           This flag was adopted after a competition held in the country. Blue is the sky, yello the sunshine, green the vegetation. The three losanges show a "V" for Vincent & also symbolizes three breadfruit leaves. Prior to this feature the flag was adorned with the coat of arms.

          AS USUAL WIKIMERDIA IS JUST SHIT :

ERROR #1 = Wikimerdia say it was an unoficial flag betwin 1969 & 1979.
WRONG ! It's an ERRONEOUS REPORTED flag that has just NEVER existed.
It's only a "copy-paste" of the all-blue flag of the Governor General.

ERROR #2 = Wikimerdia (as so many other pseudo-sources) forgot the leaf of Artocarpus Altilis / breadfruit.

ERROR #3 = Wikimerdia display 2 metis girls while the 2 metis girls appear ONLY in 1979.

    1969-1979 NON-flag

    On the 1969 NON-flag, the 2 girls shall be white, not metis.

       1969 NON-flag coat of arms enhanced


DEFINITIVE COMPLETE TIMELINE :

                1979 : The skin color of the women would appear to have changed with the redrawing of the arms. Notice the NEW new torse is colored BLUE-YELLO-GREEN to match with the national flag.

        1912 : The coat of arms of St Vincent was granted 29 November 1912, with a similar image placed inside an elaborate frame, scroll below and a cotton plant as crest. The women now have BLUE Greek peplos.  Notice the new torse is colored WHITE & GREEN. Notice also the brown ground is turned GREEN while the blue sky / background is turned WHITE.

     1907 : The next edition of Flags of all Nations in 1907 changed the drawing to use WHITE Greek peplos. Fully clothed women was more consistent than the partly robed original badge. Shaking hands are added on the altar. Notice the name ST VINCENT is replaced by the motto PAX ET JUSTITIA.

       1877 : The badge with semi-naked women appeared in the Flags of all Nations 1889 edition.  The badge would have been based on the seal of the colony and was submitted to the Admiralty in 1877 and first published in 1881 in Arms & Badges of the Several Colonies of Great Britain (apparently with a darker blue background). Notice the color of the clothes of the kneeling girl shall be WHITE, NOT BLUE.

           1955 : The drawing of the badge of the Blue Ensign was redrawn in Flags of all Nations BR20 (1955).  The figures were simplified, with the hair becoming blonde, and the hands, that had been used until then, were replaced by the eye.  The 1907 badge had the clasped hands, with the right hand above the left hand (from viewer’s perspective).

PS : In the CARIBEAN SEA, if thingz were GEOGRAFICAL, LOGICAL & ANTICOLONIAL, then Aruba + Bonaire + Curaçao would belong to VENEZUELA, the Grenadines would belong to GRENADA, Isla Aves would belong to GWADA, Anguilla + St Martin + St Bart would belong to ST KITTS, British Virgin + Yankee Virgin would belong to PUERTO RICO, Turx & Caicos would belong to BAHAMAS, Navassa would belong to HAITI, Cayman would belong to JAMAICA and San Andres Y Providencia would belong to NICARAGUA. But nothin seems to be LOGICAL & ANTICOLONIAL in this world of shit !!!!
