I love how many historical pirates had such shit flags.— Sin Vega (@withoutaplain) July 26, 2020
Special prize to John Phillips (probably. Most of the attribution of these things is hard to prove), whose flag says less "surrender and we will show mercy" than "I am excited for someone to invent the trenchcoat" pic.twitter.com/u4RLq7TjmV— Sin Vega (@withoutaplain) July 26, 2020
Christopher Moody, meanwhile, whose flag gets points for colours, but mostly just says "Make your mind up Chris, fucking hell" pic.twitter.com/W8CkGKiTOY— Sin Vega (@withoutaplain) July 26, 2020
Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard. Not as successful as some, but very influential. Had a decent run. A top tier choice to be pirated by, since he'd only skewer you if you gave him some shit. Flag design: "The Night King will steal your bicycle horn and break your heart." pic.twitter.com/BmRFokLn0r— Sin Vega (@withoutaplain) July 26, 2020
