>It is not known for certain when, or by whom, the design of the Continental Colors was created, though the flag could easily be produced by sewing white stripes onto the British Red Ensigns.[3] The "Alfred" flag has been credited to Margaret Manny.[4]

It's crazy how the american flag is idealized to no end and then you realize the founding fathers were lowly rebels who just didn't wanna pay their taxes and made a quick switch up to the company flag kek

How can you culturally appropriate a drinking song? It probably came over with actual Brits.

The East India Company had an inconsistent number (always odd) between 9-15. So yes "coincidence" works. 13 rebelling colonies has an obvious connection, stripes are very common, and the red ensign was literally everywhere.
