Newfoundland Tricolour : ウィキペディア英語版 | Newfoundland Tricolour
The flag commonly presented as the Newfoundland Tricolour, or the "Pink, White and Green", is an unofficial flag popular in some portions of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador and is incorrectly believed by some to have once been the Flag of Newfoundland and Labrador, or more usually, of just the island of Newfoundland. Its colours are green, white and rose. Its proportions are 1:2 with three pales of equal width coloured green (hoist side), white, and rose. Originating in the 1880s as the flag of a Roman Catholic fraternal group in St. John's, Newfoundland, it is one of the very few and perhaps one of the oldest popularly recognized flags in the world to use the colour rose.〔Carolyn Lambert, ''Emblem of our Country'', Newfoundland and Labrador Studies, Volume 23, Number 1, 2008.〕〔John FitzGerald, ("Pink, white and green" ), ''The Independent'', January 9, 2005.〕〔Paul O'Neill, ''The Oldest City: The Story of St. John's, Newfoundland'', 2003, ISBN 0-9730271-2-6.〕 ==Origins==
Historical evidence indicates that the "Pink, White and Green" flag first appeared in the 1880s to 1890s and was based on the colours of the Roman Catholic fraternal group the Star of the Sea Association, which was formed in St. John's in 1871.〔Newfoundland Historical Society, ''A Short History of Newfoundland and Labrador'', St. John's, NL, Boulder Publications, 2008.〕 It bears a strong resemblance to the nearly identical Flag of Ireland but with the Protestant representation of the orange panel of King William of Orange removed and replaced by a pink panel; pink being a liturgical colour of the Catholic Church and was an official colour of the Star of the Sea Association. Similar alternate versions of the Irish Flag with the orange panel replaced also exist, though these are not recognised by the Irish government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ireland Now: The Flag of Ireland )〕〔Department of the Taoiseach, ''An Bhratach Náisiúnta: The National Flag'', Dublin, Ireland.〕
