I am also tremendously confused by the idea that if a PE kit doesn't have a school logo on it, it somehow ceases to exist.
Ms Trott also spoke strongly about the government’s aim to limit the number of branded items of school uniform and PE kit to three for primary schools, which is in the upcoming schools bill. “What they’re doing as a result of the schools bill is actually basically banning PE kit in primary schools,” she said. “It’s outrageous, because there is a sense of belonging and identity that is so important in school uniform.” Although she agreed that uniform should not be too expensive, she said there were “many different ways” to solve this problem.

How are they getting the flags in places like this in the first place?! Penshaw Monument is no small thing. Same with the one on Angel of the North. That's some effort to scare away immigrants tbf. Beats spray painting a mini roundabout.
