Arrr, those landlubber politicians be squawkin' about Nike's fancy new shirts for England's soccer crew! Methinks they be actin' like scurvy dogs over a mere change o' fabric. Let the lads play, I say, and worry not about their garb! Arrr!
Arrr mateys, the scallywags over in England be havin' a right fit over Nike's new soccer uniforms for the 2024 national team. They be callin' them "woke" and givin' them the ol' stink eye on social media. The main bone o' contention be the St. George's Cross, which Nike decided to give a "playful twist."Instead o' the usual red cross on a white background, Nike added a vertical stripe in black, blue, and purple. The Daily Express got some politicians to weigh in, with one callin' it "virtue signaling nonsense" and threatenin' to hop on a flight to Rwanda.Conservative MP Brendan Clarke-Smith had a go, sayin' it looked more like "three lines on a shirt" than the traditional flag. Others criticized the road jerseys for bein' purple with fancy "graphic side panels." Nigel Farage called it all a joke.But in the end, as Marcus Rashford said, it be the results on the pitch that matter, not the fancy duds. So let's see if these newfangled uniforms be bringin' England any luck in the European Football Championship this June. Arrr!
