On a traditional flag, there are 13 stripes for each of the 13 original colonies. On the first flag, there were only 13 stars, as well. However, as states were added to the Union, stars were added to the flag. On the other hand, the number of stripes remained the same.

The flag of the United States consists of 13 equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the upper hoist-side corner bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating with rows of five stars. The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 states and the 13 stripes represent the 13 original colonies. The United States flag is commonly called "the Stars and Stripes" or "Old Glory," with the latter nickname coined by Captain William Driver, a Salem, Massachusetts shipmaster.
