This category centers on flags associated with the United States, whose national flag is commonly known as the Stars and Stripes. Its design has 13 alternating red and white stripes for the original colonies and a blue field bearing 50 white stars, one for each state. The star count has changed as states joined the Union; the current 50-star design was adopted in 1960. Red, white, and blue are its defining colors, and the flag serves as a national symbol. Together, these features make U.S. flag imagery recognizable while reflecting both the country's founding and its present-day union of states.
