Should This Flag Fly?

|

Mike Tettleton’s firm, Lone Star Banners and Flags, has designed this banner, which seems to combine the notions of a certain local team and a certain Lone Star state. Mike tells me his Fort Worth firm designed the flag (he calls it the “Silver and Blue Texas Flag”), then intended to take it to the Dallas Cowboys to negotiate a deal with them. He also posted an image of it on his company Web site to gauge public interest. That’s where the Cowboys saw it as well (oops).  Not long after, Tettleton got a call from the Cowboys, asking him to take it down, because they hadn’t given him permission to market the flag. The Silver and Blue Texas Flag has since been pulled from the Web. What do you think, FrontBurnervians? Should this flag be allowed to fly?

UPDATE: For a right-side-up version of the flag, jump here.
