Significado de la Bandera

The flag of Belize was adopted on 21 September 1981, the day Belize became independent. It consists of the coat of arms of Belize on a blue field with red stripes at the top and bottom. The figures, tools, and mahogany trees represent this industry. Red stripes were added to denote the colour of the opposition party. The 50 leaves recall 1950, the year PUP came to power.

Curiosidades

Belize’s flag design is unique because it is the only national flag that prominently features humans as part of its design.

Even though the official national flag was not put into use until the 1980s, the design of the coat of arms dates back to 1907.

Prior to the unofficial flag that was used in 1950, Belize used several flags as British Honduras.
