Until the late 1940s, the U.S. Naval Academy's Brigade of Midshipmen carried an organizational flag of the infantry battalion pattern. Starting in about 1948 or 1949, the Brigade began using a blue flag with the Academy coat of arms in gold on the center. (The coat of arms had been adopted in 1899.) This flag was officially approved on January 24, 1951. According to NTP 13(B), Flags, Pennants and Customs, the official dimensions of the flag are 48 by 72 inches, but recent photographs of the Brigade color guard appear to show it measuring 52 by 66 inches to match the Marine Corps battle color and the Navy flag with which it is now carried. Because the service academies take protocol precedence over the regular forces, the Brigade of Midshipmen's flag is carried immediately to the left of the national color and to the right of the Marine and Navy flags. Additionally, all four colors are now displayed with a the nickel-plated spearhead finials used by the Marines rather than with the battle-ax finial that is specified for Navy use.
The motto on the coat of arms, "Ex scientiae tridens," is translated, "From knowledge, seapower."
