1st Navy Jack Flag (DONT TREAD ON ME)

This striped “Don’t Tread on Me” flag blends two powerful Revolutionary symbols: thirteen red-and-white stripes representing colonial unity, and the American rattlesnake, a warning emblem of vigilance and readiness to defend liberty. Unlike the better-known yellow Gadsden Flag, this variant reflects the experimentation and regional creativity common before American flag designs were standardized.

The rattlesnake motif was popularized by figures such as Benjamin Franklin and closely associated with the Sons of Liberty, conveying a clear message: peace if left alone—decisive resistance if provoked.

This flag represents the radical spirit of colonial resistance, combining unity and defiance in a bold early-American design that would help shape the nation’s revolutionary iconography.
