The Labour leader said he believed the flag was a ‘unifier’ and insisted the sporting brand should reconsider the decision to modify it.
Sir Keir Starmer has called on Nike to change the colour of the St George’s Cross on a new England football shirt to traditional red after a row over its design.
The call comes after Nike revealed it had altered the cross using purple and blue horizontal stripes in what it called a “playful update” to the shirt ahead of Euro 2024. Sir Keir told The Sun: “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.
Some football pundits and fans have criticised the design and price of the shirt since it was launched earlier this week.
