SAN ANTONIO – A star-spangled banner proudly displayed in Texas lacked a little something: seven stars. KSAT-TV reported that the banner with just 43 stars was hanging at the Northside Independent School District Aquatics Center when somebody noticed the error.
Zolinski said the district “went on good faith that when you purchase the item that it was the real thing.”
An Allied Advertising spokesman said it was a “simple mistake” and the flag was designed by someone who is no longer employed at the company. The last time the 43-star flag was official was in 1890, so obviously that person no longer works there.
The company replaced the flag for free.
No indication on how long the flag flew before being replaced.
