What is the real with this kit guys?

I'm intrigued because it's similarity to this:

and this:

In fact some Turkish guys is suing Inter over the shirt claiming it offends "Muslim sensibilities".

Quote:

“That cross only brings one thing to mind - the symbol of the Templar Knights,” he said. “It made me think immediately of the bloody days of the past. While I was watching the game I felt profound grief in my soul.” Mr Kaska told the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia that the cross symbolised “Western racist superiority over Islam”.

He said that Inter had “manifested in the most explicit manner the superiority of one religion over another”.

Idiot, then he should sue the city of Milan, the Catholic church, England etc.....

What the fuck?

Honestly, good for the crusade then, history is history. We are a catholic nation, personally I don't see the problem.

Really? I can't believe I didn't know that.

I always assumed the red cross on a white field, on AC Milan's kit was a reference to the fact the club was started by a group of Englishmen (it seemed more than reasonable to me that the founders would have incorporated the England flag into their new clubs logo).

Apparently it has nothing to do with England or the Templar, it is the flag of St Ambrose who was Bishop of Milan from 374 to 397AD: Flag of Milan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ya i agree...thats fuckin stupid...now if they were dressed in all white and had on hoods i could see where this guy is coming from, but a white shirt with a red cross isnt offensive to anyone

WTF is there to be offended about?! I don't see any big letters calling Islam, so why would they be offended? What's so offensive about a red cross?

Anyway, I agree that, when i saw the kit, the first thing that sprang to mind was St. George's cross (maybe just because I'm English).

England could get away with that as a home shirt (provided it doesn't offend anyone

)
