As long as we are on flags, my hard and fast rule with my crew is NO flags showing! I think it looks very unprofessional to have a flag showing. A flag hanging out of a pocket always reminds me of a mechanic with a grease rag hanging out. At the first state final that I worked, the state supervisor said, "I don't want to see any flags out there today." It took me a moment to figure out what he meant.
We are officials. We carry flags. Everyone knows we have flags. Shrug.

I will never tape a flag or purchase a white tip flag and the ball of my flag sticks right out over my belt. Big deal.

If you are tlaking about entire flags showing out of pockets, I agree.
