This was the same in 1991 when we were in the first gulf war. The next season saw the flags come off. But since we continue to be a nation at war, we continue to have flags on most teams jerseys, as is the case with helmets in college and pro football. actually, the american flag stays on the uniforms because we are a country at war.

I would ask this guy that works for a company that does number crunching for the NHL to sample old game footage to test if players were more likely to shoot at a goalie's chest if he wore a symmetrical logo than a goalie not wearing a non-symetrical logo. That could be a second test to this hypothesis. I had this wierd theory that dark or black away jerseys would make it harder for a goalie to find the puck. It might have some truth since the only team in the NHL that wear a really dark away jersey (that I can think of), is the Vancouver Canucks.
