1903 First Flag (Proposal)

[First Flag of Panama]
by Jaume Olle' , 4 September 1996

The flag was proposed by Felipe Bunau Varilla before independence.
Jaume Olle' , 4 September 1996

This is not the "First Flag" but a proposal by Philippe Bunau Varilla that was rejected by the Panama government because it was too much like the U.S. flag and never became official.
Alvaro Aguilar , 21 December 1999

From [udk97] : "The first flag, proposed in 1903, consisted of SEVEN horizontal stripes of red and yellow, with a blue canton containing two golden suns, joined by a narrow line to depict the oceans to be united by the Panama Canal" . The image above has THIRTEEN horizontal stripes !?
Ivan Sache , 26 December 1999


1903 Flag

[1903 Flag of Panama]
by Zeljko Heimer, 6 January 1996

This flag was drawn by Manuel Amador, son of the first President of the Republic, and made for his mother Maria Ossa de Amador. Basically it is the same as the current  national flag but the colours are in a different order. The flag was used from 3 November 1903 to 20 December 1903. After this date the order was changed for unknown reasons, and the new flag (the current flag) was adopted oficially by law 64 of 4 June 1904. In 1906 a competition for a new national flag was initiated, but the flag not was changed.
Jaume Olle' , 4 September 1996
