Among the many historical emblems of the country, the Alamo flag is surely one not to miss. A lot of brave stories and gallant excerpts have been resourced from the historical accounts. For those of you who are not familiar how it looks like, the Alamo flag is a modification of the flag of Mexico, with its center eagle figure changed with the year “1824”. This modification is a testament to the Mexican constitution of 1824, wherein it supports the fighting Texans at that time.

On the other hand, the Bandera de Mexico, or the Spanish Banner has a vertical tricolor scheme. The color green occupies the left third of the flag, then with white in the middle, and red on the right third of the flag. The national coat of arms is located in the middle. Each color has a significant meaning for the existence of this proud nation, in which over the centuries has changed.

A former colony by the Empire of Spain during the time of exploration, the colors green, white, and red were adapted by the independent nation of Mexico when it gained its sovereignty. Its design dates back when it was first used and waved for the proud nation in 1821. One nice trivia about the Mexican flag is that without the center coat of arms, it would look very much like the Italian flag. Some might consider that idea that it was patterned after that country’s design.


The Alamo flag was allowed by the Texan government to be used during that day and served as the first battle flag during that time.
