I’m not talking like 10 of them, just one. Even for historical reasons.

Edit: I suppose you could answer any way you like it, but fwiw I meant like an American flag. 🇺🇲

    Can’t go wrong with classic red white and blue.

    All thin lines are cringe no matter the color. I don’t mind the black/transparent decal stickers of flags. I think some people read too deep into those, it’s just the easiest to match any car paint scheme. Not a fan of the distressed ones like what you showed though.

      I mostly see the black ones on people’s clothing. Some have been fitted into the punisher skull shape. The distress is very much the point that they are trying to convey: that liberal America is destroying the once great USA and now we have only what’s left. I wonder if those will now fall out of fashion after Trump’s election? Although they didn’t seem to last time so I dunno.

      Yeah I don’t like the insertion of any lines whatsoever for any purpose, since it seems to fly in the face of the wording of the law pertaining to flag, according to my reading of it. Like I get the sentiment but that’s a slippery slope and surely there’s a better way to convey that, like taking a whole flag and adding something adjacent to it, without disrupting the internal integrity of the shape.

        Yeah fuck anything punisher skull. And honestly I think the artificially worn look is just a vibe some people like, like pre ripped jeans I guess lol. I mean the national anthem is about a flag going through hell and still flying so it’s not totally unpatriotic from that angle. But def not my style

        I feel like if your cause or support group or whatever deserves a “line” flag then it should probably be it’s own flag anyway. Like I know some fire department guys that would wear thin red line stuff and I like the fire community and what it stands for but leave the american flag alone

          That’s a good way to put it: I support the cause (of honoring firefighters) but not the execution of that idea.:-)
