Hawaiian Flag - History, Design, and Symbolism of the Aloha State’s Banner #1208985 (License: Personal Use)

This textured, vintage-style rendition of the Hawaiian state flag showcases the Union Jack in the upper left canton-a legacy of 19th-century diplomatic ties with Britain-and eight horizontal stripes (alternating red, white, and blue) symbolizing the eight main Hawaiian Islands. The flag’s design has remained unchanged since 1845, making it the longest-used state flag in U.S. history. Its weathered appearance evokes historical depth and cultural resilience.
