England Euro 2024 kit

The Brazil situation is completely different though. There's is taking a shape associated with the flag and matching it to the accent colour which is green, a colour in their flag. It's not the exact green but its still a national colour.

In this situation it's not taking the accent colour or the main colour. It's a mosaic of colours some which are no where near either colours in the flag or national colours (and happen to be the colours of the gender fluid flag).

 

I think I've said here I don't have a problem with using a cross as part of the design if it's just making a nod to the flag while pulling in the accent colour of the shirt like the keeper one does. In the current one though it doesn't do that, if they had gone with a single colour cross if one of the accent colours then fine, I can understand the design choice behind that (although one of the colours is red so why it's not red though is ridiculous). It's however not a solid colour cross so loses that nod to the flag, with multiple colours on each arm of the cross and with some of those colours not matching the accent colours it's a farce. And it's repeated on the away kit which doesn't even have most of these colours in it.


On the bottom example, I've not been able to find a good image of the full shirt but that's equally as stupid as it's again not pulling accent colours, seems they made them so small though that you can't see them normally which is probably why the lack of outrage (plus it's still an obvious nod to the flag as they are solid colour crosses)

Again this is clearly a situation that two years ago they made the decision to push a diversity message, have now got cold feet and are trying to spin a ridiculous 'its a homage to 66' line that makes no sense Atleast Adidas with Germany's away kit haven't bottled it, it's also getting criticism but they haven't tried to claim it's not a diversity message by claiming it's attribute to the 1990 world cup team or the likes

 

So what is the colours of the cross for? It's not a tribute to 66 because that has no purple on the 66 training kit and only 1 shade of blue and red ( and if you buy that it is you are a complete and utter fool). It's not pulling in the accent colours as there are more colours there than the accent colours and the flag unlike some others such as Brazil doesn't change per kit.

And people have an issue with things like this because it's another example of companies pandering to the militant lgbtqia+ extremists and pushing of extreme views (and just to be clear I'm not saying lgbtqia+ rights are extreme but many of these far left groups are pushing ideologies beyond that, things which remove others rights, damage young people who are still trying to work out who they are, damage those with mental health issues, even damage other sub groups in the lgbtqia+ grouping etc etc. Things that make society worse not better. For example we have lesbians being told they have to date trans people, both trans men and trans women, including non-transistioned trans women or they are trabsphobic. And where we have to call people they/them or even things like Tree because they reject gender norms even though acting like they are a different gender just reinforces gender norms instead of breaking them down)
