In a statement to Fox 5 News the MTA says: "These are not confederate flags, it is a design based on geometric forms that represent the "Crossroads of the World" and to avoid absolutely any confusion we will modify them to make that absolutely crystal clear."
The station sits below the former New York Times building and Times Square didn't actually exist at the time of the Civil War.
The station was renovated in 1998 and included re-creations of the original mosaic design. Related Headlines

This was my favorite story of the day.
The tiles “looked” Confederate, so they must go. Not actually Confederate, but close enough to insult Snowflakes.
I guess they’ll start killing cats and dogs that ‘look like’ Hitler?
How the f*ck does anything “look” confederate? The tiles are not doing anything. They are an object and do not have the ability to act.
Some people see the tiles and are reminded of confederate. So remove the tiles. Insanity.
Al sharpton reminds me of a horse’s a$$. Kill all horses?
What next? Change the letter X to a check mark or something, because it reminds people of the confederate flag?
And no more Tic-Tac-Toe games because of those evil Xs among the O’s.
Clearly the NYC city council has more money than they know what to do with.
Nope, won’t spend more money on maintenance, repairs, pest control, policing. They gotta spend it tearing up some tiles folks never noticed and couldn’t give a cr@p about.
Sorry too late you are already confused.
They can dedicate time and money to this but cannot keep up with basic maintenance and keeping the trains running?
One thing we can truly say about the media, they are promoting every little crazy issue related to the idiotic movement in this country. I blame the media for much of this stupidity by keeping it in our faces day after day.
Change the damn tiles but be sure the new ones are black.
D’oh!
Funny how no one noticed this throughout Obama’s term. Or Clinton’s. Or Carter’s. Or LBJ’s, or even JFK’s.
Somehow, all these offensive statues, tiles, etc. just seem to have popped into existence during the past six months. Else, how is it that those erstwhile Dem Presidents did nothing about them?
What a bunch of raging bull crap!
““Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”...George Orwell, “1984”
Which brings to mind a perhaps new “joke” which is not really a joke: What’s the difference between a progressive and a Muslim.
Answer: Not much.
Great googly moogly. That looks an X-Men logo.
Ban the X-men!!!!
It is blatantly racist!
And those 5 pointed stars in the US flag will have to go too.....
Meanwhile rats the size of small dogs are jumping into baby carriages. WTG, Downstate.
