John Hulbert Flag of 1775 – American Revolutionary War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

Historical Significance

The John Hulbert Flag of 1775 holds a unique place in America’s Revolutionary history. Named for Captain John Hulbert of Bridgehampton, New York, this early banner predates the Declaration of Independence and symbolized the colonies’ growing defiance against British authority. Historical accounts suggest that Hulbert and his company carried this flag during their march from Long Island to Fort Ticonderoga, making it one of the earliest examples of a distinctly American flag.

Design and Symbolism

The John Hulbert Flag features thirteen alternating red and white stripes representing the original colonies. Its striking blue canton displays thirteen six-pointed stars arranged in a vertical and diagonal pattern, a configuration that predates the standardized circle of later designs. This bold and unconventional layout emphasized emerging unity among the colonies while celebrating their individuality. It remains one of the most visually distinctive early Revolutionary War flags.
