Top Five Appropriations of the Black Flag Logo

By MATTHEW SINGER

Cat Flag

The Etsy shirt design that sparked a bazillion other Internet parodies. Bonus points for the "Meow War" spinoff.

Black Fag

Don't freak out: It's a gay Black Flag cover band from, ahem, "Mimosa Beach, Calif."

Four Restaurant

The logo for this

upscale Toronto restaurant

is probably a coincidence, though when you think of Black Flag, you imagine Henry Rollins annihilating a plate of grilled Atlantic salmon with quinoa, yes?

It’s Casual

This two-piece hardcore band—which also jacked the Ramones' logo for merch purposes—got to open for the reunited Black Flag in L.A. recently…and is probably about to get sued by Greg Ginn.

Undefeated Clothing

'Cause why stop at four, right?

SEE IT: Black Flag plays Hawthorne Theatre, 1507 SE Cesar Chavez Blvd., with Good For You and Piggy, on Thursday, July 18. 8 pm. $25 advance, $30 day of show. All ages.
