Below one sees that the NFL (National Football League) and MLB (Major League Baseball) are proud “sponsors” of anarchists, an essential component of any radical wardrobe. I wonder about the teams. There are also some uses of head scarves found in the Middle East (does anyone know what the light green one represents?)
