I like Avalanche's new uni, but the only thing that bothers me is the neck line. I wish that it was a normal straight across other than that little dip that they have. But overall I love it and I love the skirt.
 
Like I said, they don't prosecute-but it is in the code!

I come from a military family. Growing up, we had a flag pole out front. Every morning we raised and saluted the flag. Every evening we saluted as it was lowered. We properly folded the flag and stored it till the next morning.
 
When I was 6, we lived on base in sight of the flag pole. At 5:00 when Retreat played, I would run outside to the front yard (on the main drag) and salute the flag. One day my high school junior sister was given a ride home from school by a friend who when she saw where my sister lived asked her "Is that your little sister that runs out into the yard everyday at Retreat?" My sister came charging into the house and locked the door and asked our mother to please not let me go out front anymore during Retreat. Oh the joys of being the embarassing little sister. :p

We keep ours out all night but it has a spotlight. Eagle scout:)

I really like the balance of the uniform, how there's just enough of each color. Also, I LOVE the logo! Props SJS!
 
Wearing the US Flag (or printing it on clothing) is actually in violation of US Flag Code. Could get you a $100 fine or 30 days in jail. (They don't normally prosecute, but it is a law). It's considered desecrating the flag. So, while you're trying to be super patriotic by wearing a flag-you're actually desecrating it.

Here's the Code (from USFlag.org: A website dedicated to the Flag of the United
States of America)

3. Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag

Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign upon which shall have been printed, painted, or otherwise placed, or to which shall be attached, appended, affixed, or annexed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, or drawing, or any advertisement of any nature; or who, within the District of Columbia, shall manufacture, sell, expose for sale, or to public view, or give away or have in possession for sale, or to be given away or for use for any purpose, any article or substance being an article of merchandise, or a receptacle for merchandise or article or thing for carrying or transporting merchandise, upon which shall have been printed, painted, attached, or otherwise placed a representation of any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign, to advertise, call attention to, decorate, mark, or distinguish the article or substance on which so placed shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court. The words 'flag, standard, colors, or ensign', as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America.



Good thing American isn't from DC, or ever competes there. Bc from that wording, it seems its only applicable to those within the capitol's limits.
