It all began with General Lorenzo de Zavala, a visionary leader who not only drafted Texas' constitution but also designed its first official flag. On May 11, 1836, just after the victorious Battle of San Jacinto, the Convention at Washington-on-the-Brazos unanimously adopted his simple yet striking design.
Featuring a blue field with a white five-pointed star at its center, the De Zavala flag proudly spelled out "T-E-X-A-S" around the star, with one letter at each point. Inspired by the Bonnie Blue Flag, a symbol of defiance and independence in the southern states, the De Zavala flag quickly became an enduring emblem of Texas sovereignty. Okay, not that enduring. It was replaced by the 2nd Flag of the Republic of Texas a couple years later. But that one was just a yellow star over a blue field. So soon after Texas again changed the flag to what we see today as the state flag.
As a salute to old General de Zavala, and the badass Texans who carved out their own sovereign country, we present to you the "First Flag of the Texas Republic De Zavala Polo." It's a mouthful, but it's also a handsome shirt.
