Lumi is appearantly quite kind. I wouldn't be caught dead in anything that hideous. I'll keep my "welcome to Estonia" shirt thanks.

If a crime has been committed here, it's not exactly a hanging offence.
Go easy on the poor stiff who is struggling along as best he can, just like the rest of us.

You are basically saying that the Estonian flag is hideous. i am appalled by your comment. These sweaters represent our country. No wonder you hid your identity!

1. How did you connect the sweater with the flag? The use of blue, black and white does not make something beautiful.
2. The sweaters represent neither Estonia nor Canada. Country may be represented by its flag but the sweater is no flag.

If the sweaters bear the flag, and you say the sweaters are hideous it is natural to connect the two.

and OF COURSE they represent the country of Estonia.. does a Nike sweater with a Nike swoosh not represent Nike? It seems as though you are just looking for something to complain about!

FYI, I haven't seen or examined the sweater myself, it may or may not be a nice piece of clothing. I am just surprised that you somehow try to connect a critique of the sweater with critique of the country.

It is absolutely NOT natural to connect the two. I can take a paper bag, slap a flag on it and pull it over my head. Does this make the bag beautiful? Of course not!

As for your point with Nike, you couldn't be more wrong. I agree that when Nike slaps their logo on something it represents the company. But taking a flag and slapping it to a piece of clothing does not give the clothing any "official status". Implying otherwise is illegal, as per "Reklaamiseadus" parag. 4 - Reklaamis on keelatud kasutada riiklikke ja riigiasutuste sümboleid ning Eesti lipu värvikombinatsiooni sellisel viisil, mis eksitavad üldsust reklaami eseme suhtes. Reklaam ei tohi jätta muljet, et esitatav teade sisaldab riigi soovitust või garantiid, kui see tegelikult puudub.

Maybe in your eyes that paper bag wouldn't be beautiful, but in my eyes anything that has the Estonian flag "slapped" on to is beautiful.

So if i "slapped" a flag onto a paper bag, and If someone said that paper bag was "hideous" i would of course be insulted. It bears the flag, and I would question what about the paper bag that person thought was "hideous" - the brown color? The paper texture? the flag "slapped" on? If not the flag, then i would supposed he would consider ALL paper bags "hideous" whether it had a flag on it or not. So this is why i connect the two. The simplicity of the design on the sweatshirts (the flag with Estonia written above) makes me question why these sweatshirts are considered "hideous." They are just plain sweatshirts - does this person not like sweatshirts in general? Perhaps you should take a look at the sweatshirts before you question any connections that I, or anyone for that matter, make. Thank you.

And by the way, no where in ANY of this did ANYONE say the sweat shirts were "official" - so thanks for quote but it was seriously unnecessary.

How about your comment 'these sweaters represent our country'? This is the line that got me pissed and wasting my time arguing with you. If you don't get my point about paper bag, how about I slap a flag on my hairy butt? Does it make my butt look beautiful?

Anyway, I don't want to waste any more of my time arguing about it. I wish you luck with your beautiful sweaters, I might even buy one myself. I'll make sure I shave and comb my hair when wearing one, so that no one gets any weird ideas about Estonia.
