VHSL "uniforms"

But it's also unenforceable.

After 9/11, the US Flag could be found on virtually every athletic uniform being worn in the professional and amateur ranks. Nobody that I'm aware of filed a lawsuit claiming it was against the law.

I support any uniformed organization that wishes to display the Flag. But that's because I spent 30 years in the military.

The official ASA hat still has a small Flag on it, doesn't it?

Back on point, I'm not too happy that I now have to buy a specific hat and shirt to umpire high school games here. I already have three shirts that I've ironed on the VHSL patch that I'll have to essentially throw away. And what the heck was wrong with plain navy hats that I use for multiple organizations?
