Nike's new England kit has faced criticism over its 'playful' redesign of the St George's Cross - but it is not the first time a football kit or logo has faced criticism.
Nike's 'playful' redesign of the St George's Cross on the new England kit has sparked a row - but it's not the first time a logo change has caused a furore. The row intensified on Friday when Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also warned against 'messing with' the national flag.
However, amid continued pressure from the fans, he did eventually relent and agreed to bring back the club's traditional colours and logo in 2015. Spain England is not the only national team to have a kit controversy. In 2017, German sportswear brand Adidas faced fury after critics claimed the colours of Spain's national team's shirt were too similar to the flag of Spain's Second Republic - instead of its current national flag.
