The most popular is the U.S. flag, Krieger said. CF employees who may be offended by making the Confederate flag can work in another area, Krieger said. The Confederate flag is one of 37 historical banners the company makes. That collection includes the Civil War flag used by the Union and the first, second, and third flags of the Confederacy. While never the official Confederate States of America flag, the battle flag that has gained the most popularity was used by Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard, Krieger said.
CF sells flags wholesale to retail stores, and also takes special orders.
The flag is no longer used at games, he said. Another special order recently came from an African-American group called NuSouth that is putting a new twist on the Confederate flag. NuSouth flags will be printed by a company in Florida because of a special manufacturing process required for that particular order, Krieger said. The flags will be sewn at CF in Huntsville, he said.
