    It's not a gaff though.

    This color combo and layout has been used by the us military for badges and medals for a very long time.

    It's quite rare to not have red touch white

      The question I'm constantly asking myself, is this incompetence or Russian influence?

      The answer I usually come up with is "probably both".

      I see the design choice since the background is blue. But the answer is you change the background or separate the flag colors from it. You don't go transparent because the background is the color you want. It's a separate thing and it's always red-white-blue. This is like wearing a green tie if you're a weather person, except they're usually competent and do it on purpose.

      I'd throw the "porque no los dos" meme up here, but it was deported last week.

        Not always, several blue/white/red badges were issued for special forces during ww2

        It's incredibly uncommon, but yes it has been done before. I think it's unlikely they were referencing these incredibly uncommon medals.

          I had to click to the link to see what the issue was. The bald eagle coloration makes you not notice the bird's design!

            I think there are more serious things to write about the trump administration than a graphic design gaff

                    Like I said - In LA, people flying Mexican flags aren't fighting for American Democracy.

                    And in the Whitehouse, clearly they're flying Russian flags and not fighting for (but actively dismantling) American Democracy there.

                    I hate being politically consistent. There's no cognitive dissonance, but you still get...this.

                              Since when did California adopt the Mexican flag that I see all over the protests there? If you're America, and you're fighting for American values, fly the American flag.

                                This represents any other country with a similar color scheme. Like france, iceland, chile, costa rica, north korea and others. This is honesty a bunch of nothingness, but the left likes to rage over clickbait just as bad as everyone else.

                                Its classic design used by russia and russia alone. Thin stripes of russian flag colors.
                                If you live with your head under the sand far from russia you wouldn't know about it.
