Keywords: US Presidential Color Army 1912.svg The Army's presidential color from 1912 The first version of this flag was in 1898 In 1901 the Army's flag was replaced by competing older design from the Navy but the Army kept their version of the color which was the same design but with a gold and silver fringe with a fancier flagpole and used in ceremonies In 1912 two more states were added which required two more stars be added to the Army's color Additionally s Executive Order 1556 and s Executive Order 1637 which defined the dimensions for the 48-star U S flag both specified that The color of the field of the President's flag shall be blue in an attempt to make the flag look closer to the Navy's version The Army thus switched their background color to blue but changed the color of the star in the middle from blue to scarlet to keep the contrast This use of these flags continued until they were replaced by a new flag designed during President Wilson's term in 1916 in s Executive Order 2390 More information http //www tioh hqda pentagon mil/SealsEmblems/PresidentOfTheUnitedStates htm here Alteration of File US Presidential Flag Army 1898 svg with the location of the two extra stars taken from the version seen in http //mysite verizon net/vzeohzt4/Seaflags/personal/potus html Sea Flags en File Presidents Standard 1912 jpg shows them in a slightly different position but I'm not sure which is right SVG Great Seal taken from File US-OfficeOfManagementAndBudget-Seal svg a U S Government work and slightly altered and colorized to match version of actual flag seen in File Army Presidential Flag QMMuseum jpg 1912 U S Government <gallery>File US Presidential Flag Army 1898 svg Original 1898 flag File Army Presidential Flag QMMuseum jpg Photo of 1908 version of the color with 46 stars File US Presidential Flag Navy 1899 svg Navy presidential flag </gallery> PD-USGov Flag of the President of the United States 7 Blue green red white yellow flags E Pluribus Unum Flags with arrows Flags with banners Flags with branches Flags with eagles Flags with more than twenty stars Flags with mottos Flags with white five-pointed stars Personal flags of the United States Army SVG flags - historical of the United States SVG flags - military of the United States Five-pointed stars Red stars
