A Brief History
In the early 19th century, the Union Jack became an instant hit among the fashionistas of the French Revolution. Its bold red, white, and blue design was the perfect way for the rebels to express their disdain for the monarchy.
Design Elements
The Union Jack's design was inspired by the French Tricolor, but with a few key changes. The red and blue stripes were inverted, and the white was made a deeper, richer color.
