"Other Things Not to Do with the Flag Out of respect for the U.S. flag, never:

............

use it as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. It should not be used on a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be attached to the uniform of patriotic organizations, military personnel, police officers and firefighters. use the flag for advertising or promotion purposes or print it on paper napkins, boxes or anything else intended for temporary use and discard. 

If you are attending the national convention, then the delegates should observe this flag code provision.
