An Incredibly Silly Controversy on a Very Normal Island

Football, by which I mean Association Football, is a big deal in England [citation not needed].

And the national team has a new Home Kit out!

It looks like this:

It is, somehow, controversial (at least, with politicians), if decidedy not the biggest of the big stories even as I write this.

That controversy is not because of the weird band at the bottom of the shorts, which is both ugly and bizarre (it... doesn't go all the way round?!), but because of this detail on the back of the shirt.

It's sort of a St George's cross (the flag of England, specifically), but not, because of the coloured banding and also it not having a white background.

This choice for that, over sticking the flag on the collar and calling it a day, was made because, apparently, the three varying shades of red, and also each of the individual colours of the bi pride flag (... okay, not quite there, but I can't be the only one who sees the resemblance, right), have featured on iconic kits of England past.

A comedian disliked it, and thought it was a bit weird. (content warning: The Mirror is owned by Reach PLC and so has a borderline unusable website).

But the controversy appears to have proper kicked off [pun not originally intended], or at least gone mainstream, because of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer being asked about it by the Sun because he's doing some sort of reader's questions gimmick with them (which is, honestly, itself way more of a problem than the flag thing), and Sir Keir taking the opportunity to signal his patriotism.

Specifically, Sir Keir said “...the flag [🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿] is used by everybody, it’s unifying, it doesn’t need to change. We just need to be proud of it. So I think they should just reconsider this and change it back.” (also: the shirt itself costs too much money to buy, and he is totally a massive football fan. Which by all accounts is actually true but he has an uncanny ability to sound like he is lying constantly.).

With that, the Prime Minister, whose entire political strategy has consisted of culture warring to not particularly impressive effect, also felt compelled to weigh in, also talking about the sacred immutability and pride in the flag.

As of 5pm on Friday 22nd March 2024, there are no plans to change the shirt [outside of the usual new shirt schedule, obviously], and it has the Football Association's full support.

The punchline

So, with all that hot air, the need to change 'back' the flag n'all, you'd think that there'd been a rich history of the unaltered St George's Cross flag [England ver.] on the back and/or front of kits, right? Beyond white being the default home kit colour and red a fairly common pick for away?

But. Well.

This is actually the first time since 2018 that there's been anything resembling a St George's cross on the kit.

If we just look at the past decade:

Neither the 2022 kit[s], nor the 2020 kit, nor the 2021 special kit for the 2020 Euros finals had the flag itself on. At all.

2018's Home kit did, (as I just said) but then the away kit had, and I quote "a modern St. George’s Cross." design all across the front. That is to say [gasp] a modified flag.

Anyway, 2016 also seems not to have had a flag, settling for the word "England" on the back of both kits.

2014 is in the zone where I'm stuck looking at eBay listings for a shot of the back of both home and away kits (so no more links alas), but, again, no flag on the home, and the same "modern" variant on the front of the away.

So in the last decade, there has been a regular St George's cross on an England outfield football kit precisely once.

But, just for fun, let's go a few more iterations back.

2013, first Nike kit, "150th anniversary" of England having a national football team, and no flag on either kit.

2012, last Umbro kit, no flag on the home, and I have hit my limit on how hard I'm willing to search to check the away's collar to be absolutely sure that there isn't an iron-on flag or something. But also, I really have to give shout-outs to the red-on-red crosses on the Home Goalkeeper kit, and blue-on blue for the away GK kit.

And, finally, 2011, a year when both outfield kits have flags on. But not the 'standard' one in either case. Specifically, Umbro gave us a home kit with a bunch of comically tiny multicoloured flags for ants, and an away kit with varying shades of blue cross on the collar. This was not controversial at the time - or at least an attempt to find evidence instead finds controversy over the contemporaneous rugby kit (and also the present thing I am writing about).

Though actually the home kit really should have been because, seriously, my god what is with this:

Remember: Football shirts are designed to be visible from somewhat far away, and not require a magnifying glass to perceive a presumably important design element.

But, anyway, I'm beginning to think that the great 2024 England Kit controversy might be a bit contrived, not gonna lie.

Disclosure: I'd seen reference to the Umbro kit [which otherwise I would have missed on the flag search because, again, tiny flags for ants] in this BBC article which, in the time I took to write this, also seems to have been updated with all sorts of useful quotes basically saying the same thing I just did. C'est la vie, I guess.

Fake edit: oh, right. The home kit also isn't even the only England outfield kit this year with a modified flag.

Though I guess it is the only one where it's actually, like, visible when worn...
