some versions of the battle flag had a white border
Ohhhh, that makes sense. It's a border around the recognizable confederate flag bit, not an extension of the white stripe. It's still hideous, but at least that makes sense.
New question, what the fuck were they thinking? Just look at figure 3 in your link. It's like a website that doesn't know how to format your picture correctly lmao
Lol, yeah, that one looks pretty bad. As I understand it, the white flag with emblem in top left is a naval ensign or something. Could be confused with a white flag of retreat if the wind wasn't blowing, so they put the red bar on the right edge
