Remember this one.
In a horrendous misjudgment in 1996, British Airways rebranded its fleet and got rid of the Union Jack on its tail-fins -- to try to look more "international".

Considered unpatriotic, the move came at a disastrous time. Transatlantic aviation was under intense competition, with Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic snapping at the heels of BA. And the Union Jack was a big plus for American customers, who love their quaint British ephemera, and ditching it had the effect of anonymising the planes.

But surely the most hurtful effect of the blunder was that it handed BA's beardy rival an unprecedented PR coup, which he made full use of -- it didn't take long before Virgin's jumbos were proudly sporting their own Union Jacks and stealing the "Fly the flag" slogan.
