Displaying a flag like a banner, such as the American flag, is the typical way to show a flag. In fact, we've [[Seen It a Million Times]], in ''America''.
Line 301:
*** In another episode, Major Glory wore a flag ''[[Modesty Towel|towel]]''!
** Not to mention the dozens of other heroes with a flag motif to their costume, from Marvel's own Superpatriot, Defender, Jack Flagg, Free Spirit, Patriots I and II, the Spirit of '76, [[US Agent]], etc, to DC's Shield, Commander and Citizen Steel (not to mention the original Steel), Star Spangled Kid and Stripesy, Agent Liberty, Major Victory, and Uncle Sam himself.
** In ''[[Earth X]]'', Cap wears an actual flag in place of his uniform shirt (he still seems to have the old pants). He's probably not in violation of the Flag Code
** And the above-mentioned Jack Flagg actually literally wears the flag on his head as a bandana over his mouth. You know, Western outlaw style. And his hair is dyed red, white, and blue - though this actually makes it look like the ''French'' flag.
** Also, much fun has been had with the newest Captain America costume worn by James Buchanan Barnes. How to put this... many people call him "Captain Puerto Rico" because the suit's design indeed recalls the Puerto Rican flag more readily than the American.
Line 398:
* Texas State Guard members wear Texas flags on their uniforms, which are otherwise identical to active military and National Guard uniforms. In the civilian world, this is sometimes misconstrued into a belief that soldiers from Texas wear the Texan flag patches instead of American flags.
** For those who don't know, the Texas State Guard is a part of the Military Forces of Texas and is a sister branch to the Texas Army National Guard and Texas Air National Guard. Members of that organization where the same pattern uniform, but the flag and the branch tape (which says TEXAS STATE GUARD instead of US ARMY) are distinct so that anyone looking closely could tell that they are a state force instead of a federal one.
** Apparently at one point the Texas government wanted all non-Federalized Texas National Guard troops to wear the Texas Flag and a branch tape that said Texas Military Forces when they not Title 10, presumably because then they are under the state government's military chain of command until specifically federalized. The US Army shot that idea down very quickly<ref>
* Big Tex, the iconic (and huge) statue from the Texas State Fair, wears a button-up shirt patterned like the Texas Flag.
* Many products in Texas have a Texas flag somewhere on them, although generally as a part of the design and not as THE design.
Line 420:
* Jenny Sparx of ''[[The Authority]]'' wears a Union Flag T-shirt. In America.
* Brit-Cit Judges in ''[[Judge Dredd]]'' wear a uniform with is mostly the same as those of the Mega-Cities, except the Stars and Stripes belt buckle is replaced by one with a Union Jack.
* The [[Elseworld
* ''[[Superman]]'' villain Manchester Black always wore a Union Flag shirt under his trench coat.
Line 472:
* Tom from ''[[Khaos Komix]]'' sometimes wear a torntshirt with a Union Jack on it.
* Wasn't "Union Jackie" a character in ''[[Fans]]''?
* It's hard to tell, because the only color used outside of [[Dream Sequence
