I can't wait to see how the courts try to define what a flag is (do the small plastic ones count; those on the ends of toothpicks; patches that are sewn on; a cloth flag with 49 stars; those on clothing) and what constitutes desecration (leaving it out in the rain; failure to illuminate at night).

Aside from the item you mentioned... If they passed this amendment, it will take about two minutes for a smart capitalist to make a 'non-flag' just for desecrating that looks like a US flag but maybe has umm, 51 stars or 14 stripes. What then?

Then it's not a real American flag and wouldn't make any difference.

Would it?
