About the Confederate flag - Rebel flag.
The first official flag of the Confederate States of America, called the ''Stars and Bars'', had seven stars in a circle pattern in the top left hand corner, representing the seven states that initially formed the Confederacy and a Red, White, Red vertical tri-band background. Proving difficult to distinguish the ''Stars and Bars'' from the Union Forces flag ''Stars and Stripes'' under chaotic battle conditions, the flag was changed to the ''Stainless Banner''. The Stainless Banner, also known as the ''Southern Cross'', became the symbol more commonly used in military operations. The Southern Cross had 13 stars, adding the four states that joined the Confederacy after Fort Sumter, and the two divided states of Kentucky and Missouri.

A rectangular variant of the battle flag used by some Confederate Army Units, now called ''Confederate Flag'' or ''Confederate Battle Flag'', despite this flag never having historically represented the CSA as a nation, it has become a widely recognized symbol of the South. It is referred to as the ''rebel flag'', or ''Dixie flag''.

Confederate States of America (CSA) represented by the stars on the Confederate flag are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

About the Australia Boxing Kangaroo flag.
The Australian Boxing Kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia, frequently seen in popular sport and recreation culture. The symbol is often displayed prominently by Australian spectators at sporting events, such as at cricket, tennis, football matches, Commonwealth and Olympic Games events.

In 1983 the boxing kangaroo received national and international prominence when it served as the symbol for the successful Australian challenge for the America's Cup, where the boxing kangaroo flag, a red-gloved golden kangaroo on a green background, was flown from the America's Cup race winning yacht "Australia II".

Alan Bond (owner of the Australia II yacht) owned the Boxing Kangaroo image and licensed it for mass commercial production. The image was later bought by the Australian Olympic Committee, and is used as a mascot to represent the Australian Olympic team and to promote sport and fair play in schools and is often accompanied by the chanting of "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!" by Australian sports fans worldwide!

ABC Sports Eureka Flag



The Eureka Flag was originally a war flag used by the Eureka Rebellion of 1854 at Ballarat in Victoria, Australia.

Believed to have been designed by Canadian miner, "Captain" Henry Ross, it is a Southern Cross Flag under which miners swore an oath to as a gesture of defiance at its first flying at Bakery Hill and under which 22 rebels were later killed fighting at the Eureka Stockade.

The flag has gained wider notability due to its adoption in Australian culture as a symbol of protest, democracy and a wide variety of other causes. It is listed as an object of state heritage significance on the Victorian Heritage Register and was named as a Victorian Icon by the National Trust in 2006.

About the Jolly Roger flag - Skull and Crossbones flag.
The Jolly Roger is any of various flags flown to identify a ship's crew as pirates. The flag most usually identified as the Jolly Roger today is the skull and crossbones, a flag consisting of a human skull above two long bones set in an x-mark arrangement on a black field. This design was used by several pirates, including Captains Edward England and John Taylor.

Some Jolly Roger flags also include an hourglass, another common symbol representing death in 17th and 18th century Europe. Despite its prominence in popular culture, plain black flags were often employed by most pirates in the 17th and 18th century.

Historically, the Jolly Roger, or pirate flag was flown to frighten pirates' victims into surrendering without a fight, since it conveyed the message that the attackers were outlaws who would not consider themselves bound by the usual rules of engagement—and might, therefore, slaughter those they defeated (since captured pirates were usually hanged, they did not have much to gain by asking quarter if defeated). The same message was sometimes conveyed by a plain red flag.

Since the decline of piracy, various military units have used the Jolly Roger, usually in skull-and-crossbones design, as a unit identification insignia or a victory flag to ascribe to themselves the proverbial ferocity and toughness of pirates, these groups included - on the tail of B-24 heavy bombers of the 90th Bombardment Group of the Fifth Air Force, on the tail of Grumman F-14 Tomcats of fighter squadron VF-84, Polish submarine ORP Sokó, British submarine HMS Utmost, HMS Proteus, HMS Conqueror, HMS Turbulent, HMS Triumph, and the Australian submarine HMAS Onslow flew the Jolly Roger in 1980, following her successful participation in the 'Kangaroo 3' war game as an opposing submarine.
