I'm guessing we have to make a Team Canada uniform with this flag?

[Shmee]

The guidelines are a bit vague...

[bosox]

So is it one uniform, or several different ones, say like one in 1970, one in 1980, one in 90, one in 00, and one from now?

Damn, that thing's ugly. I actually like the Ensign better...

[Frenchie]

Must have been a concept from Ontario, given those leafs are part of the shield of Ontario

Which is part of the coat of arms,

and on the flag (man this is an ugly flag)

Canada's official crest, originally on the Red Ensign (Canada's official insignia next to the Union Jack) had the three connecting leaves on the flag.

This particular Red Ensign was Canada's flag from 1957-1965.

Prior to that, the leaves were Green.

The flags prior to that were all similar, carrying the official markings of each province where the crest was to be.

However, the Union Jack was always recognized as the official flag of Canada until 1965. It is still an official flag of the Commonwealth, and is flown at all government legislatures across Canada (excluding Quebec), and as an official Canadian flag on 3 days during the year; Victoria Day, Statute of Westminister Day, and Commonwealth Day.
