We can only wear the flag on the right shoulder because a state patch is on the left shoulder. The common flag worn (in football mind you) is the golden bordered flag. I was told (but never shown) that this was not proper because of the way the flag is going if there was a pole attached to the flag. Apparently the flag is "retreating" instead of going forward (in the same direction you are walking for example). I honestly do not know the answer to this, but this is more reason I do not put a flag on any other officiating uniform. It seems like people cannot agree on which is proper and my state has not told us either way which is allowed or not.
