What is the ruling regarding a uniform that has the American Flag sublimated across the entire jersey?

A uniform featuring the American Flag sublimated across the entire jersey is deemed illegal due to specific guidelines that govern the display of national symbols in sports uniforms. The rules established by the NFHS prohibit the American Flag, as a national symbol, from being used in a manner that does not adhere to its recognized etiquette and protocol.

In particular, the use of the flag on uniforms must not compromise its integrity or potential symbolism. Full sublimation across a jersey signifies that it may lose its intended respect and proper display, as uniforms must maintain certain design standards that do not detract from the flag's significance. Therefore, the ruling states that such designs are prohibited in order to uphold respect for the national emblem, aligning with the codes established for sports uniforms.
