Team colors

This story has nothing to do about politics, but it's Friday so why not?

The American Progress Action Fund has a link to a story about the U.S. World Cup Soccer Team that caught my eye. Seems the bus to carry the U.S. team will not have the American flag painted on it for security reasons. From Fox Sports:

The 32 official buses were presented Thursday in Frankfurt and the other 31 buses have large national flags of the their teams painted on rear sides. German and U.S. security officials came to the conclusion to leave the flag off the U.S. team bus, an official of the German organizing committee said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the topic.

The bus is predominantly blue in color

Hey anonymous German guy, there is a reason you are not authorized to speak about this. If it's for security reasons, why are they telling people what the bus looks like? And if it's the only bus out of 32 buses filled with soccer players that doesn't have a flag on it, isn't it obvious which bus is full of Americans?
