When people think of a pirate flag, they often think of the famous white skull and crossbones against a black background. But the pirate flag can be a personal statement as well as a colorful accessory to your pirate costume. Don't let popular conventions limit your imagination when it comes to a pirate flag. Start creating a flag with your own ideas and use some of the other popular historical designs to make your flag unique.
Crossing SwordsIf you do decide to use a skull on your pirate flag, then you can use crossed swords instead of crossed bones as your design. The swords were meant to intimidate people, and an image of crossed swords on your pirate flag would be an intimidating part of your pirate costume.
Family CrestPirates used their flags to identify themselves to other pirates. You can use that idea to create a pirate flag that is unique to you and your family. Do some research and find out what your family crest is and have that image put on a pirate flag. It not only makes for a unique looking flag, it also creates a conversation piece at parties.
Profile SkullInstead of using the standard skull image that has the skull face looking straight ahead, try something different and have the skull head turned to a profile. It does not offer any additional significance other than it is a pirate flag look that not many other people would ever consider.
Dagger MouthInstead of a crossbones or a crossed swords design, how about putting a dagger in your pirate skeleton's mouth. The pirate dagger is a popular image associated with the pirates of centuries ago. The skull face biting down on the blade of a dagger and giving a menacing look would be an effective pirate flag.
Pirate flags can be personal statements as well as iconic costume images. Spend some time developing the design of your pirate flag to be sure that is gives the image that you are looking for.
