This is absolutely outrageous. How dare they change the colour of our flag. I’m going to boycott the Euro’s in protest and just watch the Olympic Games this summer…



It’s amazing how all the right wing rags that are crying over the England shirt pretty much all described the 2012 Olympic kit design as “a modern twist” and were all positive about it.

Surely if you change the colours of a flag then it no longer represents the country it was designed for?

The shirt is a rip. off and would never buy one. However I have four town shirts in stripes, red, blue , and a orange type  from a few years back.

I do have a Denmark official shirt which cost me peanuts compared to our prices which I wear when England are not playing.  

My wife is half Danish and my niece has played for Denmark under 21. So I wear it with pride.

The cross on the England shirt has nothing to do with England. Cut the collar off I don't like collars. anyway.

Did someone from the FA. Agree to this if so wants sacking.

Not for me, I will continue to wear my 1966 World Cup official replica red shirt. Only had it 40 years.

Does it still fit after 40 years?

Don't worry, there's a cheap version and that's only 85 quid.

Crikey !! Even that's expensive.

For those that disagree with me, if you change the colours of the French flag from blue, white and red to green, yellow and red ( still 3 vertical stripes) then is it still the tricolor of France?

If they did that to the French flag they would take to the streets burning tyres and rioting!

If you change the football to a football-sized flump then is it still a football? Who are we to say, only god can judge.

Don't make shirts like they used to.
