Why Does The Hawaiian Flag Have A Union Jack. As the title suggests, i am curious as to why it still has a union jack. First, the eight alternating white, red, and blue stripes pay homage to the eight major hawaiian islands (their colors have no meaning).

Hawaii’s state flag has eight horizontal stripes and the image of britain’s union jack in the upper left corner. Hawaii’s state flag resembles the union jack of great britain because many of king kamehameha’s advisors were british and the islands were once placed under.
