Merchandise such as a Team GB supporters’ flag, which has been for sale on their website for nearly a year, was splashed on the front page of St George’s Cross on the back of England’s football shirt, this fresh Olympics “controversy” had former goalkeeper Peter Shilton crying “nothing is sacred” and two-time Olympic medallist Fatima Whitbread claiming she was “absolutely disgusted”. But the BOA insisted that “all Team GB athletes will wear the Union Jack as normal in Paris” to calm any fears among fans that they would not see the famous colours on their heroes’ kits this summer. The merchandise in question was a collaboration with the agency Thisaway, who explained they were trying to “refresh” the colour palette of Team GB
