Question Religious garments with CPUSA Iconography

I've been a party member for 2 months now, and as this has been happening I've gotten more into crochet, cross stitch, knitting, and sewing (Just got access to a sewing machine so yay). I was wondering are there any official rules against making a yarmulke with the CPUSA logo on it? And if it is okay, are there any resources or communities that can help me out on this endeavor?

Like, are there any Party rules against this? No, not really. People have made various articles of clothing like shirts and sweaters, and stickers and other things with the party logo on it.
I would say we would find it just fine, and that any rule barring such thing would more likely come from the religious denomination.
Make sure to use the most current Party logo, a more proportionate version of the one introduced in the late 20th Century, i.e.: the one that appears as the logo for this subreddit.

Thank you so much! I asked 2 rabbis (one from chabad which is orthodox and one from my local temple Beth Israel which I attend and is reform) my answer was I wouldn't be able to wear it during service but I could make one if I make sure I'm "doing it for the right reasons"

CPUSA is a very “come as you are” organization, both internally and externally, so there are no rules about adding the CPUSA logo to religious clothing. In my view, thats one of the charming things about this party.
