I work for an airline in the USA that hates the 3 Middle East carriers for flooding the global market with subsidized flights and aircraft, while also getting almost free fuel!
I usually have to get the training or leisure gear if I want to wear it over here!
Go full Etihad. Don't let "the man" bring you down!

Definitely NOT United on it, just no one!
And yes, unfortunately, that’s their name! BUT our colors are blue!!

Cheers lads. Saves me a wasted trip into town on my lunch.Yes, fairly sure it was gone when I was back in April.
The missus dragged me all about the shops and I didn’t see it where it had previously been located.

It’s not “the man,” as I’m in full agreement! They have been fully subsidized by their nation states and are helping restrict my career opportunities.Go full Etihad. Don't let "the man" bring you down!
One perfect example: The US Govt just awarded their Middle East flying contract (Flights from Washington Dulles to the ME for govt workers) to JetBlue, who can’t even fly internationally in their A320s!!!
That seems illogical until you realize JB has an agreement with Emirates in Dulles!!! So, while the US Govt LOOKS like they just gave the contract to a US carrier (as reqd by law!), they did, in actuality, give it to a foreign carrier!!! And, in the eyes of most, it was so they can use their positions to get bennies like free upgrades to the Emirates suites, etc... Previously, this contract was held by United, which then stopped the flights.
I have shirts with the Etihad sponsorship on, but I prefer them without.

Lol unlike many of the US Airline's who've run up huge debts and used Chapter 11 to avoid them...
