The NFL went military and remembrance mad right around the time the US invaded Afghanistan. The idea seeped across the pond and has grown and grown ever since. 10 years ago not all EPL teams had them on their strips according to something I saw on twitter. It mushroomed really fast into the current jingoistic car crash.

Pretty sure you can go further back, and some of the more working class and red neck sports(NASCAR and some of the southern state college football teams) were embracing it all a bit before then. I certainly remember Noam Chomsky banging on about it when I was reading his stuff and that was definitely pre Afghanistan.
