As a former Marine I have the American Flag on the back of every shirt I own. I th o might it was just me, until I recently attended a Portland Sea Dogs game. All the MiLB guys are wearing them. 

 

Former Marine?  I didn't think there was such a thing? Former Army, Navy, and Air Force yes...but not Marines correct?

Somebody said Marine. I'LL TYPE LOUDER AND SLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your service from a retired Chief Petty Officer. It's always good to work with other retired service men. I know they'll have ironed uniforms and shined shoes and that they take it seriously when we walk on the field, but have a good time when we get off the field as well. Semper Fi.

I use HSM's exclusively but I will say that looks really cool, love the flag its a nice touch, if you were a catcher you would be in a jam because you'd have to burn your mask if you droped it

Actually that is not true. Even if a flag touches the ground on American Soil it is not necessarily supposed to get burned.. It is a big misconception.

 

  he flag should never touch anything beneath it. Contrary to an urban legend, the flag code does not state that a flag that touches the ground should be burned. Instead, it is considered disrespectful to the flag and the flag in question should be moved in such a manner so it is not touching the ground.
