I guess they’re bringing it back, starting with the Mids:

People I talked to were told that the softgoods on SSD would be a limited run and that they weren’t putting it back on the baseplates. If it wasn’t a misunderstanding, NHS either changed their mind or lied to push the softgoods because tees have a higher profit margin.
Nice of them to add a shied around it so all the losers can protect themselves against woke
This was only on the first few runs of them when they came out in 2020, before they took the cross off everything, so if you are seeing this now, it is an old picture or old stock.
Some of these came through my hands for customers, but the next order of them, there were no crosses on them, so they might have even been the first trucks to have them removed, or everything else in the country at that time was still old stock, as there were still plenty of them around for a while.
I have still seen some older (pre 2020) trucks here and there in shops so there is a chance you might still see these too, but I think more than anything, if you are shopping online, it is going to be an old pic.
Check the NHS site for the current pics of everything, including the mids = no crosses.
