So the Under Armor decided to play-off on a 'Band of Brothers' by creating 'Band of Ballers' t-shirt. It illustrates a simulation of American flag raised during the victory at Iwo Jima; but instead, using an erection of a basketball stand.
Do you find it offensive or creative? Do you agree that Under Armor should pull the sale of this design? Thank you for your responses.

The job of an artist is to be provocative. This isn't profane in anyway. But people become emotional about their symbols, right? I've seen this same image involving a cross. Artists like to use symbols from pop culture and insert their idea to promote or contradict emotions. Not sure what the artists is attempting to convey? Is it speaking about the sport, the athlete, the roots of the game, or the concept of team player...or is attempting to make a socioeconomic statement?
