Recently I watched the encyclopedia about flags of the world, then saw some picture from the White House where the flag of the USA is surrounded with gold fringe.
So there is an official standard of the US flag. It must have proportion ratio of 1 hoist and 1.9 in the fly, 7 red stripes, 6 white stripes and 50 stars. I hope the fringed flags in the WH meet these requirements but the official flag doesn’t have any fringe.
I think it looks different a little bit more luxury because of yellow (golden) color added and the fringe as a decorative item. What do you think this fringe symbolizes and do you think the flag is perfect without the gold fringe?
