English: Hopkinson Flag.
Francis Hopkinson claimed to have created the first official flag of the United States. However, Congress refused him this title based on the fact that multiple people contributed to the design. Hopkinson's design used a staggered pattern of 3-2-3-2-3 using 6 pointed Marian stars. This creates an optical effect of the crosses used in the British flag.
