PC/WI: US adopts "Don't Tread On Me" as National Flag?

Maybe if it had been officially adopted as the USA's flag, other emerging republics would have adopted similar flags? And as a result, we may well be more conditioned to consider such flags "normal", and not think of them as ugly at all.
The US flag is absolutely anywhere and I still think it's ugly.
 
I highly doubt the strength of the American republicanism to butterfly away the national tricolour.

Especially when the Dutch had already started the trend before the concept of a democratic America was even around.

While the traditional explanation for the French flag is that it combines white (the color of the royal house) and the colors of Paris (blue and red), it's believed that this color combination was also popular due to its association with the USA. If the U.S. flag looks different, it's possible that the revolutionaries don't wear red and blue cockades in the early days but something else.
