The "blue box" or "union" of the US flag dates back to the Continental Congress Flag Resolution of June 14th 1777: "Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." It is likely that the color blue represents the sky since they referred to the stars as a new constellation.
