SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A San Antonio company has replaced a U.S. flag it produced that had just 43 stars.

The banner was hanging at the Northside Independent School District Aquatics Center when somebody noticed the error.

Aquatics director Scott Zolinski said the center assumed the flag had 50 stars when it ordered it. The last time the 43-star flag was official was in 1890. Allied Advertising spokes-man Jesse Castoreno said it was a “simple mistake.”
