This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about sports kits are a matter for sports associations, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
