[Mrs. HOOTER SLED]

I am team mom for my little guys baseball..........I picked up the uniforms 2 days ago......on the back of the neck area they put our flag......on one of the childrens jersys the flag is upside down!!!!!
When I showed this to the head guy...I asked ....don't you think people may think this is a disgrace to our flag???? He laughed and said well I hope not ....just tell him it's a lucky jersy!!!!!! WTF???????? Like he is not going to replace it!!!!
What do I do to get through to him I want a new one??????

[fourspeednup]

Flying an upside down flag is a sign of distress....just give the jersey to the worst player ;) :D :D

[BajaMike]

I think flying the flag upside down is a sign of distress....sometimes used by POWs.

This kid is a pretty good player considering he's only 7 or 8 yrs old.......

This is from Federal Law. The US Flag Code:
§ 8. Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

[Mr. Pixilated]

If he doesn't give in, then tell him that you'll tell all the families in baseball that he is anti-american and disraces our flag on childrens uniforms....
Or you can let the "B" kick his grille in...

[Her454]

That is F'd up Michelle! tell him you want it redone immediately..........END OF DISCUSSION! What an ass! :mad: :mad:
I agree, it should be redone no questions asked. I cant believe anyone with any sense would even let it go out like that much less make a stupid comment about it.

[Mrs. HOOTER SLED]

That's what I'm saying!!!!! Regardless if their just kids or not!!!!! :mad: :mad:

[uvindex]

I have a feeling it will be a BIG hassle !!!!!! I will do everything to get it done!!! But, you can tell he's the type who will ignore the whole thing!!!!If he even hints at ignoring, tell him that the local TV news "trouble shooter" reporters would LOVE to get their hands on this story. It wouldn't be an idle threat either, as the local TV news stations would LOVE to sink their teeth into a story about some unpatriotic idiot who had no respect for the American flag on BASEBALL UNIFORMS for KIDS for Pete's sake! Sheesh.

[Her454]

Tell him if he does not do it you anticipate and can almost guarantee total outrage from the Little League Association, the parents of the players etc...and then make sure he knows that you will let everyone know who did the shirts and that he WAS NOT WILLING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

[pixilatedpussy]

Great ideas all!!

[spectratoad]

[Captain Dan]

We are talking about a patch, right?
Save the hassle - pull it off and sew it back to the uniform correctly.

[RiverDave]

I'm a little curious as to why everybody seems to be ignoring boat cops post..
Aparently there's not suppose to be flags on these uniforms to begin with.. Whether it be some small act of patriotism in our eyes or not.
You wouldn't want some kid breaking federal.. whatevers. (are those laws?)

[lawbreaker2]

You think this is bad, I bought a small flag sticker the other day and in the right corner at the bottom in very small print it said, get this, MADI IN CHINA I thought to my self what the hell is wrong here, And I don't know what to do with it, I don't want that in my house, so right now it is outside in on the self in the barn. :lightsabe

[Ultrafied]

You may not be able to quote the flag etiquette to him, since it probably isn't a American Flag, i.e. does it have 50 stars and 13 stripes. Probably not since it is only a representation of the flag. May not be right, but he probably doesn't have to do anything if he doesnt want to.

[Mrs. HOOTER SLED]

Hey Mrs. Hoots,
Please post the name and phone number of this individual. I think he needs a few calls.
