Talk:Flag of Rhodesia

message: The flag image shown is incorrect as it uses the new design for governors of British overseas territories.  The old design (like the flag in this article) was used up until the 1990s.  The main difference is the size of the central circle and the lack of a gold perimeter.  I also doubt that the complete coat of arms was included in the circle.

Is there any source that backs-up the flag shown in this article???

thread_title:  Incorrect flag 

message: The blue ensign seems to have been in use at the 1972 Olympics. Maybe this needs a background explaination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP_agDIx7aM
:  Why did Rhodesia used the pre-1964 dark blue Southern Rhodesian flag in the 1972 Olympics, Instead of using the sky blue Southern Rhodesian flag from 1964? ColorfulSmoke (talk) 22:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  I believe it was because that was the "official" Southern Rhodesia flag that the UK government recognised (the sky blue one was only adopted internally as a little protest about not being given independence) and the IOC required that Rhodesia enter as if they were still a British colony due to the unrecognised UDI.

replies: text: I don't think so. That Rhodesian Air Force Ensign you linked to was based on the British one before they changed it when they became a republic .  The C of E  God Save the King! (talk) 21:48, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry for a very delayed response, I've been very disconnected over the last few months. I don't really know how to answer this. The examples I've seen of the 1964-1968 Rhodesian flag are certainly lighter than the sky blue of the RAF ensign. I would presume that the Rhodesian flag producers of the time would not have made a distinction and just used the same sky blue fabric for both. But  In all likelihood, there would have been inconsistencies. Fry1989 eh? 18:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question about this Rhodesian flag 

message: What is the meaning of the colors chosen? More info needed.
It looks oddly like the Hungarian flag, but that can’t be it, of course. 2A00:23EE:1578:58D6:E8B9:39FC:CC03:9D0E (talk) 10:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Zimbabwe Rhodesia flag

message: Would publicly displaying the Rhodesian flag in Zimbabwe be hate speech just like publicly displaying the 1928–1994 South African flag in South Africa (today), what i'm saying is does Zimbabwe have laws regarding the Rhodesian flag? ColorfulSmoke (talk) 15:30, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe they did pass any law or make any court rulings that declared it illegal. This academic paper (on the last page) seems to suggest it is "completely ignored" in the country these days. But I'm not a Zimbabwean lawyer so I can't give a definitive answer.
