Would you wear clothes with the British flag on it?

I seen a photo yesterday on facebook, of a top someone bought, it has a huge uk flag on the back. I personally wouldn't touch it....

darrcow

i would, god save the queen

Magnetics

No I'd rather tipex over the British flag and then paint in a classy tri-colour

Reebok classics 101

SCOOP 64

Looks cool.

kowloon

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

lazygal

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

artanevilla

Personally no. But would I judge someone who did? Yes, yes I would.

Wouldn't wear clothes with any flags on them

OneArt

I only wear things with the Seal of Panem on them.

Oryx

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.

Cienciano

No. But I wouldn't wear clothes with any flag on it.

DylanII

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

3ndahalfof6

Yes if it was on fire.

weemcd

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.

DylanII

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

Peregrine

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.

Gatling

Reminds me of the guy who posted in bargain alerts sportsdirect .com thread, oh everyone should be informed that mike Ashley owner of newcastle united fc and part owner of rangers fc owns sportsdirect .com Irish people shouldn't buy from the website

Bleedin weirdos

Besides Reebok are German owned

Micky Dolenz

In before "It's the union flag unless it's blah blah blah blah"

/pedantic.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

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

Killed by someone wearing a Chelsea or Man U jersey.

It's ironic but yes Man U jerseys usually.
Hypocrites

I'd wear one if I wasn't in Ireland to be honest

Praetorian Saighdiuir

No

Sunnyisland

It's about as cool as discovering that your missus is suffering from blue waffle.

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.
English football club jerseys don't represent years of oppression.

dlofnep

No - I am a dedicated follower of fashion. Wearing the Butcher's Apron is so last season.

simply simple

does a sign on the front or back make any difference to you?
plz free yourself from all those chains and boundries, ireland belongs to irish, doesnt matter if obama had ancestors here or someone has a british flag on his T shirt. Anger and Fear has to be left behind.

DesperateDan

I had a pair of these for a while, definitely one of the cooler pairs of shoes I've owned. But I'm Scottish. And a big fan of The Who.

herisson

No, i wouldnt. I dont think it looks good at all, personally. I wouldnt wear something with an Irish Flag on it either.

seven_eleven

Yes, I would. No problem at all. As long as it isnt screaming in your face.
I would wear any flag really as long as it wasnt too prevalent. i.e taking up the entire shirt etc.

also, if I was in Northern Ireland I wouldnt for obvious reasons. But I wouldnt find myself there anyway.
If you wouldnt wear for reasons other than not liking the look/fashion style of it then you probably need to grow up a bit.

Yeh because that's what they were doing. Stalin wasn't the Soviet Union's only leader you know?

Would a Jew wear a swastika?

fryup

gerry adams doesn't seem to mind

Jogathon

I wouldn't wear an English rugby/soccer jersey.

But that's a Jack Wills hoodie, I like Jack Wills stuff, great quality casual clothes and fantastic sailing gear. I'd probably pick a hoodie that didn't have the flag on the back but don't really see the big deal. It's a brand, you're not pledging allegiance.

Mint Sauce

No. For two reasons, i. I'm not British, ii, I quite like my face and dont need that kind of unwanted attention from the nations/islands minority.

I do have an England football jersey, but only wear that in the security/privacy of my own home.

Would German Jews wear their country's flag? That is a more suitable question, the swastika was the emblem of the Nazi Party, not an entire country.

Yes because the teethless teenagers who get all butthurt about the Union Jack(or the "English flag" as they call it) know all about the years of oppression.

LawlessBoy

Its just Jack Wills stuff in general, a few celebs throw a hoodie or two on and everyone goes mad for it! Also hate them Ralph Lauren bodywarmers with the union jack plastered across the chest! Wouldnt wear anything with a union jack on it!

Those boys had balls. I wouldn't wear it but not for any other reason other than I don't like it. The English flag of st George I like and would wear.

Well, most people on the island have some idea that Britain once ruled Ireland, so they have the jist of it. Even if they don't, it still, doesn't make them hypocritical.

byhookorbycrook

No, have rejected some Reebok shoes because of this.

That would be the effect of the brick on the back of the head, a well known cause of feeling weird.:(

ScumLord

I wouldn't wear something with a big union jack on it. But then I wouldn't like to wear something with any flag on it. I just want plain unbranded stuff these days. I don't want to my clothes making statements or imparting any information other than I'm clothed.

I'm pretty sure I have clothes with small union jacks on them.
