I don't. Never lost one (I hope I didn't just jinx myself). If you're prone to it, then do so.

Around here, flags on our uniforms are reserved for those that have served in the Armed Forces.

We ordered ours at our clinic two months ago and they haven't come in yet.....nice (sarc).
I ordered my in April (seriously), and I just received it 2 weeks ago.

The local board I don't work for has made it mandatory for all their officials (Varsity, at least) to wear the new shirts.

The board up north I work for only has made it mandatory to wear the new patch on the old shirt.

I only have a flag on one of my current shirts, and that's because I have a supervisor who requires it. I served 22 years, but never have felt the need to wear a flag on my shirt.

I have a blue ID card that symbolizes my patriotism. :D

We aren't wearing the new shirt as not enough folks got em in.

We were specifically told NOT to put the new patch on the old shirt, although, we have the patches......

I heard the new shirts be mandatory at the state tourney and then for all games next yr.

Like em?

As a military man yourself, you'll understand my answer. I don't care one way or the other, it's just another uniform to me.

Acknowledged. I just know a lot of folks aren't keen on them is all.

I just do what I'm told! ;)

Our area has adopted, "Pull three people from any area for any given night" philosophy, what are the odds of some refs having flags/no flags, pullover/zip up jacket, different shoes, etc. I felt a bit weird the other night, when my jacket failed to match my two partners.
I have a pair of glasses and sports goggles (in the same prescription as the glasses). Normally, I change to the goggles when I arrive on site and keep the glasses packed in the side pocket of my bad in a hard-shell protective case.

This weekend, however, I was halfway through my second game before I realized I was wearing my glasses instead of my goggles. At that point, I didn't bother changing.
