Once Themyscira opens up to the world it seems logical that they would have a flag right? Has there ever been a design? I assume that the motherly Kangaroo must be the national animal.

I personally love the flag design of Kazakhstan, which also happens to be similar to the flag of the United Nations. It feels very Themysciran to me.

And of course, if we need a Kangaroo flag:

Here you go...

Notice how it matches Wonder Woman's armor. The United States doesn't have a monopoly on red, white and blue or stars, so it explains why her costume looks patriotic to Americans.
Are you sure you're not thinking of Donna? Post-Crisis when her origin had to be retconned and divorced from a rebooted Wonder Woman (Donna ended up being active before Diana, thus invalidating her previous origin), Donna's original costume was explained to be derived from the flag. This was just before she ditched her second costume and the Wonder Girl name in favour of becoming Troia for the first time.

Those examples are both pre-Crisis. IIRC, in the Perez reboot, it was still said that Diana's costume is based on the US flag (and other symbols) found on the flight suit of Diana Trevor. In Gail Simone's run, however, she said that the stars represent the sky over Themiscyra, or something like that - anyway, no longer based on the flag. And there is even some time-travel story where Diana travels back to the time of the American Revolution, and the US flag is actually inspired by her costume...
I'm not sure how the design of her costume is explained in Rebirth, but I think DC wants to get away from the flag origin to make Diana more 'global', and to get rid of the 'American superhero' critique (in real life, and in the comic).
