Custom flags have become quite popular in the field of advertising and commerce. These are featured everywhere so people would almost always find at least one wherever they go. Flags have more uses today than ever before.
General Washington lifted the first union flag to represent the United Colonies at Prospect Hill. The original flag is also known as the Cambridge flag or the Grand Union flag. It featured seven red stripes and six white stripes. The banner also had a canton of blue with the Red Cross outlined in white. There was also a white saltier.

Betsy Ross from Philadelphia is known to be the maker and designer of the first flag of the United States. Although there is no official confirmation of her making the United States flag, Ross was known for being a professional flag maker of the government.
In the journals of the Continental Congress, the initial evidence of the flag of the United States being described can be found. It showed that there was a resolution on June 14, 1777. The flag of the U.S. was described as having 13 alternating red and white stripes and the union containing 13 stars. The stars were white against a blue field to represent a new constellation. The description was only published in local newspapers in September 1777. During the first anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the galleys and ships in the river were decorated to gather and feature the United States flag. More stories about the flag can be found.
