Triband (flag) Triband (flag) The triband is one of the most common designs of flag, and is the design of some 30% of all current national flags. As the name suggests, the main feature of the design of a triband is three parallel bands of colour. If the three bands have three different colours, the triband is a tricolour. In its simplest form, the triband consists of three equally sized horizontal or vertical stripes and nothing else. Examples of "horizontal tribands" include the national flags of Austria and Germany, and examples of "vertical tribands" include the national flags of Nigeria and France.
