There Have Been 27 Official Versions of the Flag
Each have had a different number of stars in the blue union. And while the official original flag contained 13 stripes and 13 stars, symbolizing the first colonies, the flag didn't always have 13 stripes. In 1794, Kentucky and Vermont were added to the Union, resulting in a 15-stripe flag.
