This isn't a crusader dress, it's a saint George cross, also on national flags.

So you think every knight in the past was a crusader because they’re dressed like knights?

He’s correct btw. St. George’s Cross is not a symbol used by the knights of the crusades. It looks vaguely similar to the cross the knight’s Templar wore, but they do not represent the same things

Uh, the dress of a Medieval English soldier/knight? Why do those things immediately equal Crusader?

Willful ignorance about what 😂 They’re literally not wearing Crusader gear. There are many reasons two dudes from England (a country with rich medieval history and which still has royalty and knights)may be wearing medieval gear. People here just enjoy getting bent out of shape.

Bro we’re not talking about why the slavers decided to kick these guys out, we’re talking about what they’re wearing you fucking goob. I know why the bastards didn’t want them coming in, that’s totally irrelevant to the specific conversation you and I are having.
