Team GB have launched the official Adidas Olympic kit and stuck with the traditional Union flag after Nike sparked outrage with an 'inclusive' pink and purple flag. The newly revealed Adidas team kit has gone for a much safer option than Nike, sticking with the iconic red, white and blue flag. Earlier this month, Nike suffered a massive backlash for their sale of Olympic merchandise to fans which were called union jack flags but were pink and purple with dots and squiggly lines. Bath-based agency Thisaway, who came up with the concept, said they wanted to 'find a way of refreshing Team GB's colour palette' because it was 'far from unique', prompting a backlash from politicians and the public.Pictured right: A close-up of the flag on the Nike England soccer jersey at a fan store in London, Britain, 22 March 2024 which was slammed for using 'woke' colours in the flag.

In the face of backlash against Team GB's 'woke' pink and purple Union Jack rebranding, furious fans have launched a lawsuit against a design firm with negative feedback

Critics have weighed on Bath-based design and marketing company Thisaway's new products, which they have produced ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Since being accused of 'defacing' the Union Jack in the new designs, the company's average rating from Google reviews has dropped to 1.3 out of five. The British Olympic Association has requested that Team GB participants wear the Union Jack on kits, which will be unveiled in the coming weeks. As part of BOA-led efforts to attract younger fans from all walks of life, Thisaway said they wanted to make Team GB's presentation more 'inclusive.'

Team GB strikes back in Union Jack rebranding row as it reveals athletes WILL wear traditional design on Olympics kits - as 'disgusted' Fatima Whitbread slams 'inclusive' pink and purple redesign on merchandise

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 2, 2024
Despite the controversies surrounding the introduction of a redesigned 'flag' on selected products, Team GB athletes will wear the Union Jack on their kit at this summer's Olympics. Following a rebranding exercise last year, Team GB introduced a range of items on their online store in which the Union Jack has been altered in different shades of red, white, and blue, as well as a sequence of patterns. Thisaway, a Bath-based company that originated with the idea, said they wanted to'find a way to update Team GB's color palette' because it was "far from unique," sparking a backlash from politicians and the public. However, Team GB insists that the new pink and purple designs on their Paris 2024 kit, which was created two years ago, will not be included on their Paris 2024 kit, which was due to be unveiled later this month. In Paris, a spokesperson told Mail Sport: "All Team GB members will wear the Union Jack as normal."

Fatima's UK Campaign, which raises funds to protect and assist homeless children and adults, has emerged from her childhood experiences.

Mary Earps used to think she was not strong enough. When the agony of being left out of the England squad was so overwhelming, she was screaming on the kitchen floor. At a time when she felt she had lost her purpose and considered calling it off. That was three years ago. Fast forward to last night, and the same woman was on stage, surrounded by the best of British sport with the BBC Sports Personality of the Year trophy in her hand. The trophy may not be in a safer pair of hands for the next 12 months. 'This is the ultimate all-round sporting achievement,' Earps said, finishing fifth in this year's women's Ballon d'Or rankings, the highest finish for a keeper in this year.' This is just... wow. It hasn't been the fastest ride ever.
