Flags on Shirts

I know I might get absolutely roasted for this, but I'd like to find out others' opinions of flag patches on shirts (obviously, the US flag). I'd rather not have them on there. No, I'm not unpatriotic and wear a flag lapel pin with sport jackets and suits. I even have a flag t-shirt I wore quite a bit until it became unwearable for anything other than mowing the yard.

Aside from the fact that different organizations want the flag placed in different areas on the shirt, I'm not sure its necessary. I think it would look great on the NBA shirt (due to the blue), but doesn't look that good on the black/white shirts or even the amateur grey shirts. No, I don't think that its bad to display the flag -- quite the opposite. Nor do I think being in favor or disfavor of flag wearing has to be politically based.

What's your view: favorable, unfavorable, or indifferent? Let's not get into a political discussion here. Wearing a flag doesn't mean you fully support certain things nor does not wearing it mean you don't support those things.
