I would not call it stupid at all. I have had coaches talk about what they think you were going to do by looking at what you reached for. The is the reason I do not think you should stick your flag in your back pocket (Maryland-Northern Illinois comes to mind several years ago). It is much harder for those to see what you are grabbing or if anything. Not to say this solves everything, but I see the purpose by doing this as nothing else we wear is yellow. I also think it looks better than a flag hanging out of your belt all the time. Also I wear two flags on my belt and it looks like you are gunning for people if you have multiple flags clearly seen. And as a BJ is is very common I will have two flags on a given play considering my position and the nature of the position.

Peace
Your opinion. I think it's idiotic. If I reach for a flag, it's going on the ground.

I've taped mine for 2 years now, but only because I like the weighting better. I haven't found a weighted flag with the right balance until I took an old flag and some electrical tape and experimented a bit.
