I personally be thinking that Barbossa will still keep the 'Jack Rackham type' Jolly Roger because of....the old Pirate rule saying: 'My Jolly Roger is my Jolly Roger. Even if you kill me, you still have to get your own. No pirate can copy another pirate's Jolly Roger.'''
 * I probably wouldn't put that into account with Barbossa, as his old Jolly Roger was Calico Jack's! lol xD

''The deleted scene really shows this. Barbossa brings down Blackbeard's flag, and raises his own. It's a truly symbolic scene.''
 * Ah ha, but it's not a deleted scene...or at least, I don't think so. The reason I inserted that image of Barbossa's flag in our deleted scene gallery was for two reasons: obviously it didn't appear onscreen, and, as I may have implied(who knows), it may have been a scene or single shot cut from the film.
 * Plus, if you notice, the flag has holes in one or two places. And the most interesting thing is, the scenery doesn't really seem like the flag is flying on Pearl. I may be wrong about this, but an interesting possibility, nonetheless.
