Kilt Police

Is it just me, or does the imagery on the two "badges" seem to be backwards to nationalities represented?

I mean, the Canadian guy has a badge that very clearly has American Eagles on it, and the guy from Florida has the badge with the Crown on top.

Shouldn't they trade?

You know, that would be a really funny badge to have made up, and have in your wallet. If you see people dressed horribly wrong, you could flash the badge, and tell them not to wear the pleats in the front.

...

This would rank up there with when I made up business cards identifying myself as Corporal Lee Enfield of the Royal Canadian Marine Corps. My buddy was Sergeant Carl Gustav, also of the Royal Canadian Marine Corps. It was AMAZING how many people didn't catch on... >

Some of us are old enough to have used Enfield's and Karl Gustav's during our time in the Forces. That's a great joke!

Let's raise some cash these badges and hold some kilt police balls. Note to Xena you are mistaken, McMurdo's badge clearly displays our beloved flying beaver and GeorgeBlack7's crown is in respect to the newly crowned King Barrack.

Nope, sorry. It's in the regs. Kilt Police don't have balls.

Oh! That's what they are! Of course, it's so obvious to me now!

But seriously, if anyone has any connections to getting stuff like this made up...

Maybe we could have two designs, one for those who live under a Constitutional Monarchy, and one for those in a Republic?

I don't mean in this piece of artwork but if it was made into a badge, It would also be illegal in the UK to use the word POLICE without an Act of Parliament.

OK I am being a spotter I'll get my coat...

The Kilt Police do have a theme song (previously posted)

Can you tell me why the pleats are swinging?
Kilts have been around for hundreds of years
I've been on X Marks since Wednesday morning
Wednesday morning can't believe my ears!

Kilt police are looking through my closet
Kilt police are ironing out any crease
Rocky at USA Kilts has my deposit
X Marker, show your kilt, it's Kilt police!

Panache taken silly by the many
Panache taken serious by a few
Kilt police are sponsored by Matt Newsome
Matt knows what kilt hose are best for you!

Kilt police- I’ll heed your calling
Kilt police- to tartan I’ll be true
Kilt police- my heritage I’ll be recalling
Recalling for you

Loyal as any freedom loving Scot
I heed the words of the clan chief
Tell me of green hills never to be forgot
Am I in trouble with the Kilt police?

Kilt police are looking through my closet
Kilt police are ironing out any crease
Steve at Freedom Kilts has my deposit
X Marker, show your kilt, it's Kilt police!

They will never understand our Forum
They'll never understand the Kilt police
Kilt police are looking for a quorum
Tartan wool is bolder fabric than fleece

Let me dress in noble Highland Attire
Let me be dress like Hamish across the sea
On the flag pole raise high the Saltire
Let me go on a kilted shopping spree

Kilt police- I’ll heed your calling
Kilt police- to tartan I’ll be true
Kilt police- my heritage I’ll be recalling
Recalling for you

With apologies to Leonard Cohen's "Jazz Police"

Cheers

Jamie
