original flag was adopted after independence on 29 june 1976 it had alternating blue and red triangles the flag was very similar to the australasian united steam navigation company s flag whose ships regularly visited the islands of seychelles in the early 20th century 7 and similar to the seychelles democratic party s flag in 1977 when president james mancham was overthrown by france albert rené the old flag was abolished and the red white and green flag based on the flag of the seychelles people s united party came into use which had a distinct wavy white stripe the only significant difference between the national flag and spup s flag was the depiction of the sun in the party s flag which was not used in the country s flag when the party lost the majority in the elections other parties demanded a change in the flag which led to a parliamentary approval of a new proposed design 7 1903 1976 edit flag from 1903 to 1961 58 years of use badge designed by major general charles
