Triband is modern

It's not easy to draw

Calm down Indonesia, they don't need some LARPing faggot on a horse to symbolise their country. This isn't the 1400s anymore.

you dumb bro.

must be difficult to understad for a filthy new worlder but Pogoń is a millenium old symbol of Lithuania, just like white eagle is the symbol of Poland

That particular flag was rejected directly because of commies ruining red flags for everyone. You need to take the context of the year 1917 into consideration.
The current flag was based on the colors of our national costumes, and that's pretty much all there was to it.

Also easier to be drawn and sewn.

>The Vytis, strongly advocated by Jonas Basanavičius, was not chosen for three reasons: the first was that as part of the drive for national identity, the Seimas wished to distance itself somewhat from the flag of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which also encompassed now-distinct nations such as Belarus and Ukraine. The second issue was the choice of the color red by revolutionaries who aligned themselves with Marxist or Communist causes. And finally, the flag with Vytis would be too complicated and could not be easily sewn

Couldnt you have added a red shield with the knight on it to the flag or something?

That was an ongoing discussion during the interwar (current flag was supposed to be temporary) and by 1940 there were two suggestions put forward to modify the flag, but then we got anshluss'd by soviets.

Oh, and btw, the thumbnail next to the posts here on Jow Forums isn't the lithuanian flag, the colors are all wrong. They're not supposed to be neon bright.

Because that was a flag of Slavic Duchy, African colours represent Balts.

Any cunt with a tri-color other than France or the Netherlands is retarded and should feel bad for their unoriginal memeflag.

Says the most boring flag of the Americas.

>mestizo tricolor with emblem

Some people wanted this - Lithuania Minor flag.

Really need to start double checking my posts

Tbh, the original with 13 stars was the best, after we ditched the circle it just got boring.
