In Illinois, the IHSA patch goes on the left sleeve. Many of the officials have been placing the flag on the right sleeve. At the state tournament last year, the IHSA made officials remove flags from their right sleeves. They explained that the field of blue is supposed to be over the heart and that unless you have a flag with the field to the right, you couldn't wear it on your right sleeve.

I also noted that our military has started wearing a flag on the right sleve of some BDU's with the blue field to the right.

I'm retired Air Force so the next trip I make to a base will include a trip to clothing sales to get a handfull of those reversed field flags.
