History of Gambia Flag
The Gambia was a British colony that raised the Union Jack with a special badge. The badge had a yellow disk bearing an elephant and a palm tree with hills and the sky in the background. There was also the initial letter of the colonial name Gambia. Gambia proclaimed its independence in 1965, and the modern flag of red, blue, and green with thin white stripes was adopted as a symbol of the newly independent country. The current flag was designed by Louis Thomasi and was inspired by the Gambian Coat of Arms colors.
