Since 1818, every time a new state has been added to the Union, a new flag has been issued on July 4th of the following year. The last such admission came on the July 4th following the admission of Hawaii into the union on August 21, 1959 - in 1960. The thirteen alternating red and white stripes on the flag represent the first thirteen states in the union, while the fifty stars represent the number of states in the union. Since there is a consistent date for the adoption of a new flag, there has never been need for new flags to be made immediately after a state gains statehood - for example, between July 4, 1889 and July 4, 1890, five states were added to the union, meaning an increase of five stars on the previous flag. The pattern of stars was not officially specified until 1912, the third most recent flag, was ratified, which had 48 stars arranged in an 8 x 6 pattern - therefore, versions of flags with 13 to 47 stars have their stars arranged in all manner of different ways.
