Turkish Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 The white shirts were chosen a century ago when England was a predominately white country. These days as multiculturalism is the buzz word of the 20th century, should we consider changing the colours of the England sports teams kit to reflect this? Personally i think it's a good idea, to welcome the newcomers to England and embrace our multicultural society. We all know how sport bonds cultures and generations. I'd suggest England play in White and Brown stripes with black shorts to reflect the different cultures in our society. What do you all think?
LGTL Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 How about something like this as an away kit, so the carrot tops feel fully included too?
Turkish Posted 12 February, 2011 Author Posted 12 February, 2011 Good idea. We dont want the gingers being left out, we know they have a lot to put up with as it is.
Hatch Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 This thread is unbelievable. Cant believe no one has mentioned this. Surely, they should wear skirts instead of shorts , to reflect the contribution women have made to society.
swannymere Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 This is possibly the best idea to come out of this messageboard. Why don't we have rainbow coloured shirts with black shorts and white socks, this will have the affect of representing all the cultures and races whilst also showing solidarity with the gay and lesbian community, top idea Turkish; we should call them Turkish Rainbow Shirts in your honour! Also congrats on coming out, i told you nobody would care.
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 HOw about having the male and female symbols on each sleeve as well to include the homosexuals?
gaz Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 It rains a lot here in England, so wash the shirts and send the players out without drying them.
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 /\ good idea, maybe this is the reason why we have been so sh*t in tournements when it is hot. Wet shirts will help the players aclimatise to the hot summer conditions much better.
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 This thread is unbelievable. Cant believe no one has mentioned this. Surely, they should wear skirts instead of shorts , to reflect the contribution women have made to society. Ridiculous idea. women have no place in football.
Barney Trubble Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 I agree with this. I think that we should all look at the possibility of players playing some part of the game in a wheelchair. There are lots of people in the UK on incapacity benefit and I think it's only fair, and in the spirit of the thread, to look to ensure those that do claim incapacity benefit are made to feel that they are included too. Considering the amount of people who claim incapacity benefit in England, I think they are definitely under represented and the FA need to take measures to ensure those that do are felt loved too.
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 Good idea, each team should have one disabled player in each team and also one that suffers from depression or some other form of modern mental illness like OCD or ADHD so they are included. Lets just hope the depressed one doesn't miss an open goal or misplace a pass and gets a bit of grief from the crowd, it might send them over the edge. HAve to keep an eye on the ADHD, they'll lose interest in the game after five mintes and start trying to set fire to the referee.
bridge too far Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 I think, too, that when selecting the teams, managers should ensure that there's fair representation on both the left and right wings. Those players who would win favour with the likes of Stanley could play on the extreme right - probably outside the ground? The last sentence is, of course, allegorical, implying that Stanley is so extreme that he has no place in the Big Game.
dune Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 I think they should have a granny in the team so BTF doesn't feel left out.
NorthamSteve Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 We aren't in a multicutural society, it's a multi-racial society. There's a massive difference. At least work on the facts before you start being facetious.
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 We aren't in a multicutural society, it's a multi-racial society. There's a massive difference. At least work on the facts before you start being facetious. Can we also include pendantic bellends in our multicutural XI?
bridge too far Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Can we also include pendantic bellends in our multicutural XI? Only if we can also include those suffering from tunnel vision.
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 Only if we can also include those suffering from tunnel vision. What with you being a woman as well, i think you have every chance of making the squad.
NorthamSteve Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Can we also include pendantic bellends in our multicutural XI? There is also a difference between 'pedantic' and 'educated'.
JustMike Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Can we also include pendantic bellends in our multicutural XI? why just stop at just the pendantic types?
BadgerBadger Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 What about black and white stripes to reflect our oppressed prisoners that cannot vote, they're a minority voice that have earn't the right to vote with their unbridaled contribution to society and have been surpressed for far too long dam it!!
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 (edited) Squad so far.... Here is our multicutural squad so far then and the groups they represent, please feel free to shout and complain you are being discrimanted if you feel you are being played out of position, i am sure some of you will... Al De Man - chinese Dune - (Far right/EDL) Liquidshock - (OCD & depression suffers) Super Mikey - (nausiating teenagers) Joensuu - (liberal left/UAF) Northam Steve - (pedantics) Verbal - (least self awaregroup) Deppo - (failed comedians) Bridge too Far - (holier than thou) Sue Whistle - (homosexuals) Robsk - (Gingers) We need blacks and asians in the squad so you need to come forward for selection but this means some of you will be on the bench when we can include these. Hope you are not offended. Edited 13 February, 2011 by Turkish
bridge too far Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Turkish - (visually challenged / homophobic)
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 Turkish - (visually challenged / homophobic) please provide evidence of this,

Hope you are not offended. Verbal is a member of the ethnic community so he can cover two bases.

HAve to keep an eye on the ADHD, they'll lose interest in the game after five mintes and start trying to set fire to the referee. This is a wonderful and caring suggestion and would have the added benefit of our team being eligible for both the special olympics as well as the normal one, thus greatly increasing our chances of winning something. I do feel that the coaching staff should not be forgotten in all this and my own suggestion is that the manager should be a registered tourettes syndrome sufferer, so that this needy group is not overlooked and will demonstrate how such people can easily be assimilated into normal life. Besides which, the post game press conferences might finally be worth listening to...
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Author Posted 13 February, 2011 Verbal is a member of the ethnic community so he can cover two bases. exellent. He has not only just cemented his place in the side, but as our most arrogant poster, he can also be captain.
Turkish Posted 14 February, 2011 Author Posted 14 February, 2011 please provide evidence of this, Turkish - (visually challenged / homophobic) well???
Lighthouse Posted 14 February, 2011 Posted 14 February, 2011 The English national team is of course massively racist. Cole, Johnson, Defoe, Lennon, SWP... What planet are they on? 92% of the uk population is white, so from now on only one dark chap on the pitch please. We also need to have 5 women on the pitch too. Obviously we can only have 5 men, we don't want any favouritism here, so the 11th player can be a tranny (assuming Turkish is okay with this). As for the kit, I think some form of sequined leotard will embrace the gay aspect of our community, as well as a Burberry hat to represent the chavies.

You are mental, what a ridiculous idea, women have no place in football. We need to include Baj somewhere in the squad as well, there must be a category for failed muscian/wannabe rock star lookalike category? Our we could just put him under the category of "the Hello generation" that just want to be famous.
The9 Posted 8 March, 2011 Posted 8 March, 2011 I know it's only the truth, and therefore has no place here, but the current England home white kit actually has a load of multicoloured crosses on the shoulders to represent exactly this multiculturalism. So well done, only 6 months late...
