The blue hoist triangle on Czechia’s flag
Czechia’s flag combines a white upper half and red lower half with a blue triangle extending from the hoist. The triangle reaches the midpoint of the flag’s length and separates the two horizontal fields at the pole.
The design was adopted for Czechoslovakia in 1920 and retained by Czechia after the federation dissolved. White and red are associated with Bohemian heraldry; the blue triangle made the earlier two-colour layout more distinctive.

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.
