Why would they do it?...makes no sense whatsoever.

We should refuse to buy one and let the sales for England shirts drop to an all time low.

[JonB]

Don’t really care about the badge, we’ve had different takes on it on shirts before and no one kicked off. Price however for both versions is ridiculous.

More bothered about the price. Shocking.

As is so common these days, some people feel compelled to get incredibly offended over a triviality. St George's cross is just a red cross on a white background. The cross on that shirt is nothing like St George's- it's just a commercial logo designed to sell shirts. It wouldn't persuade me to fork out the extortion asking price, even if I was English and not Scottish.

The George Cross is not the symbol for the England National Football Team, the shield with 3 lions on it is, they haven't messed with that have they? Stop getting angry over nothing. Like Goku and Jon says the cost is what people should be getting angry about.

St George never came to England and never killed a dragon. The cross was created by the royals for the sole purpose of getting the poor people of this land to fight and die for them in their pointless wars of wealth building. Hence the saying die for the cross. The cross means diddly squat, just another con. Just a point in heraldry terms the three cat lying down are leopards, cats rearing up are lions

So most flags are pointless then in your opinion

[spireitetoo]

Wonder if Nike have any plans to turn the Stars and Stripes pink and blue? And what the reaction to that would be,.. probably mass riots a couple of executives gunned down??

But no its OK to do it to the English, cos they're meek and will just roll over and take it...

Money making ripoff. They're probably made in somewhere like Vietnam by kids who should be at school, and not behind a sewing machine. Did slavery ever go away from western business mandarins? I'm damn sure they'd rather pay pennies than pay a decent living wage in the countries where they reside.
All England supporters,every man woman and child of all colour should say up yours and not buy the overpriced tat. It must cost a fortune for mum, dad and two kids to go to an England game these days, but hey the FA don't give an FA about them.

Think the little multi coloured cross thing is the best bit of the shirt - looks quite nice close up

Football strips for england and premier league teams are a rip off full stop

[Spire2001]

I'll buy one in Thailand for a fiver and have them put a George cross on it for an extra 50p

[Bluekent]

It’s probably best to leave a nations flag alone , I don’t recall them messing about with any other flag? I could be wrong. Either way I’ll just be buying the pre match warm up top as normal , they are cheaper and usually nicer than the match shirts. £125 for a shirt when people are struggling shows how out of touch with reality they are. Ridiculous.

Nike = American = don't give a flying fork over the cost of living.

Lets get rid of the crooked spire on our badge , just a symbol of shoddy workmanship.

The St George Cross has never been a traditional symbol on the England Shirt until recently, Once again the symbol and crest is the 3 Lions.

[Middle East]

I don't like the change of the St George, I don't like the design of the shirt and I certainly don't like the rip off price...

....if I am going to spend £100 it will be on the towns new home and away shirts!
