St George's Cross, a plain red cross on white, traces to English crusaders who adopted it to stand apart from French troops fighting under the reverse design around 1189. It hardened into England's national symbol over the following centuries and now belongs as much to football terraces and pub windows during major tournaments as it does to any older ceremony.
