Swastikas, Roman Gear, modern reenactment (cont from market)
#29
And, to be fair, it is possible to claim back symbols. An example is the cross of St George, which in the 1960s/ 70s was mainly a far right symbol.

In fact England supporters in the 1966 World Cup used the Union Jack, rather than the English national flag.

Now, at England football and rugby games, St George's cross is the dominant flag for England supporters.

But.....this was caused by thousands of sports fans- and a resurgence of Welsh, Scots and Irish flags/ national pride as well. A much bigger ask for other old symbols IMHO.......

And I agree, prob time to close this thread.
