Personally, I actually dig the kit. I wouldn't call it "trashed." If I were British, I think the blue shorts would bother me way more than those tiny little crosses that you can't even see unless you're standing within a yard and a half of them. To me, this thing feels... trance, sensation white, Amsterdam Arena, pure speed, Tiësto, and "this ain't nothing but a summer jam."🙂
Actually, now that I look at it, I love it even more. It’s giving me massive Ibiza vibes for next year. I really hope they drop a sleeveless version somewhere down the line.🤣
The only "Bed" part is that I'm not exactly a fan of the British, but man, this looks too good. Honestly, the jersey feels like one giant middle finger to their colonial history—or maybe "reverse colonization" if we're using the terminology coined by mellowowl38—since people from India, Muslim nations, Africa, and everywhere else have basically moved into the UK.

But seriously, it's awesome. My only regret is knowing that our national team would never get a kit this sick. I'm actually terrified of what Nike might cook up for us during the Euros in Poland or Ukraine... maybe some other multicultural madness, like a pink-and-white checkerboard pattern or something.🤣
And the scariest part? That's not even an impossible scenario.

So, anyway... what's your take on him returning to football? I mean, what exactly did he have to do with jerseys in the first place?

I’m with you there—the second I saw that photo, those blue shorts jumped out at me. Honestly, they look just like an old Hajduk jersey or something. If they were a much deeper navy, maybe even almost black, then we'd be talking. But as they are? Not quite hitting the mark.
I honestly don't get why they’ve put that subtle, tonal star above the crest on the last couple of kits—you know, the one celebrating the '66 title? It’s like it's trying to hide in plain sight. I highly doubt it’s some kind of modesty thing, though—that’s just not how the British do things...
