Alabama State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #3236095 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Alabama consists of a white field with a prominent red saltire (diagonal cross), known as the St. Andrew’s cross. Its design was inspired by the Confederate battle flag and officially adopted by the Alabama legislature on February 16, 1895. The proportions are unique-though not legally specified, it is commonly flown as a rectangle, unlike the square version originally mandated.
