National Flags on T-shirts
We made some T-shirts for our student group with Chinese national flag pattern on it, according to our customers' request. This aroused a big discussion about whether it was allowed to use the national flag design for this purpose or not in our office. Cindy consulted our lawyer, and the answer was no.
I did a search on the internet and found that there were many T-shirts with national flags of other countries, and I did find few T-shirts with Chinese National Flag pattern on them. Almost all of them were Olympic-related, except one. This design split the Five-star national flag into two parts for lovers' clothing: the big star was on one T-shirt and the other four stars were on the other one. They had to stand together in order to make a Chinese National Flag.
What are we going to do with these T-shirts? Our lawyer suggested we ask our customers to wear it in their home country.
I did not know that it was not allowed to print Chinese national flags on clothes. I wonder why?
