Yikes.
"The 13 stripes surrounding their logo represent the earliest American colonies, while seven stripes along the torso are a unique addition to help complete the look of a flag."
I'll give EA credit for thinking outside the box and having some fun with this, but hopefully these jerseys remain in the digital world.
Per EA, the jerseys are available in HUT mode today.
