American Flag Embroidering from Merchology

When it comes to showing your patriotism, there's no better way to do it than with an American flag embroidered on your company clothing. Whether it's a custom t-shirt, corporate hats, or logo-branded jackets, adding a flag patch or embroidery can give your outfit that extra bit of flair while also showing your love for the red, white, and blue.

How are American Flags Embroidered on Custom Clothing?

When embroidering the American flag on the sleeve of an item, it's important to remember that the star shield should face forward on either sleeve, typically on the shoulder. This helps to create the illusion of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.

To give you an idea of what this would look like, below is an example of the placement on both sleeves.

Why is this a Rule?

Army code requires that the American flag's stars always be on the forward-facing side of a military uniform. As a sign of respect and to remain consistent across all orders, Merchology follows a similar rule when embroidering the US flag.

Additional Rules When Adding a US Flag to Merch

  • Upside down flags are considered to be signs of disrespect to the nation and people of that country
  • Text should not be superimposed over a flag out of respect to the country and people
  • Flag images should not be distorted or discolored out of respect to the country featured

Whichever route you choose, adding an American flag to your clothing can be a great way to show your pride and support for the country!
