2026 is going to be a big year for sport. Come February, we’re kicking things off with the Winter Olympics in Milan, followed by the FIFA World Cup in July, hosted across the US, Mexico and Canada. This year, the England women’s teams did us proud – the Lionesses won the Euros (for a second time in a row, no less), while the Red Roses won the women’s rugby world cup. The men might have a tough act to follow, but that won’t stop the nation showing up in full force to support the Three Lions.

Sadly, though, it’s never been more embarrassing to wear an England jersey – let alone fly the St George’s flag. For decades, far-right groups have co-opted the flag, turning it into a symbol associated with racism and anti-immigration. In September, they came for the Union flag too, with over 100,000 far-right protestors attending Tommy Robinson’s rally in London, the largest of its type in British history. 

Thankfully, for those wanting to follow the footie while showing support for England Men’s, political street art collective Pattern Up has designed a solution. Teaming up with Irish political artist and writer Adam Doyle (AKA SpiceBag), journalist Jake Hanrahan and Pakistani artist Alina Akbar, the collective has launched an England x Palestine football jersey, with profits going towards humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Inspired by the design of classic vintage England kits, the jersey’s intention is to “reimagine English identity,” says Pattern Up, “not as a tool for exclusion, but as a platform for compassion and international solidarity.” 

“By melding the England kit with Palestinian design elements and Arabic writing, we created a kit that challenges the traditional image of exclusively white lads in white shirts and made something that many outside the traditional paradigm of Englishness can take pride in.” The jerseys are on sale now (here), raising money for the Dignity for Palestinians campaign. 

Elsewhere in fashion this week, we lost a legend with the death of trailblazing punk designer Pam Hogg, it was announced that Fashion East will receive the Special Recognition award at Monday’s British Fashion Awards, and we caught up with Valériane Venance about her latest work for Indépendantes de Coeur. Here’s everything else you need to catch up on…
