Most wrestlers who wear American Flag tights are babyfaces, but who are some wrestlers who wore tights with that image (or imagery inspired by it) but were heels? Kurt Angle's heel runs come to mind.

They weren’t patriotic characters per se (with the exception of Scott debating with Chris Nowinski that one show) but Scott Steiner and Dolph Ziggler have sported flag patterns on their gear during some of their heel runs.

Does Kenzo Suzuki dressing up as Uncle Sam count?

Del Wilkes wasn't really a heel, but he played the heel role in '97 on shows from Canada, coming out in front of a hostile crowd just for the playing of the Star Spangled Banner.

Surely Jack Swagger did this at some point.

Despite being a heel at the time Mandy Rose wore a patriotic American Flag outfit at NXT World's Collide last year while wrestling Japanese Meiko Satomora and British Blair Davenport.
Cesaro I remember having an American Flag patterm on the side of his trunks during his heel United States Chmapion run in 2013 as they were putting over that he didn't America but more the people living in it. They later tied into him joining the Real Americans with Swagger and Zeb Colter.

I would say that the Florida Bros - including Kenskee, and Johnson and Jackson Florida - count.
Not Akira Hokuto though. She was mad(der than usual).

Ken Patera had "USA" and an Olympic logo on his singlet, along with stars and stripes along the straps.
Bob Roop also had stars & stripes on his tights when he was a heel.

I think Johnny Surname did it for a while in AAA along with changing his theme to Born in the USA

Not part of their ring attire, but the Fabulous Rougeaus waved those little flags constantly in promos and on the way to the ring.

After 9/11 The Iron Sheik knew it was a bad idea to wave a non-American flag in America, so st one of the ICP shows he went full over the top with it. Came out waving an American flag and wishing the crowd an unseasonal Merry Christmas and such, so he was technically still an insincere heel but it was so entertaining he became a face.
