Supporters outraged by small detail
Nike and the Football Association have said there are no plans to recall England's Euro 2024 kits after fans complained about a detail.
England launched their new kit earlier this week and after an initial backlash over the price, fans also lost their minds over what was on the back.
Instead of the usual traditional red cross, Nike has replaced it with a “playful update” in navy, light blue and purple.
This led to people labeling the kit “woke”, with even Keir Starmer chiming in: “This flag is what everyone uses, it's a unity and it doesn't need to change.”
However, Nike said they would not change or recall the jersey, which “sold out” in its first week on sale.
A spokesman said: “The England 2024 home jersey is a modern take on a classic that turns history on its head. The trim on the cuffs is inspired by the training kit worn by England's heroes in 1966, with a gradient of blue and red, topped with purple. The same color also features an interpretation of the flag of St. George on the back of the collar.
The FA has also backed Nike and given the American manufacturer its full support.
Industry experts also said that even if they made a new kit, it would take about six to nine months to complete the design.
