Kits 23/24

[The Man With A Stick]

My main issue with flags is when idiots feel the need to have "ENGLAND" printed across them.  Surely the whole concept of a flag makes the need to write the name of the country over it redundant?

You never see it with other countries, which I think says a lot.

I like the new blue England kit, particularly with the claret and blue trim.  I won't buy it.

I’ll hazard a guess that there will be 17,000 others who won’t either 😂

[Sexual Ealing]

Yes.

Really? You'd just let them take the club off you?

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't be able to stop them.

I might rue the day, but what's wrong with calling it the Union Jack? The 'only at sea' thing isn't true is it?

I call it the Union Jack on purpose just to trigger people. The same way that Robbo1874 in Brisbane deliberately refers to Koala “Bears” just to annoy the Aussies who all jump in to correct him. Childish but satisfying

I love the Notts Forest thing, knowing that every time someone calls them Notts Forest, a whole load of them get triggered.

Exactly! It’s funny to do it.

Unlike people who refer to “City” or “United”, they’re arseholes to me.

Especially if you're from a city where there is a club with that name.

Man City were literally never referred to as City by anyone not from Manchester before they got taken over in 2008. Only when they bought their way higher and higher up the league and further into prominence did that start to become a thing the rest of the country did. So now we have people referring to them as 'City' as if it's the old club down the road they've always been aware of.

Annoys me.

The new England kits are on the official Nike website.

https://www.nike.com/gb/w?q=England&vst=England

£85 a shirt.

You might be thinking, just get the replica and not the player shirts.

That is for the replica.

The player shirt is £125.

I've mentioned this before, but whenever anyone mentions United or City, my dad's mate goes in to a long diatribe about how he used to support United but prefers City now, calling United all the names under the sun - about how they're his big commercial entity and so on, chairman doesn't care about the fans, etc etc - before announcing that the only team he hates more than United is Town.  Then asks what they think about some Oxford United / Oxford City related matter (Town is, of course, Swindon Town - who he hates with a passion).

He doesn't actually hate Oxford United though, he just adds that for comic effect.  Still goes to watch them occasionally, if Oxford City aren't playing.

The BBC news did it last night when reporting on the points deduction, and it made me laugh.
I don't know many Notts Forest supporters, but if/when i do come across a Notts Forest supporter, i will definitely call them Notts Forest on purpose, just to see what happens.

I read, probably on here, that Manchester United fans do not like them referred to as ManYoo, so I've proceeded to call them that to acquaintances of mine that follow them. So far nothing but God loves a trier. I will persevere.

My Devon & Brummie Red mates hate it.

They know fuck all reason why though.

I once upset a Small Heath fan for continuing to call Small Heath, Small Heath, into the wee hours while we drank together...

He got angrier & angrier across the night.

It was hilarious.

[London Villan]

Never just united or city, always man u and man city.

[Proposition Joe]

Never just united or city, always man u and man city.

Indeed, everyone knows simply "City" and "United" means Lincoln City and Lincoln United.

[Chico Hamilton III]

The bastardised St George’s cross on the back of the new Nike England shirt is having the desired effect. Lovely stuff!

[London Villan]

Not sure what the uproar is about… we had green, blue and purple flags on the 2010 kit….

[Hookeysmith]

I wonder if Nike will instruct their child labour sweatshops to change the National flag colours of nations such as

Saudi Arabia
USA
China
Russia
France
In fact any other nation would be up in arms about it and quite rightly too.


Whilst they are at it lets have a green Welsh flag, an Orange Irish flag, a Green Scottish flag

Uneccessary conflict to sell a few shit shirts, working on the basis that no PR is bad PR - wankers and after their insistence to not create an Earps shirt they should be boycotted.

[Lastfootstamper]

I've had a look on their website, and I can't seem to find another nation who've bothered putting a tiny flag on the back of the collar.

[Simon Page]

I've consulted the finest online minds and it's clearly a ploy to get the Tories reelected.

Nike is known to be an evil, capitalist, human-hating, money-grubbing, lying, cheating, corrupt, murderous and loathsome entity (allegedly). How to get its unpopular political arm back on side and encourage angry people to scrawl an X for King and Blighty? Do a woke, get the vote.

Bloody geniuses these fabric fascists. Don't fall for it sheeple.

[Bad English]

The new France kit is out and we have changed the shade of blue so all is well.

Just seen the launch price. €99.99 (NINETY-NINE EUROS* AND NINETY-NINE CENTS)

*Or EURO if you prefer.
