Nicaragua Nylon Flag No Seal

About Our Nicaragua Nylon Flag No Seal

The flag of Nicaragua was first used in 1908, but it wasn’t officially adopted until many years later. In fact, the current design was not made official until 1971. The first Nicaraguan flag was adopted in 1823 and was used for just over a year. The primary differences between this original flag and the flag used today is the color of the blue bands and the design of the Coat of Arms. Until 1854, the nation had several flags that were very similar to the current design. After this time, the flag design and colors changed quite dramatically. This included the blue and white tricolor without the Coat of Arms used from 1858 to 1873 to the red, white, and blue striped flag that was used from 1889 to 1893. Nicaragua’s flag features the color purple in the rainbow on its Coat of Arms. This is one of just two flags of all sovereign states that includes this color. The inspiration for Nicaragua’s flag was the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America.
