My first inclination is that, without being too non PC, her flag has many more colors (bright) than red, white, and blue...
Secondly, she may indeed have to had permission from state athletic commission for us to wear them?! While working with her directly for boosters, she is insanely inept at her job, and drops the ball on many things. If she did need permission for athletic commission, she did not do so. Many other schools across the state has worn the jerseys in support! Was a very bad look for our program!
We ended up losing 28-20 against a single wing team. 3 yards and a cloud of dust all night long. TOP was around their 40 minutes, to our 8. Got flat out punched in the mouth and could do nothing about it.
