Flag of Uganda
The national flag of Uganda was adopted on 9 October 1962, the day the nation became independent from the United Kingdom. It consists of six equal horizontal bands, from top to bottom, of black, yellow, red, black, yellow, and red, with a white disc containing a crested crane superimposed (charged) at the centre. The National Flag and Armorial Ensigns Act specifies prohibited uses of the flag. From 1914 to March 1962, the British Protectorate of Uganda flew a Blue Ensign defaced with its colonial badge, which featured a crested crane. The first flag proposed for an independent Uganda consisted of three vertical bands of green, blue, and green separated by thinner yellow bands and charged in the centre with a yellow silhouette of a crested crane. A change in government before independence led to the current flag being adopted instead.
