Epic WTF

Painted in Citroen picasso?

You never know. Picasso painted something like 15,000 paintings in his life and 100,000 prints

Yeah, but it’d be quite something if this seller had 12 of them and decided to sell them all on eBay

The amount of people losing their shit about a little cross on the back of a football jersey as if it's important.

Looks quite nice to me. Best England kit we've had in ages.

Is anyone real losing their shit, or is it Daily Mail stirring the pot and politicians then feeling they have to make a fuss to be seen to be doing so?

Can I loose my shit about it being £lol? Is £125 typical for a football shirt?

Isn't the kids one VAT exempt so they are really taking the piss with it only being a fiver less?

I smell a big fat rat with that Picasso. By the 1920s Picasso was doing much more abstract work. The idea he knocked off an impressionist landscape in 1924 when he had firmly rejected that kind of painting style is surreal. For context, these are other works around that time.

i wondered that too. the scotland, wales and NI ones (all adidas) are something like 65 quid for the adult ones at JD Sport and don't seem to be on discount. the scotland one is a tenner less if you forego the stickers for the euros on the sleeves.

hang on... BBC news article

Ed Cowburn, who designs football kits for a living ...

that name rings a bell. He's one of the former Milltag founders, who did the Lufguss kit

yup. That and the fact it's on ebay.

While I'm here, these 'Warhol' prints stink too

Particularly when from Completed Items you can see they've already been sold at least once this year by the same seller.

It's a nod back to '66. Ingerland fans should be loving it since it's got a bit more TWO WORLD WARS AND ONE WORLD CUP in it :D

Taxi driver Joe in Stirling said he had "steam" coming out of his ears: "People died for that flag thousands of years ago".

No, they didn’t. At least not English people.

When I lived in Stirling, most of the cabbies thought the only good place for an English flag was draped over an Englishman's coffin.

It's a nod back to '66

When there was no cross of St George on the kit.

I can't wait until they realise there's no Ingerlund flag on the cricket kit or the rugby kit...

The flag when associated with football brings memories for me of hooligans and skinheads in the 1980s. Maybe that's the patriotism they're after?

I wonder what the St George's cross lovers would feel if they knew that at first, English ships were only allowed to bear the flag by paying money to and receiving protection from Genova.

They aren’t lions on the badge either

Never knew this.

It also looks like St George was a Turkish migrant.

Cappadocia, yeah. Don't think he even travelled to England, and I remember reading somewhere that 'our' cross is just a stolen flag from Alcoraz in Spain or something.

I'm happy with the outrage that people are feeling on the price btw.

Anglo-saxons are descended from Mesopotamians, i.e. Iraqis. So let's all wave the Iraqi flag. Nationalism is a dead end.

Then mix into that various Roman, Norse, French and Dutch invasions...

Oh, and the Celtic inhabitants who were here before the Anglo-Saxons.

^ with all that, the most representative flag is actually a rainbow. That'll upset the usual suspects.

Yup. It's almost like it's a load of jingoistic bunkum.

Excuse the rant - got a bit angry listening to someone on the bus throwing out all the usual cliches about "these days" earlier.

Now, deep breathes all

From the rivers of Babylon. Where we sat down...

"We're all trying to find the guys who did this to our flag"

That's the player one or whatever it's called. There's a "cheaper" one at something like £80
