    I think its a cool artistic interpretation of the flag. I don't think the missing stars or stripes are really representative of anything positive or negative. 


    Agreed. But ya know. We like to make a hobby out of reading wayyyy too much into things around here. :smirk:
    WHAT?!?!!!!????

    I am very patriotic, proudly fly my U.S. flag all the time and I'm not offended at all. I just bought several of these flags! I think it's visually the coolest thing Pearl Jam has put out in eons! The "Made in the U.S.A". quality looks incredible - even metal grommets in the left side corners. And it's a HUUUUGE 37" x 56"! Plus, "all proceeds go to Art Corp"! It's a win/win/win!!!

    Just don't speculate too long. Remember what happened with the empty LP storage boxes...

    But what's the reason for selling a US flag with Pearl Jam written on it? This is as random as that sheep-toy.

    I"m guessing because they are from America.

    Cool. Still seems random. I guess there's sheep in America too though.

    Yeah what gives with the number stars/stripes??
    missing means what?  States with anti LBGT? No pot laws? States Trump has homes? States where the band does not like playing or Ed was too drunk to remember playing?

    Washington is the 42 state admitted to The Union.....so this might be a s-t-r-e-c-h but 7 stripes + 35 stars = 42
    :)

    When you count the black in between the red and white it’s 13 stripes.

    50 states - 15 Confederate States = 35.  35 Stars on this flag.  

    15 Confederate States
    Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Virginia
    Kentucky and Missouri were on both sides (or neutral)
    New Mexico Territory and Arizona Territory.

    And it’s a black flag instead of white...  think CopperTom just solved it.  
    Maybe Kaepernick will stand in front of this one??  :i_dunno:

    13 stripes = 13 colonies.  Only 7  stripes on this flag.

    Only 7 colonies were actually slave-free at the time of the Emancipation Proclamation - Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island.  Maryland and Delaware were in the Union, but were actually slave states. 

    Those are my guesses, folks.  This is more or less an Anti-Confederate flag.

    There are 13 stripes? Only that they turned some black for design reasons?

    Agreed! I usually think most of the non music merch is pretty lame but this is going to be a badass garage flag for sure.

    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Thanks for the insight dude.  I had initially thought of the confederate thing, but I’m working now and too lazy to research it.  Good job.  :clap:
