What do the stars and stripes symbolize?



The stars represent the 50 great American banks of 1980s; the stripes, the 14 great banks after the mergers of the 1990s.   For more details, see this post.

    Except there are only 13 stripes.

  2. We speak of the "14 great banks" as a sign of respect to a fallen bank. Washington Mutual, one of the fourteen, collapsed in 2008.
