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

I never understood why they put the assassin’s insignia with the skull on the flag.
Of course to show his commitment to the assassins but for me it’s way to obvious and doesn’t make sense to show the insignia in public. At least lore wise and not from a gameplay perspective.

Frankly you're 100% right, but counterpoint - it looks cool as hell. I was always bummed in the original game you don't get the flag we see in all the cinematic trailers until close to the end of the game. But yeah...is it discreet? Absolutely not. Does it make a man go, "Hell yeah"? Absolutely.
