Francis Hopkinson Flag Morale Patch by Texas 144.1

Because no actual flags or sketches have survived, the exact appearance of the Hopkinson remains unknown. It likely consisted of a field of thirteen alternating red and white stars arranged in a "staggered" pattern - an arrangement forming the outline of the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew that appear on the British flag. The stars on the flag are believed to have been six-pointed. Similar six-pointed stars can be found on other documents connected to Hopkinson, including his proposed design for the Great Seal of the United States. Hopkinson's use of the red and white stripes came from a similar design found on his family crest.
