A flag insignia is a symbol generally representing a country, state, city, or place. Other common uses of flags have been as emblems of institutions, historical events, and activist movements, among others. Often flags are used as templates to build customized flag insignias embedding logos, adding lettering, and even mixing different flags into one single patch. Examples of patches representing well-know historical flags are the Gadsden flag patch, the Confederate flag patch, and the Betsy Ross flag insignia. Flags are also used by political movements and to support specific organizations and agencies (Thin Blue Line Flags). Even pirates used to have their own insignias. Blackbeard flag patch and Jolly Roger flag insignia are among the most known pirate flags. Many countries make extensive use of flag badges in their militaries although it’s also common to see them being worn by civilians, law enforcement agencies, and other first responders, among others.
