The United States flag is the national flag of the United States, commonly referred to as “Old Glory.” The 13 stripes represent the original thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British monarchy and became the first states in the Union. The fifty stars on the blue rectangle in the canton represent the current 50 states.

In 1912, the number of stars was increased to 48 in honor of the centennial celebration and to include the new states of Arizona and New Mexico. This version remained official until 1959 when President Eisenhower introduced the current 49-star design when Alaska and Hawaii entered the union.

In general, the flags of the United States are made from cotton or polyester. Cotton is the traditional material for flags that are displayed indoors, while polyester is often used for outdoor flags because it stands up to wind and weather better than cotton. Recently, manufacturers have developed special nylons that have improved resistance to UV rays and weathering. The most common method for producing a flag is sewing pieces of dyed and undyed fabric together, but some flags are printed.
