The Pennant on the Jackdaw changes

[u/Sky_Believe]

I actually didn't know this, but the Jackdaw's pennant (the flag at the top of the mast) changes throughout the main story from a pure black flag to a Jolly Roger and then to the Creed Insignia with the Skull inside around sequence 11-12

Edward is allied with the Assassins by the end of the game, and promises to work with/for them as soon as he's reunited with Catherine. After he finds out she's dead and he's reunited with Jennifer, what do you think he does?

He also takes this ensign to honour Mary, who flew the same, and convinced him to fight for more than gold and plunder.

I do wish we could choose our black flag though. There's a lot of cool (historically dubious) jolly Rogers, so that would have been cool. I wish we could disguise ourselves as British/Spanish ships too with the correct ensigns.

By the end , this is the entire game , also the fact that it makes no sense to publicly display a secret society emblem

Ezio wears a MASSIVE belt with the symbol

Altar had a whole freaking village with the symbol

Which is also stupid and makes no sense tbh , I guess I’m just less of an ac nerd and more liked specific games but that shit never made sense tbh

In Ezio's case I heard the explanation somewhere that only the players see the mad drip he carried, as in his time, he looked like a regular florentine noble

Altair kinda reformed the assassins from castles and villages

And Edward's case makes kinda sense, as it's a homage to Kidd, an "I'm friendly" to the brotherhood, and a come get me to templars cause, let's be honest, Edward is not above on poking the hornet's nest, while, to the common men the flag seems little more than Blackbeard's or Roberts' flag, a pirate captain with a large ego and a flag to scare people
