Acquired last December 27, 1989, the flag of Romania boasts of its three colors that are incorporated in the flag in equal sizes of vertical stripes. The three vertical stripes include blue (left), red (right), and yellow (middle). These three colors are of great importance in Romania.

The current Romanian flag was adopted on December 27, 1989. A horizontal red, yellow, blue flag was introduced by nationalists in 1848. In 1861, Romania was established when Walachia and Moldavia united. The new Romanian country adopted a red (top), yellow (middle) and blue (bottom) horizontally striped flag.

The revolutions that swept Europe in 1848 first produced the modern Romanian tricolor, blue-yellow-red, although it had horizontal stripes and the inscription “Justice” in Walachian and “Brotherhood” in Moldavian in the center. This flag was used only briefly, but it became the basis for the modern tricolor.

Romania adopted a horizontal tricolor of red-yellow-blue on June 22, 1861, above which blue streamers flew. In the navy version, the individual arms of the two territories (later their combined arms) were emblazoned. Although still subject to the Ottoman Empire, on April 23, 1867, Romania reestablished its vertical tricolor. Various changes were made in the coat of arms of the state flag in 1877 (at the time independence was declared), 1897, 1922, andâ€"under the communist regimeâ€"in 1948, 1952, and 1965.

In 1878, a year after Romania obtained freedom from the Ottoman Empire, the flag was used as Romania’s national flag. From that moment until the year 1989, the coat of arms of Romania was embossed at the center of the flag. However, in December 1989, the coat of arms was removed and the flag was left with the three historical colors. This flag is being used up until the present. The flag in Romania is almost similar to that of the Moldovan flag. The only distinguishing mark is that Moldova embossed its coat of arms into its flag.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Romania flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Romania future.
