Well that escalated quickly.
Nike and the FA proudly unveiled the new home and away England kits on Thursday, and it’s fair to say that the reaction was…passionate.
The subtle two-tone shirts – and the not-so-subtle inverted sock colours – certainly stirred an emotional response amongst the fans. Unfortunately for those responsible, it was less than positive.
Below are just a few of the unhappy reactions to the offending items. We suspect the final word, from DJ Leon, is slightly OTT…
