What was captain jack flag?

You're likely thinking of Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. While he has many flags throughout the series, his most recognizable flag is:

A black flag with a skull and crossbones, but with an added white line running diagonally from the upper hoist to the lower fly, giving it a slightly tilted look.

This flag is a variation on the traditional Jolly Roger, and it reflects Jack's playful and somewhat chaotic nature.

It's worth noting that the "official" Jolly Roger used by pirates in the Golden Age of Piracy was a simpler black flag with a skull and crossbones, with no added details.
