Old Roger (Jolly Roger)

Common card · No. 408466

The Old Roger flag is a loose term for a historical variant of the pirate ensign Jolly Roger, whose motif consists of a skeleton on a black field, holding an hourglass in one hand and a dart striking a heart in the other. The general design is noted to have been used by a number of Golden Age pirates, but the association with the name Old Roger is modern. The name "Old Roger" is an old humorous or familiar name for the devil, or death.
