Just my opinion

My opinion is that the flag should not be worn on the uniform. The U.S. Flag Code states that the flag should not be worn as an article of clothing or on an article of clothing (it makes specific reference to 'athletic uniforms/costumes') with the exception of a flag patch for police, fire fighters, EMT's, and members of patriotic organizations (ie. VFW).

If you are going to have flags, I would recommend making it mandatory per crew. If one of the three (or two) people is uncomfortable wearing it, have no one wear it (similar to all having Byron or V-neck collars a few years back). Also, the proper location would be the left sleeve.
