sc49erfan15 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 It's one thing to have misspelled names or team names on a jersey or shirt, it's another to get the flag wrong.If it isn't your language, I could see getting the names misspelled. If it isn't your flag, I could see putting it on the wrong way. If I worked somewhere sewing foreign flags onto clothing, I can guarantee I wouldn't get them all right.Especially if you were sewing flags of Ireland, Cote D'Ivoire, Indonesia, Poland, or Monaco.

YessSir32 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 You know, Infrared might be on to something with his whole theory that the latest crop of newbies only care about raising their post count. How else would you explain YessSir and Jahgee's derailing of the thread?On topic, that is indeed pretty odd. Of course, real sticklers for the flag rules would tell you that the real mess-up was displaying the flag on a sports uniform at all.I honestly don't care about my post count. I was simply commenting on the topic. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the equipment manager or whoever saw that, they should have just been ripped off. Better no flag than an upside-down one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Billy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If they respected the flag code and didn't put the flag on the jersey in the first place, this would not be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If MLS is so inclined to have the American and Canadian flags on their kits, then they should consider improving the MLS logo to incorporate elements from these two countries instead. As a matter of fact, a few users (I forgot who specifically) on these boards, have developed exceptional logos that did follow this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say no one saw it so it wasn't noticed to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 People see what they want to see.

ManCalledAmp Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yeah, I can honestly say I've seen mispelled player names, misspelled city or team names, but never an upside-down flag. Nice find.And thanks to whoever did that reference on the Juns post. Not me, I swear....but I'm honored to be referenced in an almost threadjack. Lol. Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.Preds & Avs. Braves, Rays, & Dodgers. Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals. Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam. Team Spirit + Laziness = Yay.

Gothamite Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yep, just like I said. Phony, cheap "patriotism" to sell their product.
