Supermarket
Asda has defended a 'wearable England flag' it has launched for the
World Cup after claims it resembles a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
The
£3 St George’s Cross, with the word 'England' emblazoned across it,
features a hood which Asda said was to allow fans to stay dry in the
unpredictable British weather.
But
some fans took to Twitter today to point out the similarities between
the hoods and those worn by the racist US organisation, also known by
its initials 'KKK'.
Asda customers say the new 'Wearable England Flag' looks like the notorious uniform of the Ku Klux Klan
The supermarket insists the outfit is merely designed to allow fans to watch England come rain or shine
One
website user called Kieran posted a picture of himself at his
@KieranCPhoto account, writing: 'Asda are selling wearable England
flags, they look dodgy to say the least...'
Another
user called Simon replied on his account: ''ENGLAND RULES OKKK'
Honestly, do Asda simply not bother to see how these things look when
worn?
