Facts about the flag of Puerto Rico
Date adopted: 25 July 1952
Designer: Antonio Vélez Alvarado
Symbolism: The red stripes symbolize the blood from the brave warriors, the white stripes represent victory and peace after obtaining independence, the blue triangle represents the sky and coastal waters, and the white star represents the island of Puerto Rico.
- Pantone colours: Red, White, Blue
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 1
- Hanging protocol: The flag is typically hung with the blue triangle on the left and the red and white stripes horizontal, starting with red at the top.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the Puerto Rican flag with the Cuban flag, which has similar colors but with the triangle and stripes reversed.
