In the late 1960s, a flag for the <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_Cape_Verde" title="Portuguese Cape Verde">Portuguese overseas province of Cape Verde</a> was proposed, consisting of the flag of Portugal with the shield from the provincial arms added to the lower fly. However, this flag was never adopted. </p><p>The original national flag of Cape Verde was introduced on independence in 1975 and was based on the flag of the <a href="/wiki/African_Party_for_the_Independence_of_Guinea_and_Cape_Verde" title="African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde">African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde</a> (PAIGC). It used the <a href="/wiki/Pan-African_colours" title="Pan-African colours">common African colours</a> of red, green and yellow, and was identical to the <a href="/wiki/Flag_of_Guinea-Bissau" title="Flag of Guinea-Bissau">flag of Guinea-Bissau</a> except for the proportions and the <a href="/wiki/Charge_(heraldry)" title="Charge (heraldry)">charge</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Hoist_(flag)" class="mw-redirect" title="Hoist (flag)">hoist</a>-side stripe.
