I was trying to think of something different to put on the sails then the usual emblems and such. And this is what I came up with: (I understand it's pretty simple, but I think it's effective)

After I made that I was trying to think of what materials pirates would have at sea to patch up sails. Then I thought of the fact they'd have plenty of old flags from ships they've plundered. So I made a few more. The first is one using all the countries flags. Then the others are flags from certain countries, incase you're at war with a certain race or something and you only plunder their ships.

Thats a great idea! Although, I think that I would prefer to see something closer to the color of the sails them selves, I am sure they carried extra sail materials onboard. The patches would probably be less weathered looking than the main portion of the sail. I would think those flags would be more valuable for use in luring in potential prizes and hasty getaways. Just a thought.. cheers! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
