Genuinely, I have no idea what that is supposed to be? Why is blue and purple uniting and inspiring?

Thinking about it why would you give stuff like this to foreign companies if you have your own? Unless the design is something butt like West Ham's early season kit you think this would be homegrown stuff.

Why have we lost the knowledge of making statues? Modern ones look like crap while the romans 2000 years ago made epic and small peepeeed wonders.

Honestly. For $11k+/- of real money that looks about right.
Edit: oof. That's only worth 9k USD. Bongs be losing harder than I thought. Still worth about that but lmao at the declining currency.

Had a further look and apparently it's supposed to be for West Ham? Because nothing says uniting like associating the national team kit with a specific club.
Edit: or maybe the manager? But I don't know where the purple has come from then

West Ham have always claimed half-jokingly "they won the 1966 World Cup" as a fair portion of that team played for them or was from the academy. Kind of like Barcelona with the 2010 team.

Are you allowed to change a flag's colours? I feel like that's probably a crime in a lot of countries.

It's not a flag. It's a tribute to a flag.
Is what they would say...
Tbh other than the weird flag vandalism the design looks ok. Don't really see any other problems with it.

Some muzzie countries consider the flag an extension of their religion and see the when people throw it on soccer balls and stuff.
