Re: Majestic MLB Jersey changes for 2016

Does anyone know why the US flag on the July 4th jerseys is the mirror image with the stars on top right instead of top left?

Here's an explanation from usflag.org:

"The regulation states that when authorized for application to the proper uniform the American flag patch is to be worn, right or left shoulder, so that “the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer’s right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. The appropriate replica for the right shoulder sleeve is identified as the ‘reverse side flag’.”

Thank you. I had no idea that there is a regulation on how to wear a flag on uniforms.
