Why?[edit]

What is the point of having a Jack flag in the first place? Why not just use your country’s ensign? 2601:647:5800:3B60:D531:7936:4EE8:3494 (talk) 22:27, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple versions?[edit]

Why do we have two versions of the current jack?

We have "Naval jack of the United States.svg" and "Jack of the United States.svg"

According to the page of the one on the left, the one on the right uses the correct Pantone colors. So shouldn't the Pantone version be the preferred version? I suggest we remove "Naval jack of the United States.svg" and replace it with "Jack of the United States.svg" in both instances of use. SixFourThree (talk) 21:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
