Flag of Galicia and Lodomeria consisting of two horizontal stripes: red and white. The colours of the new Galician flag, which remained in use until the dissolution of this kingdom in 1918, had resembled the white and red Polish flag adopted in 1831 by the Polish Parliament. Miller claims that the flag of Galicia consisted of the two stripes: amaranth and white, but the official Austro-Hungarian publication "Wappenrolle" (1898) clearly features the flag of Galicia in red and white. In "Wappenrolle" there is a picture of an amaranth and white flag, used unofficially, and described as "the national colours of the Poles" ("Nationalfarben der Polen)",
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.
