Quoted from Plankton
I think anyone that's upset about the flag being in different colours is a sensitive baby, what some would call a 'snowflake'.

Looks smart, if you don't fancy it, don't buy it. Simple as.


I’m not “upset” by it, I definitely don’t like it and won’t be buying it.
Am I not entitled to my view now. Should I just keep quiet and not buy the shirt.
Very easy to use throw away phrases about like “snowflakes” when somebody doesn’t agree with you. Perhaps I’m just not as woke as you are, I don’t like traditional things being changed for certain communities. Guess I was a snowflake too when I got fed up with the kneeling before every game.  If the players want to represent the LGBTQ+ or bisexual community, good for them, let them wear an armband, but they should keep it off the flag.

Would you feel the same if a shirt manufacture, with the agreement of our club, changed the colours of our club badge? You only have to look back to the fans reaction on here when the owners tweeked our badge to see how it mattered to a lot of fans.

Whilst I couldn't give a flying intercourse about the colour of a cross that represents a Greek chap from many hundreds of years ago, I understand why people do.

Patriotism is fairly low in this country hence my and many other's reactions. But if Nike did this in America,  France and many other countries, there'd be national uproar. A national symbol is important and shouldn't be messed with any more than a new owner should come in and change a club's name or badge.

What community is represented by a blue, red and purple (ish) flag?

None but it is being used to replace the red and white flag that represents the combined communities that make up England.

The bisexual flag is those colours, but that's not what we're going for, just a coincidence.

My 3 year old is obsessed with drawing rainbows that are basically rectangular. I'm not accusing her of being woke because it's a coincidence. And also rainbows are cool, the gay community aren't having exclusivity to them.

Yep, I’ve said elsewhere that I dislike it but that’s because I’m a traditionalist and history buff. I see the new version as a logo, not a flag.
