English company Asda has thrown its weight behind the country's FIFA World Cup squad by selling a wearable flag.
The British supermarket chain hopes that people will send their
message of team support by sporting the St. George’s cross on their
person.
Instead, whoever wears this particular piece of clothing may be
sending an altogether 
different kind of message. Because it kind of
resembles a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
different kind of message. Because it kind of
resembles a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
A company spokesman somehow found a way to defend the clothing item when interviewed by The Press Association.
"We know there's chatter on Twitter about our wearable World Cup
flags, but it's simply a flag with a hood – nothing more, nothing less,"
she said.
"We opted for a hood on our wearable
England and Brazilian flags as you never know what the British weather
will bring. We want customers to get behind the team without getting
wet."
The spokesman refrained from suggesting alternative means to support
England without getting wet. Like staying indoors during rainy weather.
Or bringing an umbrella.
