Fixed the flag

I have read/heard/seen so many instances where people do not follow US flag code. For example:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/8
(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.
I think every US professional sports team breaks this.

I think that I have been pretty outspoken on my opinion about people wearing the flag… I’m okay with a pin, a patch for appropriate uniforms and athletic uniforms for athletes in international competition. But the fat slob drinking a beer and wearing a flag at a bbq? No. Hats? No…
But you also know that I have a love of hideous shirts. I have recently run across a shirt that I am having trouble deciding on. Does this cross the line?

Depends on which line your'e talking about. Poor taste, obnoxious, ostentatious, ugly? Yeah that line is def crossed.
But there's really no actual depiction of the flag, is there? Yeah, there's red & white stripes, a blue field. There are stars.
But nothing clearly a flag.
That line is not crossed.

Speaking of the Flag Code
Oh, Hell No…
That breaks at least 3 codes and possibly more.

Saw that. It’s being justified by claiming the “real” flag is atop the building, centered and highest.

Irrelevant. It’s not a part of the grouping.
