One theory goes that for some years it would have been called just \"the Jack\", or \"Jack flag\", or \"the King's Jack\", but by 1674, while formally referred to as \"His Majesty's Jack\", it was commonly called the Union Jack, and this was officially acknowledged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for the Olympics, shop display, or simply to wave when feeling particularly patriotic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":52562611831064,"sku":"ABD16","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5800\/5784\/files\/supersize480.jpg?v=1787572638","url":"https:\/\/doeandhope.shop\/products\/a-big-mounted-british-vintage-printed-union-jack-flag-on-pole-abd16","provider":"doeandhope.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
