Under Armour, the sports-gear supplier of choice for people who feel Nike just isn't crass or hideous enough, is helping the Northwestern University football team pay tribute to the country's war casualties by dressing the players in a special flag-patterned uniform smeared with fake blood. If you buy one for yourself, Under Armour will donate a whole $7.49 to the Wounded Warrior Project.

I don't mind the uniforms until they added splattered blood. That's just going too far.

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.

HBAR, You're assuming people (other than a gross majority here, and other like-minded folks) even know that there IS a flag code, much less adhere to it.

^^^This. The idea of paying tribute to wounded soldiers is great. Their execution of it is hideous. :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

Somebody hang that upside down on a flag pole. Please.

What? No abortion themed maternity wear?

the spattered blood is too much. I like the patriotic theme but an american flag patch on the jersey would work great and all teams could implement them in support of the troops/country, just as they wear pink for BCA.

I ain't on board with that 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.
