The «Jolly Roger pirate flag (sabres)» PVC patch
The pirate flag, commonly known as the Jolly Roger, is one of the most iconic symbols from the Golden Age of Piracy (circa 1650–1730). While the classic design features a white skull and crossbones on a black background, historical pirate flags varied widely in design and symbolism.
Origins and Meaning:
The term “Jolly Roger” likely derives from the French phrase “jolie rouge” (“pretty red”), referring to the red flags used by privateers to signal no mercy. Over time, the term came to be associated with the black flags adorned with skulls and other symbols used by pirates to instill fear and signal their identity.
Pirate flags served as psychological weapons, signaling that resistance would be met with violence. Different colors and symbols conveyed specific messages:
Black flags: Signaled that the pirates would offer quarter if the target surrendered promptly.
Red flags: Indicated that no quarter would be given, and all resistance would be met with death
