American tartans

[OC Richard]

In Section 8 (titled 'Respect for flag'), part (d), it states: "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery."

Like this?



There's no limit to the stuff one sees done up in the flag, from socks and underwear to airplanes and cars, and shops that specialize in such. Does anyone ever prosecutes any of these violations of the law?



"part (j) starts with: "No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform." Interesting that the USA mens and womens soccer teams wear a quite flaglike uniform



The limits imposed by the nature of tartan means that actual stripes, not to mention stars, are impossible, and no red/white/blue tartan could be confused with the US flag.
