The national '''flag of [[Belize]]''' was adopted on [[September 21]], [[1981]] upon independence from the [[United Kingdom]]. The flag is a continued version of the earlier flag of [[British Honduras]] (the name of Belize during the British colonial period). This flag was established in [[1950]] when British Honduras began winning its independence. The two red stripes at the top and bottom were added to the original design when they had gained independence. At the center of the flag is the [[Coat of Arms of Belize|Belizean coat of arms]]. The flag of belize is unique in that it contains twelve colours, three more than on any other national flag.
