Alabama State Flag - Official Design, History, and Symbolism #1885683 (License: Personal Use)

The Alabama state flag consists of a crimson red saltire (diagonal cross) on a pure white field, symbolizing strength and valor. Adopted on February 16, 1895, its design was inspired by the Confederate battle flag but legally defined to avoid direct replication. The flag includes two brass grommets on the hoist side for mounting on poles and is flown statewide at government buildings and civic events.
