There should be a massive online petition to boycott Nike after this … although there’s a suggestion that the idea was at the behest of the fecking FA.

Cool

Nike have released a playful update of the Palestine flag.

Not to be worn on rooftops.

This might be one of the most sublime trolling examples I've ever seen. They turned the Skinhead Flag into a gay symbol and put it on England football strips. It's ****ing inspirational stuff . I'm away to campaign to get a wee picture of the pope on the Rangers sleeve.

"Englishness is targetted" this is swiftly becoming a parody of itself.

The FA would have signed off on this, not sure why NIKE are being targetted

its a bit weird, a flag is a flag, not sure why a 'playful twist' is required, I can't imagine any other flag anywhere being changed like this, I appreciate it could be done for a specific target audience but for the whole kit...nah...the English are a laughing stock at times
