    No, but I wouldn't go out looking for something with an Irish flag on it either.

    I would. I'd even go to the Shinner office and buy a new Sniper at Work poster while I'm wearing it.

    Its a cultural no-no. We sell product that comes with a little union jack sewn into the seams, we always have to cut them off the garments, as people object to them!

    Its not just us. The scottish have a problem with the union jack as well.

    I think it looks cool. I would feel weird wearing it around Dublin though.

    No.

    1) because people here are complete knackers. "what you wearing that for, you some kind of Brit? I'll knock fúck out of ye"
    2) I hate the look of it
    3) I wouldn't wear one with an Irish/Netherlands/Chinese/etc. flag on it as it is complete tack.


    Next.

    Would you wear a flag with the picture of some clothes on? You wouldn't last five minutes.

    A bit harsh? Okay some people dont like it - but would you really have an issue with someone else wearing it?

    I wouldn't wear it simply because I'd more than likely get killed for walking around wearing a Union Jack in North Dublin. And no I'm not British either.

    If someone did wear it, I'd have no problem with it.

    No. The butcher's apron is ranked somewhere alongside the nazi flag as regards having it on my person.

    I remember a 'fashion' trend a few years ago of wearing jumpers and T-shirts that said CCCP on them. Nice to see so many people condoned Stalins Purges, gulags, nuclear proliferation, putting war heads in Cuba, dividing Europe, shooting reformers and not holding free elections.

    It's really not at all hypocritical.:confused:
    English football club jerseys don't represent years of oppression.
