The Football Shirt Flag Hoo Ha
It's being reported as if Nike just came up with this and foisted it on the England team as a surprise.
Surely this would have been signed off by the football authorities well in advance. Why aren't they being asked about it?

I was just about to post along exactly the same lines, arkey. But it needn't be limited to the Star Spangled Banner. I cannot imagine any nation being happy to see their national flag misrepresented on their football team's shirts.
I was driving this afternoon and was listening to Dopey Sheila Fogerty on LBC, who was discussing the matter with her callers. SF said that she had some cushions in her home which were in the design on the Union Flag but which were in shades of green and cream instead of red, white and blue. She asked if that presented a similar problem. What the silly woman did not seem to understand was that her green & cream flags did not adorn the shirts of the country's football team.
Has anybody seen the flag of any other country presented in a prominent position, but misrepresented perhaps in colour or shape? What are Nike setting out to demonstrate with this nonsense?

This is the kind of question I don't understand. It's not Nike is it. They're just the manufacturers. They would presumably have presented a number of designs, and the England representatives obviously went 'yes, we'll take that one with the purple and green flag thanks'.
