"The mark in the promotion of Coors Light is not the Puerto Rican Flag, nor the logo of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade, Inc. It is an artwork created exclusively by Coors Light for this campaign, that integrates elements for the Parade's symbol such as an apple, a star, and red, white, blue and black colors" said a statement from Javier Gomez, a spokesman for the National Puerto Rican Parade, Inc

Here's The New Coors Beer Can That's Offending NYC Puerto Ricans [Published Business Insider - May 30 2013]

Coors is a sponsor of the city's annual Puerto Rican Day Parade, which will be held on Fifth Avenue on June 9. "It's a total disrespect to the Puerto Rican flag, Vincent Torres, a community organizer for Boricuas for a Positive Image, told DNAinfo. "The parade is turning into one big commercial where the Puerto Rican people are being pimped. The image shows a red and white striped apple, with a white star surrounded by blue, similar to the flag. The logo is surrounded by the phrase "National Puerto Rican Day Parade Inc." One of the themes of the parade this year is salud, or celebrating your health. The National Institute for Latino Policy said that associating the Puerto Rican flag with Coors Light is egregious." According to the National Institute of Health, Puerto Ricans struggle with high rates of alcoholism. "It's disrespectful and it's not a good fit," East Harlem Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito told DNAinfo. "When you are talking about a flag and what it represents, being linked to an alcoholic beverage is not reflective of what our culture symbolizes." The National Puerto Rican Day Parade denied the image was intended to represent the Puerto Rican flag or the parade's logo. Coors told the Daily News it demonstrated its official alliance and support of the organization. "Weve included a variation of the official National Puerto Rican Day Parade logo on our packaging, which incorporates an apple to symbolize New York, a star and red and blue colors as a demonstration of our official alliance and support of the organization," said MillerCoors spokeswoman Karina Diehl."
