Top Gun: Maverick Mandela Effect?

I'm not into the "Mandela Effect" theory or movies like 'Top Gun', but I did see this "discontinuity error" highlighted between the original movie and the one coming out in 2020.
Top Gun sequel trailer: Fans spot new detail in Tom Cruise’s jacket

Wasn't Tom Cruise the star of this?-)

Jake Kotze is usually pretty sharp at picking things out like the jacket patch, but this one seems to have flown right by him:-)

Cruise as Cage (rumored)?-)

By 2020 the USA will probably be at war with China the way things are going now anyway.

Joseph Kosinski director of 'Top Gun 2', too.

And God knows who else.

Oriental Theater?!

'Cinema Taiwan Twain' starring "Iceman" Val Kilmer?

I always thought that Val was the lead singer for 'The Doors' for some reason.

And didn't the world end back in 2012?
I guess my memories ain't what they used to be, come to think of it;-)

UPDATE: 

Audiences found the jacket now possesses the Taiwanese and
Japanese flags, which were previously reported to have been removed

The only permanent thing is change, as they say?
