is terminated and the entire FA executive resign.
Older American here. I have a long history of purchasing school / team uniforms from major uniform manufactures. Before a manufacturer makes a set of jerseys / uniforms someone, on the purchasing side, has to sign-off on every detail of the layout / logos, etc. before the uniforms are actually produced. I don't believe that uniform manufacturers like Nike just come up with their own designs. Why isn't anyone concerned with this issue trying to track down who actually approved the layout / design change?
Ask any professional graphic designer working for a sign or clothing manufacturer, one of the cardinal rules is that you never alter any part of a team logo or governmental seal, emblem or trademarked design or insignia & that all designs are approved, by the customer, before manufacturing. Again, who approved the modifications to the cross?
dont buy it simple!
Sums up the state of affairs generally.
yeah true a bunch of snowflakes crying about the color of their flag, it's pretty pathetic I agree
@matthewm3869 I'd expect any other nationality to be pissed off about their flags being changed.
My god you didn’t even have your flag on the jersey until a few years ago ya didn’t even notice ffs
@@tevildo45The only flag should be an england flag. Otherwise its not an england shirt. Pretty basic really
Crazy part is somebody at the FA would still have had to sign off on it and say "yeah that's fine"
