Le drapeau anglais

drapeau anglais
croix de saint Georges

Le drapeau anglais est une croix rouge sur fond blanc : d'argent à croix de gueules. Elle porte le nom de Croix de saint Georges (St George's Cross).

D'origine palestinienne, Georges est un officier de l'armée romaine, sous Dioclétien. Lorsque l'empereur exigea la persécution des chrétiens, il fut torturé et mis à mort, au début du IVe siècle. Il est fêté le 23 avril. Très rapidement, on érige des lieux de culte à sa mémoire. Plus tard, une légende rapporte qu'il aurait terrassé un dragon. Il est devenu très populaire auprès des Croisés.

La première mention de la Croix de saint Georges date de 1277, sous le règne d'Édouard Ier (Edward I). Il est devenu le saint patron de l'Angleterre sous Édouard III, le fondateur de l'Ordre de la Jarretière.

Maryland Uniforms Draws Lots Of Attention

Under Armour Wins

Last night the University of Maryland defeated the Miami Hurricanes 32-24 in new head coach Randy Edsall’s debut. However the game was not about Edsall or the Hurricanes new coach Al Golden or even the recent NCAA investigation surrounding the school thanks to convicted felon Nevin Shapiro but instead the uniforms donned by the Terrapins designed by Under Armour.

The University of Maryland’s new uniforms dominated Twitter and Google. The Terrapins emerged from the locker room with new white uniforms patterned after the state flag. They wore wild helmets spashed with red and white on the left side and black and yellow on the right, and the pattern continued to the shoulders. Unfortunately the new uniforms drew hate and laughter from athletes and media members throughout Monday night.
