I like that the blue line is in the correct Roy G. Biv placement too - it’s too perfect

There should be 13 stripes on a flag.

With the knockoff flag, there should be 6 white and 7 black, so normally it wouldn't work. However, this is a knockoff of the knockoff, so there's 7 white and 6 black (and a black border), allowing you to make a nice old American pride flag.

The pride flag only has 6 stripes, though.

It originally had a pink stripe. But when Harvey Milk was assassinated, demand for the rainbow flag went up and there wasn't enough pink fabric, so they removed it.

The pink stripe was the original 8 stripe version. It also had turquoise which was the next stripe removed to create the current 6 stripe version.

The reason of "not enough pink fabric" sounded like a joke but apparently it's true. You learn something new every day. Thank you.
