    Were people in Europe wearing shirts with American flags before?

    I wouldn’t think so.

      There are also a lot of shirts being sold here in Europe that have names of states or cities printed on them (such as California, Los Angeles, New York, etc).

      I have one, with a small flag. If it’s in the stores, you buy it without much thinking. People in my area also wear Canadian flags, Scottish flags or the Union Jack on their clothes. For example. They’re just quite recognizable. Simulacra in the Baudrillard sense, even.
