Cuba Flag
Our Cuba flag merchandise features the Cuban flag.
The flag is referred to as the Estrella Solitaria, or the Lone Star flag.
With recent events with protests against Castro this has become a popular flag.
It features 3 blue stripes with 2 white stripes and a triangle in red with a white star upon it.
The three blue stripes represent the three departments in which Cuba was divided at that time, the white purity of ideals, the red triangle, originating from the French Revolution – and the three ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity: red for the blood and the courage; the star for the independence of Cuba.
Cuban Flag vs. Puerto Rican Flag
Choosing between a Cuban flag and a Puerto Rican flag? The blue and red switch places: Cuba pairs blue stripes with a red triangle, while Puerto Rico pairs red stripes with a blue triangle. Each design also has two white stripes and one white five-pointed star.
| Feature | Cuban flag | Puerto Rican flag |
|---|---|---|
| Colored stripes | Three blue | Three red |
| White stripes | Two | Two |
| Triangle beside the pole | Red | Blue |
| Star | One white, five-pointed star | One white, five-pointed star |
A shared design, two national identities
Puerto Rico’s flag was modeled on the Cuban flag with the red and blue inverted. Puerto Rican exiles adopted the design in New York in 1895, connecting its history to the independence movements of the two islands.
