  Heritage & Culture - The Jersey Flag   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The present Jersey flag (a red diagonal cross on a white background, with three gold leopards on a red crest surmounted by a gold crown in the top triangle) replaced the old, unofficial flag (the same without crest and crown) in 1979.
The earliest association of the flag with Jersey seems to be in Bowle's "universal display of the naval flags of all nations" (1783), although Captain John Tessin-Yandell claims to have found the association made in French naval charts dating back to 1757.
Also the old French word for jersey was "iersé." The debate will continue until an association of the flag with Jersey from before 1783 is discovered, but the flag does not appear on coins, in paintings etc. Pre 19th century it began to appear on states buildings, at official functions etc from 1841.
