Sorry for the awful quality this picture is a screenshot from my dashcam. I saw this strange version of the American flag and can’t seem to find a match online. It’s like a Betsy Ross flag but an additional star in the middle plus the entire blue section centered in the stripes as opposed to being in the top left. This was captured in Orlando Florida.

    I wasn’t able to find an exact match either. It’s possible flying this flag is a sign of the right-wing politics of the owner. But I would like to add another theory: this is Orlando. They might just be pulling a Disney. They famously fly weird variants of the US flag so they are not compelled to hoist and lower them all over the park every day. I’m not saying this flag is a Disney non-compliant version of the US flag - they tend to look more cartoonish. But due to the proximity to the magic kingdom the owner might just be both aware of the flag code and lazy.

      Hmmm interesting theory. One of the cars in front of the house did have a bunch of starwars stickers so maybe they are a Disney adult.

      Damn definitely the closest so far. Great job finding that. If it is just for fun I wonder why they’d pick such an ugly design lol

    The blue and stars is from the “cowpens” version of the Revolutionary War flag, but in the center of the flag for some unknown reason. This isn’t an official flag.

    Are you in Maryland, by chance?

      No, Orlando Florida. I did come across cowpens flags in my searches but of course nothing with the blue in the center.

    I was not able to locate an exact match for that flag, but I did note some of the motivs are used in hate flags (VDARE)(stars and blue field centered).

    Unfortunately this probably falls in the ‘you’d have to ask them’ territory.

      I’ve definitely considered knocking on their door but they have several no trespassing and no soliciting signs bolted to the side of their house so I’m a bit scared lol And the very real possibility of this being a Nazi affiliated flag does not help.
