Why US Flag Worn Backwards

Created by Chad Nicely, Modified on Wed, 12 Jul, 2023 at 10:54 PM by Chad Nicely

Hi [FIRST NAME]!

Thank you for contacting support!

I would like to apologize for the confusion. We based the design of the iron-on flag patches with the American military uniforms. American military uniforms feature the U.S. flag, which is worn facing backward. The rule is that the blue field of stars should always be in the highest position of honor on the uniform. That position has always been the right shoulder with the flag's blue stars facing forward.

Should you require further assistance, please let me know. Thank you and have a good one!
