What is the original flag of England?

The cross of St George, not the Union Jack, is the flag of England. It is a red cross on a white field.

The official proportions for the national flag of England is 3:5, with the cross being 1/5 of the height of the flag wide.

When King James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne, thereby becoming James I of England, the national flags of England and Scotland on land continued to be, respectively, the red St George's cross and the white St Andrew's cross.

At sea, however, from about 1606 a combination of the two flags was used which was the predecessor to the current Union Flag (often called the "Union Jack" although technically a "Jack" is a naval flag only).

The combination of St George's Cross and St. Andrew's Cross was incorporated into the early (pre-indepencence) American flag.

The current flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which incorporates the Cross of St. Patrick (the diagonal red cross) was adopted in 1801.

What do the 3 stars stripes and snake of the US soccer logo represent?

Interesting question, with quite a shocking answer. The three stars represent the highest rating that the US international team can possibly hope for on any future FIFA console game. The stripes represent nothing, they are just there because the logo designer was unimaginative and couldn't be arsed to stray far from the stars and stripes of the American flag. And the snake, I find most bemusing of all. Apparently, the snake represents both the prestidigitation and the insecurity of the US as a nation.

How many red stripes are on the US flag?

There are exactly seven red stripes and six white striped on the US Flag for a total of 13, representing the 13 original US colonies. There are a total of 50 stars on the American flag - one for each state.

Since the first US flag in 1777 there have been 27 different numbers and arrangements of stars. In 1795 after Kentucky and Vermont joined the US we added two more stars to the original 13 and two more stripes to the original 13. This is our "Star Spangled Banner" to which we dedicate our National Anthem: It has 15 stars and 15 stripes. In 1818, the Legislature decided to go back to 13 red and white alternating stripes representing the original 13 states and add a new star to the flag on the 4th of July for each new state.
