I know the intent was good, but I really despise seeing the flag used in violation of US Code Title 36. We should know better.

There is no "disrespecting" or "desecration" of the flag going on here so, is it being violated?

  • (j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

Subject for interpretation imo. No one took a flag and used it as the material to construct a uniform.  This is the flag superimposed over a uniform using graphics software.  No flags were harmed in the making of this tribute to America.

I agree.  Thank you.

Definitely up for interpretation. I take that as an actual flag being used for a uniform or garment.  Doesn't the US use designs like these in the Olympics?

 

I think we're getting off topic though.  I hope everyone e has a safe and happy 4th!  Happy birthday, USA! :)

      Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

      Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM. Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so. Other Series This Weekend FAU @ East Carolina Memphis @ South Florida UTSA @ Charlotte Wichita State @ Tulsa I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

      Thought I'd share some good news in this thread. Taller than Lampkin and NCAA Tournament experience.

      We’re not alone

      I read somewhere before the teams were even seeded that Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston were a step above every other team. There was some metric/stat they showed to back up the statement. So, yes, I think those teams were accurately seeded…though TT almost had something to say about it.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unt-womens-basketball-team-looking-at-nearly-complete-rebuild-after-players-head-to-portal/article_cf093cbf-6ff4-44de-a70d-4f4892172cb2.html Brett Vito is reporting in his article that Hardaway, Deck, Wooten, McGrew, and Duncan are all in the portal. He reported also that Johnson left towards the end of the season. I knew I didn't see her any longer, but I thought maybe injuries, but it turns out she left like Abou did a few years back. Brackens went into the portal and has since landed at Tarleton State. The only people he says that are coming back are Tac, who was injured all season, Chania Price, and Talley.
