Wasn't this one of the few flags that was allowed to break the "no gold on white" rules?

Just a good design all around for a flag!

Wait what? I always thought gold and white flags are amazing

It's probably best you read the symbolism which is portrayed in the flag for yourself from arhcive.org

Was the black outline part of the design?
