* As noted above, this is a common occurrence in ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'', but this happens most often with American characters like The Rigany or Mr. American (whose mask has the flag pattern, making this another literal example).

* Pictured above is Bandit Keith from ''Anime/YuGiOh''. The [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries abridged series]] takes this and provides both the page quote and the [[TropeNamer trope name.]]

** Recent issues introduced American Chibi, a SuperDeformed anime character come to life, who wears a stars and stripes design on her costume.

-->'''"Wee" Hughie''': ''Brits just get a wee bit suspicious when folks start wavin' flags, you know?''\\
'''Mother's Milk''': ''Don't blame 'em. Mattera fact, you might say the more you wave it, the less it means. Less you think about what it means. Start wrappin' shit up in it, wear it like some kinda goddamn suit...? Hell. Pretty soon, it don't mean nothin' at all.''

-->"Don't make me take off my pants."

* Music/LadyGaga's video for 'Telephone.'
* Keith Flint in Music/TheProdigy's video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw Firestarter]]".

* In the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association, Team America, a tag team duo consisting of Heidi Lee Morgan and Misty Blue Simmes, would wear tights that looked not unlike the chorus line girls for the USO shows in Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger.

* ''VideoGame/PaydayTheHeist'': Dallas the professional heister's mask. In ''VideoGame/{{Payday 2}}'', you can make stars and stripes of different colors by using the mask crafting system and a Stars and Stripes mask pattern.

* [[Webcomic/EverydayHeroes Lee Free]] (the oldest one) [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2111614/putting-the-big-s-in-shout-out/ gets all patriotic]] when talking about constitutional rights.

* In ''Comicbook/UltimateSpiderMan'' the Comicbook/UltimateMarvel version of the Kangaroo sports an open Union Jack vest over a sleeveless Southern Cross shirt.

* [[WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros José Carioca]] [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L7MTN8U_jtk/VL_n7vymVSI/AAAAAAAAXZM/9BHjc7DdWgg/s1600/1.gif is very subtle about it]], although not so subtle as to use the AMERICAN flag.
* Carla Veloso from ''WesternAnimation/Cars2''.
* Captain Brazil of the All-Captains Squad in ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperheroSquadShow''.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' villain Manchester Black (being a {{Gender Flip}}ped TakeThat at Jenny Sparks) always wore a Union Flag shirt under his trench coat. The ComicBook/{{New 52}} incarnation has it ''tattooed on his chest''. In ''ComicBook/SupermanAndTheAuthority'' and ''ComicBook/SupermanPhillipKennedyJohnson'' it's colour inverted: the blue and red are reversed and the white is black.

* Nigel Gearsley from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars 2}}''.

* In ''TabletopGame/FreedomCity: Atlas of Earth Prime'', the national heroine of the UK, Britannia, wears an outfit that reflects the Union Flag to the same extent as Captain Britain's, and also has the yellow-on-red lion rampant from his first costume. [[note]]A red-on-yellow lion rampant is the royal arms of Scotland, while three yellow-on-red lions passant are the royal arms of England. This could be an attempt to combine the two,[[/note]]

* In ''SSX 3'', Brit Moby Jones' default costume has him wearing a shirt with a dicolored Union Jack on it... and one of his helmets displays the Jolly Roger. But no American flags. One of his later costume options has him shirtless, revealing a giant Union Flag pattern tattooed on his entire upper body. That's one patriotic guy. And a tough one, too; it takes a real man to brave the tundra of Alaska, which is in America, without a shirt on just to show your national pride.
* Billy Kane wore overalls with a Union Jack on them in the original ''[[VideoGame/FatalFuryKingOfFighters Fatal Fury]]'' (and [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters KoF'95]]), and a sleeveless Union Jack shirt in ''Fatal Fury 2/Special''.

* One of the unlockable costumes of ''Videogame/TombRaiderLegend'' is a Union Jack shirt.

* Tom from ''Webcomic/KhaosKomix'' sometimes wear a torntshirt with a Union Jack on it.

* Mad Mod, the recurring EvilBrit villain on ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003''.

* In ''Westernanimation/MuchaLucha'', when trying to pick a theme for a new Luchador via throwing a dart at a wheel with various themes on it, the dart misses the wheel completely and ends up hitting a globe, sticking into England. They decide to just go with that and naturally the new wrestler both has a Union Jack on his costume and even goes by the name Union Jack.

* ''Comicbook/{{Northguard}}'' is another hero with a white maple on red outfit.

* Shu Todoroki from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars 2}}''.

* VisualKei arm bands with with a Rising Sun or Japanese Flag design are around, but I think they're actually sold more on sites that ship to America, or cater mainly to Americans, like Lolita Kisama. I made one with the rising sun and "Japan Land of The Rising Sun" written on it in Japanese.
* an early iconic look for Music/FrankOcean included a Rising Star bandana made by Supreme as a folded headband.

* Samurai Goroh from ''VideoGame/FZero'' wears a Japanese flag on his head, as does his son Daigoro. Good to see he's taking fashion tips from me, in America.

* pro-skater Chad Muska borrowed the design for his iconic skate deck that is still one of the best selling skate decks of all time.

* Kim Kaphwan from ''VideoGame/KingOfFighters'' has the yin and yang part on his uniform, while his student May Lee has it on her belt

Glatt (the ghostly form of Jschlatt) claims that he has the Mexican tricolour draped around his shoulders, which would likely be [[GameplayAndStorySegregation the more realistic interpretation]].

* In the ''LetsPlay/DreamSMP'', Mexican Dream (an AffectionateParody towards [[SouthOfTheBorder Mexican stereotypes]] played by Quackity) has the Mexican flag — or at least, a simplified version of it, since it takes place in Minecraft — painted over his Dream blob (or mask, depending on the interpretation).
