The rising sun and V shape on Antigua and Barbuda’s flag
Antigua and Barbuda’s flag layers a rising yellow sun above blue and white bands, framed by a red V that opens toward the lower edge. A black upper field makes the sun stand out and gives the design a strong vertical composition.
The government describes the rising sun as the dawn of a new era. Other customary readings connect the colours with African heritage, the sea, sand and the energy of independence; the V is also commonly read as a sign of victory.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
