The flag of the Maldives was originally a plain red flag. Later, a band of black and white stripes were placed in the hoist.
By the early part of this century, Prime Minister Amir Abdul Majid Didi had introduced the green panel and white crescent to the flags of the Maldives. Until 1949, the horns of the crescent would point towards the hoist.

The civil ensign (for use at sea) of the Maldives was the same as the national flag but with a green panel in the middle of the red field instead of the crescent.
