The flag was proposed by Felipe Bunau Varilla before
independence.

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.

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 !?

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.
