4 U.S. Code 8. Respect for flag
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speakers desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

Does "the flag" in this case also include images of the flag? @SimpleMan

No. While against the flag code, it's not a criminal offense.

This. Flag etiquette is not a matter of law.

Hey I'm a Simple Man, not a lawyer or something fancy. I just copied that from Cornell's website. But if my memory is right I think I heard some years ago that something changed so that it's alright for the military to have the flag on uniforms.
