Syria Nylon Flag

About Our Syria Nylon Flag

What’s probably the most different about Syria’s flag is that as of 2018, the nation doesn’t have just one national flag but has two. One flag is used by the Assad government. The flag is based on the flag of the Arab Liberation and features four colors that represent the four dynasties of Arab history: the Hashimites, the Fatimids, the Abbasids and the Umayyads. The Syrian National Coalition and the Syrian Interim Government use a different national flag. This design is a modified version of the independence flag first used in 1932 and was readopted in opposition to the government. The national flag of the Syrian Arab Republic has four colors: red, white, black and green. The red, black and white are used to make up the horizontal triband background of the flag. The green is used in two five-pointed stars located in the central white band. The red is symbolic of the Hasemite dynasty and the struggle for independence. The white is representative of the Umayyad dynasty and a bright future. The green stars represent the Fatimid dynasty, with one star standing for Egypt and the other for Syria. Finally, the black is a representation of the Abbasid dynasty and oppression of the nation. The Syrian National Coalition’s flag is somewhat similar to the flag of the Syrian Arab Republic. It features a triband design but the colors are green, white and black. Instead of two green stars, this flag features three red stars centered in the white band.
