The FA has refused to recall the England football kit featuring an altered St George’s cross
Comedian Josh Howie has been left fuming after Nike revealed it had altered the St Georges cross on football shirts using purple and blue horizontal stripes.
The sporting giant called a “playful update” to the shirt ahead of Euro 2024 and said the colours were inspired by the training kit worn by England’s 1966 World Cup winners.
On GB News Headliners Dixon said: "There is an argument but it is pretty tenuous, to me they are just messing around. We have our backs up these days, we are on the alert for anything woke.
Host Josh Howie explained: "This was designed two years ago when it was peak woke."
Dixon added: "Exactly, it looks very woke. It is a changing of the St Georges cross to look blue and red, I suspect it's actually what they're selling now, so they don't want to change it. It would take them months to change it back.
"So they're saying it's an interpretation of the flag. It's a defilement of our flag. This is why I can't watch football anymore. I've had enough. This is my flag."
