1. The flag code applies to flags, actual flags, like the ones you’d fly on a pole – not clothing with flag designs on them
2. The flag code does not apply to anyone except the government (you as a private citizen can do whatever you want, it’s a free country)
3. Even still, the flag code is a set of *guidelines*, it has no penalties or enforcement mechanisms whatsoever
Sorry I just hate when pretend internet lawyers get all fake upset about a law they don’t understand.
>One of the most common points of confusion: the Flag Code’s restrictions apply to actual United States flags, not to clothing or products that happen to feature a stars-and-stripes pattern. A T-shirt printed with red, white, and blue stripes isn’t a flag. A bandana with a flag motif isn’t a flag. Wearing these items doesn’t violate the code. The prohibition on using the flag as a costume means you shouldn’t cut up or drape an actual flag over yourself — it doesn’t extend to patriotic-themed apparel.

“You’re tacky and I hate you” – that one kid from school of rock
Tacky and terrible-looking outfits aside, there’s something else strange about this photo but I can’t white put my finger on it
Idiocracy is no longer just a movie.
Beyond embarrassing
Velour and polyester in that dc humidity is a choice
more fake patriotism
Unless they cut up actual flags to make the outfits it’s not a breach. It’s tacky and trashy. But the flag code refers to official flags. Not Chinese costumes.
I’ve never understood this argument about the flag code as it pertains to clothing. I grew up on military bases where the flag code was taken pretty serious.
It doesn’t say you can’t wear apparel that has the design of the flag on it, it means you can’t actually use the flag as a costume/outfit. So as long as they aren’t wearing a literal flag, there is zero conflict with the flag code.
Come on now, MAGA, pipe up – you have such strong, protective feelings about the flag, after all.
appropriately tacky as fuk
This is the least tacky thing about the whole event IMO
Of course it does.
Tacky Trump. Did you expect anything less?
This administration and a flag code breach?? You don’t say…
Trump is a god damn moron but I’m cool with the outfits.
Can this get any more gross? We already have a sporting event consisting of sweaty dudes wrestling while trying to kick each other in the fracas.
Complaining about flag themed attire as breaching flag code is idiotic. None of those outfits repurposed a flag. Complain about one of the million other substantial issues please
Just trump trash.
Flag code breaches went out the window after 9/11 when everyone started wearing flag pins on their suit lapels.
I’m sure Trump is planning his “accidental” walk in to their change room although they might be to old for him.
