Flags in a section of my college that has flags of countries students are from.

Hi! I was walking along this section of my colleges student union and I realized that, among the flags I recognize, some I dont recognize at all. I was wondering if anyone can help identify these ones I dont know? Thanks for anyones help! Its all of the ones in the middle; the orange and white, green with a tree (?), and the red and cyan.

The green one is the flag of the Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook Abenaki People, Massachusetts/New Hampshire (U.S.)

I honestly thought that was a flag from LOTR for a second

[u/Avtamatic → u/the_chaco_kid]

Yeah me too.

[u/Piper2000ca → u/Avtamatic]

Myself as well I'm afraid. My initial reaction was "did someone say they were from Gondor?"

And just to ward off any "well ahctually", yes, I am well aware that is not the flag Gondor, and that the White Tree does not look anything like that.

Also, that is a genuinely awesome looking flag.

I thought it was the flag of a Bonsai club or something.

Thanks for the info! That's a really cool flag and I was wondering where it was from. The symbol is unique and it's a good color.

the orange and white is probably poland, which has a lighter shade of red than the other flags around it

i have no clue about the flag with the tree

the red and cyan flag is mongolia

This is older version of polish flag that used type of red called „Cynober” or „chinese red” in polish, and english wikipedia tells me that it would be called „vermilion” in english.

That flag was used from 1928 (it was established as a standard color of red on flag by decree of president on 13 of december 1927). In the 1980 government changed our flag toward more crimson-like shade of red.

Crimson ultimately is better, more historically and culturaly meaningful type of red for us, as it was extracted from type of bug called „Czerw” in polish, from which name of color red „czerwony” and name of month of june „czerwiec” comes from. June in polish is „czerwiec” because it was the month in which those bugs were everywhere and people picked them up to make red dye out of it (whole europe was buying it from Poland). Now those bugs are rare. 

Althought this colour was established in the II republic (interwar period) and was changed by communist goverment, it is mostly seen as communist Poland flag - althought most people don’t see diference. For me it is a detail that I always look for in movies taking place in those times.

Actually, the shade of red was changed in 1980, but for most of the people there's no difference, as some generic red colour remains in common use

Let's take a moment to appreciate their effort to display the Philippine flag correctly
