After Nike pulled a Fourth of July shoe featuring Betsy Ross’ flag for the 13 American colonies, Nine Line Apparel, a Georiga, veteran-owned company, has released a t-shirt highlighting the flag.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Air Max 1 sneakers were nixed when former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick told Nike he and others believe the flag is offensive due to its connections to slavery.
In recent years, the flag has been appropriated by far-right groups to represent a time when slavery was legal in the United States.

I'm not clicking the link but you can always count on some contrived response to shite like nike pulled.
Some outfit or two will see a chance at a quick money grab. They'll rapidly sell some t-shirts, usually to the "working man's PhD" crowd. They'll say some stupid shite like "hey nike these colors don't run!" Or whatever the frick else.
Anyway, these t-shirts are like "freedom fries" you can wear.

Literally the first time I've ever heard of one our nation's early flags being co-opted, and just in time to use that as a defense for Kaepernick's behavior. What are the odds?
