Notes
a) The (often unofficial) practice
of flying such a flag or pennant aboard ship began in the 19th Century, and could
now be largely (but certainly not entirely) obsolete.
b) The practice of displaying a name pennant is continued by some universities
in the US - particularly at sporting venues (see also
‘institutional flags (unofficial)’
and ‘sports flag 2)’).

may have other variants with specific uses on land and/or sea, and that these
are herein listed separately according to type (see also those flags listed under
