I’m so looking forward to Nike’s playful take on the poppy. In fact, I might book a week off work in November so I can fully absorb the rage

I’m sure ex-servicemen everywhere would join you in this beano of schadenfreude.

Squires usually does a good Poppygate comic too. So that's something to look forward to.

I'm sure ex-servicemen, in fact the vast majority of people, will see my post is not mocking them, more the idiots who have hijacked Rememberance Day to serve their own agenda. In fact, some servicemen despise what the day has now become.

I heard talk of pearl clutching around the subject of the short collar thing. I was struggling to understand which view point was doing the pearl clutching.

All these ridiculous phrases have lost so much meaning and that which they describe seems to be practiced by those that coin it.

I mean in this currently scenario are we really expected to see pearl clutching, easily offended snowflakes anywhere but within the vocal minority of triggered individuals losing their shit on social media about some colours on a shirt.

I would add that as ever with this stuff we are hearing a whole lot more from people talking about these over-sensitive nitwits than the nitwits themselves.

The culture wars rage on. They are good for someone, that's for sure.

Those brown shorts were awful.

Those brown shorts were awful.

They are indeed.

A homage...

Let's hope we don't get a Paddington kit in future...

We should probably get Pickford a pair in case we end up playing France.

Why not? We've already done Winnie the Pooh

Thankfully, Kane wasn't naked from the waist down...

The colourway reminded me of the Africa Unity shirt, that every African nation had as their third kit at the South Africa World Cup.

As an aside, the word "colourway" is making a big comeback, I notice. (Due to kids and their socials)

I'm sorry.....you think I would ALLOW some FOREIGN BEAR from DARKEST PERU, who CAME HERE and took OUR marmalade sandwiches, lived here RENT FREE and spent time in OUR PRISONS at OUR COST through OUR LEGAL SYSTEM to even DARE suggest he should be the inspiration for the football kit of OUR GLORIOUS NATION? This is namby pamby woke lefty remainer NONSENSE.

I've read it for the first time in my life, just now, on this thread.

Not going to lie - it's fairly new to me too, but my kids use it regularly.

It's deffo not a new word...
