Neither, the flag has a navy blue field with 50 white stars in it and alternating red and white stripes. But, looking back into history our US flag began as the British Red Ensign and someone sewed six white stripes on it making it into what we know as the "Continental Colors" - the first flag of British Colonial America. On June 14th, 1777 Congress specified the new US flag as having 13 stars on a blue field representing a new constellation and 13 alternating red and white stripes representing the 13 states. The blue field with 13 stars replaced the King's Colors (Union Jack) in the upper left corner.
