Unofficial flags

Unofficial flags

Unofficial flags are either (a) flags in regular use that have no official status or (b) flag concepts that have appeared in various publications.

Examples of the former type are: Boxing Kangaroo, Fighting Kiwi, Chatham Islands, Rotuma, West Irian, Jolly Roger. These are examples of flags used at sporting fixtures, reproductions of no-longer-used historical flags, or used by a regional populace out of spontaneity, though not officially approved (or gazetted).

Examples of the latter type are: North Island, South Island, Stewart Island, 51-Star United States Flag, Antarctica. These are examples of flag ideas put forward by vexillologists/flag designers that have been picked up by various publications (books, magazine articles, online reference sites, etc).
