Not to parse the rules as we so commonly do on this board, but technically it's wrong to wear the flag on athletic uniforms and it specifically states that in the United States Code. Title 4, Section 8j states,"No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart."
Just some food for thought...
