Keir Starmer urges Nike to change St George’s cross colour on England football kit

Nike altered the cross using purple and blue horizontal stripes in what it called a 'playful update' to the shirt ahead of Euro 2024

The Labour leader said he believed the flag was a “unifier” and insisted the sporting brand should “reconsider” the decision to modify it. The US firm said the colours were inspired by the training kit worn by England’s 1966 World Cup winners.: “I’m a big football fan, I go to England games, men and women’s games, and the flag is used by everybody. It is a unifier. It doesn’t need to be changed. We just need to be proud of it.
