Fans are fuming over Nike's 'woke' twist on the England home kit flag. Will the controversy affect Euro 2024?

The recent unveiling of England's new kit by Nike has stirred up a storm of controversy among fans and critics alike. The 'playful update' to the traditional St. George's Cross on the shirt has faced heavy criticism, with figures like Lee Anderson, Nigel Farage, and ex-Three Lions striker Chris Sutton expressing their displeasure. Despite calls to ditch the shirt and demands for a recall, both the FA and Nike are standing firm and refusing to back down.

The decision to include different colors and a modern twist to the iconic flag has led to accusations of the kit being 'too woke'. Fans have labeled the change as 'meaningless' and have taken to social media to voice their disapproval. Even Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has urged Nike to reconsider the design, further fueling the debate.

As the controversy rages on, polls are being conducted to gauge public opinion on whether the new kit is indeed too 'woke'. The upcoming Euro 2024 is adding to the tension as fans wonder how the uproar will impact the team's morale and performance on the field.

In a surprising turn of events, despite the backlash and calls for a recall, both Nike and the FA remain unwavering in their decision. The clash between traditional elements and modern updates in football jerseys continues to be a hot topic in the sports world, with debates heating up as the tournament draws near.
