The NAVA 13 Flag:
Witches, Salem, Massachusetts, Halloween colors, and the number 13
—what more could one ask for as inspiration in a flag's design? The NAVA 13 flag was designed by Alfred Znamierowski. It has a field of 13 alternating orange/red and black horizontal stripes on which is centered a witch riding a broomstick. It refers to the host city's famous witchcraft trials and to "triskaidekaphobia", the fear of the number 13. This flag is undeniably one of the most popular NAVA meeting flag designs.
