Seeing red over green.

Veteran’s groups are rightfully upset over this planned cover for next week’s edition. Not because Time did away with its trademark red, but obviously, the famous Iwo Jima imagery. Stuff like this, and things 9/11-related have shown up in other countries. But a cover like this here enters the creative No-Fly zone Ernie talks about. Maybe I’m the jerk though. So, since we’re in an election year, I’ll just let the people decide: would you go with this kind of solution?

Jock Magazine. 1969. 4 Mets hoisting the pennant on a pitching mound. Nobody complained, but the age of whining hadn't begun.
At this point, though, most of Time's readers probably don't even know the derivation or significance of the reference.
