ISLAMIC State zealots have banned their conquered people from wearing England tops and clothes made by sportswear giants Nike and Adidas.
The crackpot clerics have drawn up new decrees also warning the wearing of tops of football teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid and AC Milan is forbidden as it is an example of idolatry.
The warped regime has begun handing out leaflets in its so-called capital of Raqqa in northern Syria warning locals about the crackdown.

The university lecturer explained ISIS' insistence on regulating every aspect of their subjects' lives.
"One of ISIS' goals is to present this very religiously learned image, showcasing their knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence to justify to their following that they are the moral authority," he said.
"It's clear that ISIS and their religious clerics and scholars are extremely familiar with religious texts and use them to convince and persuade ISIS followers, which also makes them impervious to any religion-based counterargument."
ISIS has also begun re-opening universities – but has banned archaeology and courses in tourism and hotel management.
The scholar added: “The banning of archaeology is not a surprise. We see that reflected in ISIS destruction of ancient artefacts. ISIS regards pre-Islamic artefacts as relics from the 'period of ignorance', jahiliyah.
“Their main concern with archaeology is that it would become a subject turning to idol worship, which is strictly forbidden in Islam.
"Hotel management and tourism may seem strange as first. But there are no hotels under ISIS. They have all been taken over and shut down, either rented out or become places to house families."
