Warning: This image will not scale to 22px or smaller; it simply appears as a blank space (tested in Safari/MacOSX and Firefox/WinXP). For flag icon usage, scale it to 23px.

The new version uses the same colors as the current United States Flag. Also the stars in the Betsy Ross Flag all pointed outwards. The latter was the main reason for the update. {{Information |Description=
