Shitpost obviously, but it annoys me for some reason. Does anyone actually have a clue as to why they did it like that?

    Traditionally, the “union” (blue part) is on the left side, closest to the heart. Thus, when worn on the right shoulder it’s reversed.

          For the same reason that “TGIF” is a great way to remember Toes Go In First when you’re putting on your shoes, but it’s not the reason that your toes go in first

            But the association with the left side of the body goes farther than just patches. Lapel pins go on the left lapel, and when hung vertically from a wall the union goes to the viewers’ left.

            And TGIF means “thank god it’s Friday” :P
