This flag is displayed since 1804 when Haiti became independent from France grace to Toussaint Louverture. Yet the blue-red flag has been in challenge with another blak-red flag since the 1805 Dessaline Empire. The History of Haiti is marked by both flags, the blue-red bein "republican & democratic" while the blak-red bein "monarkist & dictatorial" like the Duvalier dictature for instance. When the Duvalier era collapsed the 1804 blue-red original flag was restored. It's based on the French Tricolor but without the white band (Haiti was a French colony from 1642 till 1804). Blue represents the Blacks while red the Mulattoes. The present pattern was (re)adopted on 25 FEBRUARY 1986.

4 BONUS STUF :
MARKO's proj for a NEW COA - MUCH
MORE SIMPLE (= better) + rememberance toward Haiti's History
MARKO's proj for a
NEW SEAL
To me, putting the WHOLE coat of arms (as it is officially on the flag of Haiti) is a BAD idea as it's too big & too complicated. That's why I think Haiti's flag loox quite horrible with the white square / rectangle with the arms.
MARKO's proj for a
NEW FLAG - MUCH SIMPLE
(= better) + rememberance toward Haiti's History
MARKO's proj
ALTERNATE - For ESTHETIC reasons I prefer this one inspired from
the flag of 1803.
