As a passionate supporter of England, I am deeply concerned about Nike's decision to alter the design and colours of our new shirt for the Euros. The George Cross is not just an emblem; it is a symbol that represents our nation's identity and history. It seems incomprehensible that such a significant aspect of our national heritage could be changed without any consultation with those who hold it dear.

The George Cross has been part of England's football kit since 1949, representing over seven decades of tradition (source: Football Association). This change by Nike not only disrupts this long-standing tradition but also disregards what this emblem means to millions of English fans worldwide.

We urge Nike and The Football Association to reconsider their decision and restore the George Cross on the new England shirt. We believe in preserving traditions that unite us as a nation, especially when they are as meaningful as this one.

Please sign this petition if you too feel strongly about preserving our national heritage on our football shirts.
