Controversy Surrounds Nike’s Redesign of England Soccer Kit

Nike revealed the revamped England soccer kits for the upcoming European Championships, notably altering the iconic St George’s Cross.

The replacement of the red cross with a multicolored design has stirred backlash from patriotic fans.

The new design incorporates navy blue, light blue, and pink into the cross, diverging from the classic red. Nike described it as a “playful update” to celebrate football heroes with a modern twist, but many criticize it as overly woke.

Fans argue the redesign dilutes the country’s heritage, expressing disapproval of Nike and the team’s decision. Initially anticipated, the announcement sparked further potential boycotts due to the alteration, particularly to the cross on the collar.
