Oh goodness, I'm so glad you posted that Pic of UNCarolina! Now people won't be confused with what we're talking about! You should post this in every thread so people don't continue to be confused. Use a picture of Southern Cal's Trojan when they reference USC.

Oh and you spelled Jordon wrong dumb frick. You should just start over.

Alabama's first flag
front

back


When Alabama seceded from the union, we used the Confederate States of America flag. (Texas probably copied this for their flag.)


After the war, Alabama didn't have a flag until 1895, we adopted the present one.

quote:

"The flag of the state of Alabama shall be a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars forming the cross shall be not less than six inches broad, and must extend diagonally across the flag from side to side."

The St. Andrew's Cross resembles the letter "X" in the English alphabet and is also referred to as the "saltier" or "Crux Decussata." According to tradition, Andrew, the brother of Peter, was crucified on a cross of this shape. Andrew did not feel worthy enough to die on the same style of cross on which Christ died and requested a cross of another shape. His request was granted and he was crucified upside down on a cross which now bears his name. Rather than using nails to secure his limbs to the cross, Andrew was bound to the cross with ropes. His suffering was thus prolonged. St. Andrew's Cross came into wide use during the Medieval Period and became the national cross of Scotland, since St. Andrew was the patron saint of Scotland.
