I was unaware of this, but it seems that Federal Law stipulates that the American Flag cannot be displayed for commercial advertising purposes. I wonder if Old Navy tees bearing the American Flag are subject to this restriction. Perhaps it’s something that’s overlooked?

I think, in this case at least, these tees are fine. There’s definitely nothing wrong with displaying your national pride!!

I went out of my way to go to the Old Navy store in Ft. Lauderdale (Hollywood, FL). They never heard of the promotion. They did have lots of flag shirts left for $5. (Cheap see through shirts that were barely worth $1 anyway).

We went to our Old Navy store in Tucson, AZ and asked about the promotion. The sales clerk stated that they are ‘taking down’ the sale from online and ‘maybe you can get that deal online’. No $1 sale here.

I called one Old Navy and was informed that the tee shirts were on-line only. Called another and was told that the were in Canada only????? Tee shirts with the American flag in Canada only? I had to laugh at that one.

I went to the Old Navy store in Clackamas, OR, first thing this morning. They are not honoring this sale. They claim it was posted without their knowledge nor their approval

We went to Old Navy in Milford, CT this morning and asked about the promotion. They said it had been cancelled but would honor it anyways, so, we purchased 5 t-shirts for our family for $5

I guess Old Navy is trying to boost July 4th t-shirt sales in Canada because that is where this sale is going on. Where in Canada do they celebrate the independence of the United States??

I just called our store in Birmingham AL and the sales associate said the $1 t-shirt sale had been canceled. He said the 4th of July t-shirts are $5.

Old Navy at Chapel Hill Mall, Akron Ohio stated the $1 sale was cancelled because of chain-wide inventory levels … presumably people are simply too patriotic this year? (which is a great thing imo)

I called OldNavy online. It is definitely only in Canada, and it’s not our flag and really nothing to do with Independence Day.
