incorrect: emblem should fit the white stripe
by Jaume Ollé, 03 Sep 2000 | |
In short, the law prescribes the new provincial flag as being inspired by the historical Andes Army flag (1817-1818), specificaly of it’s Cabot Column (why?, any specific relation between this army column and the province?). (What is the date of this law, by the way?) It contains the usual argentine oval emblem divided horizontaly celeste and white, with a pair of hands shaking and holding a pole topped by a red phrygian cap.
Construction details are 9:14 = 5+8+5 : 28 (litterally, 25+40+25 : 140 cm); the position, style and size of the emblem and lettering "En Unión y Libertad" (meaning «In Unity and Freedom»), placed on the obverse only, are discribed on the law in a quite confuse wording. The sun on top of the emblem has 19 rays, as many as the departments (geographical subdivisions) of the province.

The provincial shield and the legend that goes
underneath fit completely within the white stripe.

both the provincial arms and the provincial flag
show unmistakable similarities with their national counterparts
(arms and flag)…

Instead of the emblem, the reverse shows a sun with 32 rays, it’s color
legally prescribed as “light yellow” — a fatal mistake for something mainly
set on white background. The difference between reverse and obverse is also
taken from the original Cabot Column flag.
