Also, you know... the US Flag Code, the ultimate source for what it means to "respect the flag." As per subsection 3, Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag:
Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign upon which shall have been printed, painted, or otherwise placed, or to which shall be attached, appended, affixed, or annexed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, or drawing, or any advertisement of any nature; or who, within the District of Columbia, shall manufacture, sell, expose for sale, or to public view, or give away or have in possession for sale, or to be given away or for use for any purpose, any article or substance being an article of merchandise, or a receptacle for merchandise or article or thing for carrying or transporting merchandise, upon which shall have been printed, painted, attached, or otherwise placed a representation of any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign, to advertise, call attention to, decorate, mark, or distinguish the article or substance on which so placed shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court.
I'm from Stanford. The commentor is right, but also they approved the logo 5 days later anyway. None of that ended up mattering because it turns out that logo was plagiarized and the College Republicans had to pull it back.

You know, I'm starting to think that these blind nationalists take the "ignorance is bliss" aphorism a bit too literally

It's funny how the people who raise the biggest ruckus about "respecting the flag" are usually the ones who have flag-print underwear or t-shirts.
