The armorial banner is a flag based upon the coat of arms. Specifically the exact design of the shield. For the US Department of Commerce, the shield has a divided banner. On the lower half it has a yellow field with a grey lighthouse upon an rocky base. The upper half has a blue field with a full rigged sailing ship.
The US Department of Commerce also has heraldic wreath (torse or headband) of grey and black with a bald eagle in the crest position. You can see the function of the wreath on the knight, as it holds the crest in position.
International shipping was the key to American Commerce and provided the life force for the early colonies of America. Commerce, like modern day Commericals, drive the modern economy of Western World. It is no accident during the most prestigious modern day tourneys that commercials dedicated to commerce command the most power sums of money.
