Quoted from GrimPol


I know lets have new Grimsby shirts, you know the ones Green with yellow dots, with a Scunny logo on the left and Lincoln on the right. Great


But….genius……..it has nothing to do with the dog whistle ‘woke’ concept (whatever that is). This is Nike getting cocky.
Messing with a national flag and charging £120. In the grand scheme of life, it’s not important is it. If you watch GB News, it’s the end of f***ing days.

I do think it's disrespectful, but somebody (or a group of people) at the FA signed off on this or potentially even proposed it. Everyone is talking about it though, and maybe that was part of the Nike marketing strategy all along?

Quoted from Yarborough Vaults
I think we can all remember the fury when that self-important designer decided to fiddle with our badge and the club served it up done and dusted.

People take tradition seriously and rightly so.

Perhaps Nike could 'playfully' alter the Palestinian flag and see how that's received.


There would be car bombings in Oregon , the worst we’ll see over this is some heavy tutting

To those getting irate about this one way or the other, chill out it doesn't really matter. You may then enjoy life just a little bit more.

I am a massive England fan and consider myself hugely patriotic, but this his a non-story to me. Minor stuff.

Go on, spell out really clearly why you’re so cross.


Saw what you did there.

At least it had the St Georges cross not St Wokes.


Please explain to me why the blue, red and purplish cross is woke.

Dog whistle, ha ha ha straight from the The Idiots Guide of Lefty Woke Phrases book.

The FA made the decision thinking it was cool, not understanding that Nike are just laughing at the English.

Pity that the 3 Lions weren't changed for Chickens.
