The subject of the image is fine so a simple qualswap would work but since I don't see a better one.... perhaps other suggestions?

1, 2, 3 and this one could still make use of the current caption

Also there's nothing restricting this to only American flags.

(Note: I would prefer we consider only the less provocative examples, please.)

1.1 or 1.4 for me, pending someone finding a better-quality version of the current.

This is going to be a tough one ... I can't stand images of semi-nude women at all.

That said, my personal objections aside, I approve of 1.1 the most, since it seems the least "bikini and also a flag" to me.

[up] Well what about one that's not on a woman? Or this?

EDIT: Yes I just realized how awkward that sounded.

"How about one not being worn?" would have been better wording. No, don't change it now, let your bad wording stay.

BTW, your "not American" flag is still an American flag. Just... the Confederate flag.

Okay, 5.1 or 5.2 are the only good options, everything else is awful.

[up][up] well that's not really a flag bikini. That's a picture of a flag bikini on a t-shirt…WITH A PICTURE OF A FLAG BIKINI. grin

Feel like this could go down a pervy dirt road and hit a porn elk so let's see if we can't crowner this already.

[up][up][up] Subtle, they are. Gotta love the convenient locations on the top as well.

[up][up] [awesome]

As far as things from actual works go, I like the Katy Keene example on the trope page; it's much more tame than most of the other suggestions, has a clever theme, and can actually be potholed to something.

Well sure if someone wants to draw up that crowner but it shouldn't include the options which for some reason happen to not be bikinis, feel the "bi" part of "bikini" is important when talking about them (I know the bi part doesn't mean two but bikini is defined as a two piece clothing garment).

[up] The trope is about flag swimwear, not just bikinis...the title's too narrow.

The trope description specifies that it doesn't have to be a literal bikini.

I blame the title and that narrow description then, its not exactly clear on it meaning any and all swimwear with a flag on it.
