The first Mexican flag is just like the national flag you see today, although there have been a number of variations in the past.
The second national flag was acquired when the first federal republic began in 1823. The main difference between the old and new flags is in the coat of arms. The eagle’s head had a crown and a serpent was gripped in the right talon and there was also a branch of oak and laurel. The flag was removed in 1864 after the federal republic stopped.
The third official national flag featured the red, white and green colors with the coat of arms placed at the center on the white stripe. The flag had a length to width ratio of 1:2 instead of the usual 1:2 and there were four eagles with golden crowns on all four corners of the banner. The design was actually made through the command of Emperor Maximillian in 1864. It was removed in 1867 when the emperor lost his power and was executed by the Mexicans.
The next flag featured a crownless eagle with a serpent in the right talon. It was raised but not yet declared as the official national flag.
The Flag of Mexico you see today was founded on September 16, 1968. The eagle currently faces to the side instead of the front.
The new Flag of Mexico is the fourth official national flag and was featured when Mexico City became host to the 1968 Summer Olympic Games. This is the same flag you see today.Labels: custom flag, custom flag maker, custom flag. personalized flag, Mexican flag
