From the US flag code:
Quote:
The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
Those of you who have been wearing ASA hats with the flag on them for a couple of years... is the flag soiled (sweat stained, stained from infield dirt, etc.?)
Quote:
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.
Officials' uniforms are athletic uniforms, and are not in any of the allowed categories. This is a commonly ignored part of the code (many athletic teams added the flag after 9-11), but that does not make it right.
