England

[loozy]

Oh, I love it

Why blue?

Traditionally the home kit is white with blue shorts.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

We need to get back to that asap IMO.

 

[FCBarca]

Why blue?

Because their colors are blue & red

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

Because their colors are blue & red

That is incorrect actually. The English colours are Red and White, like the flag. However, we always used to have some blue in there as well.

 

[Jenks]

Because their colors are blue & red

That's a Union Flag, the flag of the United Kingdom, not the flag of England. I think the blue on the kits comes from the badge.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The blue part is probably from the scottish flag (maybe?):

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

No because Scotland are a separate country. As a previous poster said, you are confusing the Union Flag with the English flag of St. George.

 

[Deco 20]

No I meant that the blue part of the British flag is probably from Scotland

 

[Fishdoll]

Except it's a different shade of blue.

 

[Deco 20]

Can't expect them to get everything right

 

[Jenks]

No he's right. The Union Flag is an amalgamation of St. George's cross (England), St. Andrew's saltire (Scotland) and St. Patrick's saltire (Ireland).
