Don't let it.

The market will respond accordingly.

On a separate note, wouldn't it be REALLY REALLY COOL to give out Rifleman patches that look like that for next year's Patriot Day event?

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."

I would have bought a pair! They look really cool.

Won't be buying anything NIKE any time soon.

I haven't bought a pair of Nike anything since Kap's antics.  That wasn't easy for me, because I've been a huge Nike fan since I was a kid.  I always had at least a couple pairs, plus running/workout clothes. 

They might've been able to win me back, but that seals it.

On the bright side, Brooks makes better running shoes, and they're not afraid to honor Old Glory.

And I'd LOVE a patch like you're describing.

Friends,

Discussion about potential new patches is fine, unfortunately this thread contains modern politics (icebergs) and violations of Intellectual Property.

If you want to mock up a design of something and send it to one of the AOC members, we're happy to look at it. However, we must protect our trademarked items.

Please please... I don't want to lock someone's thead.

Thanks for the caution Maximum...  I knew this was close to the line when I posted it.

It just hits so close to home.  It really took my breath away to read that. 

I take the blame for this thread coming so close to the line of politics... if not crossing it...

When your government tells you who the enemy is, that is war.

When you figure it out for yourself, that is revolution.
