The 1960 flag variant should be changed from File:Flag of the United States (Pantone).svg to File:Flag of the United States (Web Colors).svg. The Pantone flag variant will be added between the 1960 web colors version and yacht flags. The Web Colors flag may be replace the Pantone flag, which will be moved to the Pantone one. The Web Colors was popular on Wikipedia until 2010, which it was replaced by a current one.

Diff:

−

flag alias-1960 = Flag of the United States (Pantone).svg flag alias-yacht = United States yacht flag.svg

+

flag alias-1960 = Flag of the United States (Web Colors).svg flag alias-pantone = Flag of the United States (Pantone).svg flag alias-yacht = United States yacht flag.svg
