[edit] square

The official flag is always a square! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.139.246.4 (talk • contribs)

• Not true, read the article. --Dystopos 05:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saints

• How is the design more similar to the cross of St Patrick than to that of St Andrew? They look identical to me (color being a separate issue). --Dystopos 20:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cross of Burgundy

Are you really sure that the flag of Alabama could be based on the Spaniard battalion's colours that bore a red Burgundian saltire? So far as I know Spain lost the one-time French Louisiana in 1801 -more or less-, and the flag of Alabama dates from 1895. There's a gap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 11:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
