It's true that it looks that way in the breeze; think of the flag on the right fender of the presidential limousine. <br /><br />But on a military uniform it's particularly important, because if it faced the usual way, it would look like you were retreating.Adam Kaningherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604439081636666350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573896101004946985.post-58905430837607869872019-01-12T13:46:15.766-05:002019-01-12T13:46:15.766-05:00When in doubt, ask a Blogger!
Thanks guys, both t...When in doubt, ask a Blogger!<br /><br />Thanks guys, both tiny mysteries solved.<br /><br />I love Maple anything, and particularly any and all unique Blue Jays uniforms, iconography, and baseball cards. I also like flags on cards, but not quite enough to collect those Bowman cards, which I have seen.

JayP is correct - the flag is worn that way by military, and I believe it represents the flag flying in a breeze. as an aside, i do like the bowman international cards where they get the player's flag correct. always good to see the maple leaf behind justin morneau, no matter what team he's on.gcrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882449679093991427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573896101004946985.post-75916637831597916242019-01-12T09:40:02.668-05:002019-01-12T09:40:02.668-05:00It’s not necessarily wrong.
