Honestly, I've never understood the reasoning behind position plackets on the back. If they want to put it on the front shirt pocket so a coach can know he's yelling at the right guy [/wink], then that's fine. But for the most part, the only people that really care which side the HL/LJ is on or how the defensive backfield is configured already know who goes where.

Flag
Why doesn't NASO or someone make it mandatory to sew a US flag on all uniforms? Think it would be a great move, and I know many already have it on their shirts.

Double stick carpet tape actually worked better then velcro. I do have an opinion on NFHS officials wearing plackets, and that would be I would not want to see it as a requirement. |

As for the flags... I've never really seen the connection between sports and patriotism, other than the tendency of the masses towards blind loyalty. Our association wears flags, so I wear one proudly. (Well, except that it's on the back of the uniform, which is just stupid. It should either be over the pocket or on the left sleeve.) But if our association didn't wear flags, it wouldn't bother me any. |

I vote that flags be taken off ALL officiating uniforms. I'm as patriotic as they come, and I'd rather not deal with it. It causes problems with crews in all sports.

The "new" look with the flag on the right sleeve facing backward looks terrible and in my opinion, is disrespectful. The field of blue should be in the upper left, as you're facing it.
Located on the pocket (over the heart) is the best location. |

See Air Force One: http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/air-force-one-1.jpg The same concept applies to uniforms. |

Look at the photo of the plane, if the union was not on the right it would appear that the flag would be flying with the stripes side attached to the pole. Also I do not see why flag patches should be displayed on the uniforms of players or officials of any sport. What is the connection between sports officials and patritoism? |
