Regarding the flag specifically: The flag of Scotland (…Also known as St Andrew’s Cross or the Saltire) consists of a white saltire defacing a blue field. The Saltire, rather than the Royal Standard of Scotland, is the correct flag for all private individuals and corporate bodies to fly. The heraldic term for an X-shaped cross is a ‘saltire’, from the old French word saultoir or salteur (itself derived from the Latin saltatorium), a word for both a type of stile constructed from two cross pieces and a type of cross-shaped stirrup-cord.

“St. Patrick’s blue is a name applied to several shades of blue associated with Saint Patrick and Ireland. The colour blue’s association with Saint Patrick dates from the 1780s, when it was adopted as the colour of the Anglo-Irish “Order of St. Patrick”. In British usage, it refers to a sky blue used by the Order of St. Patrick, whereas in Irish usage it is often a dark, rich blue. While green is now the usual national colour of Ireland, St. Patrick’s blue is still the official colour of state. St. Patrick’s blue is still found in symbols of both the state and the island.” (Source: here)

When designing the tie, we wanted to be as nationalistic and true to the country of Ireland as possible. We conversed with a very proud Irish-American about which colors we should use and found out that a lot of people think that green is the national color when in fact, it’s not. Therefore, we used blue as the dominant color for the tie and incorporated a green shamrock in the bottom corner. We think this design honors both colors as well as the national symbol and turned out to be something that represents Ireland well.
