No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
[…]
(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.

Flag code isn’t law. Also they didn’t use a flag for clothing. No flags were harmed in the making of their outfits.

Doesn’t have to be law to be a stupid decision. Conservatives love to show “respect” to the flag, which the flag code outlines how to do. If you then toss those guidelines to the side whenever it’s beneficial to your argument, you’re not really respecting the flag, legality aside.

The guidelines don’t apply because it’s not a real American flag. As I cited the legion says it’s not an issue.
Funny how lefties don’t even know what an American flag is.
