Alabama State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #1884281 (License: Personal Use)

The Alabama state flag consists of a crimson red saltire (diagonal cross) on a white field, symbolizing the state’s heritage and Southern identity. Officially adopted on February 16, 1895, its design was inspired by the Confederate battle flag but simplified to avoid direct association. The flag’s proportions are 2:3, and it remains one of the few U.S. state flags with a simple, non-heraldic design.
