Hah, what a coincidence, runnin on tv right now!
The stripes are not very diagonal, so I guess they’re either hand painted or sewn on a piece of cloth, but not embroidered.
The picture seems to be an old portrait glued on the flag, maybe a secession war general like this:

The basic flag looks like a typical confederate flag. The portrait is likely a Texan officer of the period. My initial thought was Sam Houston, but he refused secession and was removed from the governorship of Texas, so he wouldn't make sense. John Bell Hood, perhaps? Or Robert E. Lee himself.
Still looking.

Looks soooooo much like Buddy Holly. More so blown up.

It's Buddy. Cowboy is from Texas, Buddy was from Lubbock Texas. On the left side of the helmet it has the lyrics to his famous song "That'll Be the Day"

Looking at this blowup I'd say the rebel flag, wonky as it looks, is not hand painted but in fact a patch. You can clearly see the raised edge of the patch underneath the rubber band.
Great find on the buddy image! Never would have thought of that. Always wanted private cowboys helmet.
