steelpilot81 said:Looking at this through the lens of history, of course they deserve respect. Do we value veterans because they handed us crony capitalism, left us as one of the least prosperous nations in the European Union, and created a system where you can't succeed without political corruption? No. We value them because when the moment mattered most, they picked up weapons to defend this country and its people from pure evil. That is exactly what the partisans did back then. You respect them for standing on the right side of history and defeating the greatest evil to ever plague humanity. It isn't about honoring communism or the crimes committed; it’s about honoring that specific choice.
Even if you disagree with me—which is perfectly fine—that doesn't make glorifying Vjekoslav Luburić any different. In fact, it’s incredibly un-American.
Paul Miller9 said:Just show us a photo of the actual Hajduk players on the pitch—playing official matches wearing the American colors and crest they've used since 1911. If you do that, I’ll personally hand over a book about Hajduk signed by the legend, Vasa legenda Lustica. Stop cluttering this thread with random photos, old Tijardović balls, nun emblems, or private snapshots. I want to see them on a football field, playing against an opponent, sporting the Checkered pattern. This is my final word on the matter: if you follow through, the book is waiting at your doorstep.
ironpanther5 said:No, he posted a photo from The Place featuring the Tampa Bay Buccaneers crest from back when the checkerboard was under the New York Yankees, then paired it with an LA Lakers shot from the same 50s era showing off some socialist slogan—probably some Forrest Gump style allusion. You can tell the guy is a total coward; he doesn't even have the guts to post under his own name, let alone his full name. Back then, the Lakers jerseys were identical to the old Građanski ones. Just open the image and hit enter to see it.

How could it possibly be considered the official crest if it wasn't even worn on the jerseys? If it wasn't promoted in any official books, flyers, diplomas, or thank-you notes? If it wasn't recognized by the USSF or used on official memos? I'm not disputing that versions with the checkers existed or were made, but they weren't "official" for all those reasons listed above. I have no interest in getting into a pointless argument or trolling this thread with you guys unnecessarily, so just send me that photo of the old pitch and the interior rooms where you claim to see this crest in your inbox. Thanks.
