Bulgarian Tricolour Design and History

The Bulgaria flag consists of three equal horizontal stripes. White appears at the top, green in the centre and red at the bottom. The tricolour was first adopted in 1879 after the establishment of the Principality of Bulgaria.

The simple white, green and red design was readopted on 27 November 1990 and confirmed by the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria in 1991. The current national flag does not contain the Bulgarian coat of arms or another emblem.

Common Meaning of the Colours

Bulgarian law does not assign a specific symbolic meaning to each colour. However, the colours are commonly interpreted in the following way:

• White represents peace, purity and freedom
• Green represents Bulgaria’s forests, fields, agriculture and natural landscapes
• Red represents courage and the sacrifices made for Bulgarian freedom

Durable Construction and Easy Installation

The flag is made from durable polyester fabric with a weight of 115 g/m². Reinforced edges and double stitched seams provide additional strength. Two rust resistant brass grommets allow quick and convenient installation without requiring special tools.

How to Choose the Right Size

The 90 × 150 cm size is a versatile option for most homes, gardens, celebrations and standard flagpoles. Smaller sizes work well in bedrooms, offices and balconies. Larger options create a stronger visual presence at festivals, sporting events and spacious outdoor locations.

Single Sided Printing

The Bulgarian tricolour is printed on one side of the polyester fabric. Approximately 90 percent of the colours remain visible from the reverse side. Because the design consists of horizontal stripes without text or an emblem, it has the same visual arrangement when viewed from either side.
