not that the flag code means anything to anyone, but you arent supposed to use the FLAG as advertising. and that is just stupid. who thinks up this shit.



Pretty clear.

• 
  The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard.
  
  
  

• The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations.

Does this offend the etiquette? My point being that maybe the cherry-picking of certain "aspects" of the flag do not necessarily count as displaying "the flag" as part of a costume or sports uniform. It says the FLAG shall not be used as part of... Not PART of the FLAG shall not be used in ....

I am proud to be an american, as for the flag code let break one rule right now, that is one flag i would like to see on the ground :)


As for the flag uniform it does not bother me, the fact that they are paying some tribute to fallen heroes makes them better than the rest that do not.

oh give me a break, it isn't spattered blood. its a classic design style. did you notice the blue is also spattered? so does it represent the aliens blood? people get so worked up over nothing and believe any garbage they read on the internet.

now all that being said, in my opinion the flag should never be used this way. you can do red white and blue and have a star or do something like uncle same where there are similarities but not actual flag patterns.

This.

The manly men over at NPR are all upset about these uniforms, too.

It's worth noting that Under Armour has been creating special NCAA football uniforms to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project since 2009 and that red splotches have been one of the design features before — on last year's uniforms worn by Boston College and the University of Hawaii, for example.
