Talk:Flag of Haiti

message: A photograph of the 1936 Olympic parade showed the Haiti flag with the coat-of-arms inside a white rectangle (http://library.la84.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1936/1936v1sum.pdf page 558, thanks to reddit user u/Szwab). Thus it's a myth that Haiti and  Liechtenstein were using the same flag at the 1936 Olympic. Nguyễn Đỗ (talk) 13:50, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know the significance of the colors red and blue on the Haitian flag? Someone told me once and I've since forgotten. Todgar (talk) 15:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have heard that Jean Jacques Dessalines took the flag of France and ripped the white stripe out of the middle to symbolize driving the white people (Europeans) out of Haiti. Not sure if this is a true story, there was certainly a lot of racial conflict in the Haitian Revolution, but it sounds like an urban legend. I don't know of any other meaning to the colors beyond that, but there is probably an official explanation such as "blue stands for justice" and whatnot. jwillbur 16:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Real story, or at least it was him & that was his rationale for the new flag (the bars were originally vertical.) Blue was taken to represent the blacks and red the gens de couleur & other mulattoes. The rationale also explains why the upper color was sometimes changed to black, the more appropriate color. -LlywelynII 14:53, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Square Flag? 

message: Haiti and Liechtenstein couldn't have used the same flag because Haiti's is derived from the French flag, which uses blue 0055A4, while Liechtenstein uses 002B7F. --2.245.226.148 (talk) 09:48, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
