I have noticed a lot of sports-related and news articles using Peru's state flag, with the emblem, instead of the civil flag, without the emblem. Based on what this article suggests, and also based on the state flag article, it seems that national sports teams use the civil flag. How can this be resolved? I believe there must be one correct flag to use, and I posit that it is the civil flag. eae 01:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The key information in this section appears further below in the article, and the coat of arms has its own article. The Spanish language version of the page doesn't have the Design and Symbolism section, either. Would it be sensible to simply delete this section?

I have changed from the regular tricolor to the tricolor w/ coat of arms as the main flag of Peru. In almost every website or location I visit, the Peruvian flag has the coat of arms present.

For example:

• United Nations 1
• Multiple flag websites 2, 3
• National Geographic 4
• Encyclopedia Britannica 5
• Central Intelligence Agency 6

The civilian flag may be intended for large civilian use, but the majority of civilians I have seen with a Peruvian flag is the National flag with the coat of arms.--

Britannica is really strange as Peru's flag does not have any orange in it. Anyhow, the official Peruvian flag is the one without the coat of arms. This did not use to be the case prior to the Odria administration, but was changed for purposes of simplicity.--MarshalN20 ^Talk 12:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The terminology is using wrong:

According to the Constitution of Peru, the flag doesn't contain any kind of seal [1] (see article 49). So, the standard would be the unsealed, and the others the variations. Furthermore, article 8 of Decree 11323, about denominations, names as "pabellón nacional" the one with laureate coat, and as "Bandera nacional" (national flag) the uncoated one, names that have been mixed up in the table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazymadlover (talk • contribs) 17:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
