It represents the Union Flag of the United Kingdom, because of the historical relationship Hawaii had, with Great Britain as its protectorate. By the way, the colors of the stripes represent the United States and the 8 stripes represent the 8 major islands.

The first European to visit Hawaii was the English explorer James Cook in 1778, who named them the "Sandwich Islands" after his sponsor the Earl of Sandwich. The islands remained a British possession until 1887 and the flag reflects this.

∙ 12y agoHawaii was once a British protectorate, and had been visited by British people many times in the past, so it's no surprise the British Union Flag was incorporated into their own flag. They very briefly adopted the (44 Star) flag of the USA, but decided to go back to the Union Flag variant in 1894 and have kept it all the way up to today.
