Question

Ok, I just want to make sure I am right since my first college game is Saturday night (D3 womens)... The US flag is on the left sleeve 1 inch above the black cuff, right?

Thanks.

The stars go toward your heart.

I was wearing a new shirt with "pre-sewn" patches during a game recently and was notified after the game by a veteran that the stars should always be closest to your heart. Unfortunatly, mine was not. Live and learn..

The flag goes on the left sleeve. Unless your assignor tells you something else, that is the way the NCAA wants it. It says all that on Mick's post from the NCAA directly.

Help me out here. If you are wearing the flag on the left sleeve, how could the stars not be "closest to your heart" without being upside down?

Inside out.
...Or nearest the back of the heart.

The flag looks like it is waving backwards as you move. Blue field to the front of your body.

Most flags have the blue field to the upper left of the flag.

Flags designed to be worn on the right sleeve have the field in the upper right -- so it looks like it's flying from a pole as you run forward.

Um - stars are towards the front of the body (I guess that's closest to the heart). That was developed from the tradition of painting flags on airplanes with the blue field facing the front of the plane which, of course, comes from how a flag naturally flies on board a naval vessel.
