Differences from current USA flag:

• 13 stars (rather than 50)

• Tilted stars (by 20 degrees) like 1813 Fort McHenry Flag

• Much larger stars

The United States of America flag started out with 13 stars and 13 stripes. A canton with 13 stars is much less cluttered than the current 50. The famous Fort McHenry Flag, made by Mary Pickersgill in 1813, was the flag that flew during the War of 1812 at a massive size of 30 feet x 42 feet in size.

Here's a reinterpretation with 13-stars, tilted just like the big flag. Note that the US Olympic team's flag only has 13 stars because, "When designing the logo back in 2010, it was determined that in many uses of the logo (clothes, caps, merchandise, etc.), the flag would be so small that it would be impossible to make it look good with 50 stars, that aesthetically, it would look like a mess."

This leads to the final reason for a 13-star flag. It simply looks cleaner and less cluttered. I like the tilted stars as a twist and acknowledgment to the Fort McHenry Flag. Lastly the stars are much bigger, and give them the show that they deserve in my opinion.
