Origin of Bulgarian colours
In response to the question on that means the presence of a flag green over red in the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, my first supposition were that were tried to the land flag of the Ottoman Empire, but as will be able be proven this is red on green. For so much presumably it would be tried to the flag n of the autonomous territory to Eastern Rumelia, embryo to Bulgaria, and that yet would be maintained in the shield. Probably the first Bulgarian flag was green on red, since the text of the book, upon describing the shield, indicates that the lions support "the flag of Bulgaria"; when afterwards it describes the flag already indicates the existence of a white band superior (that is to say three bands as the current). The flag with red table in the angle containing the crowned lion, it is described as war flag. The tape in the lower part is white, green and red in horizontal striping and carries the following inscription (but in Cyrillic characters): 'Saedinenieto pravi silata' The tongue of the lion in the shield, is indicated as green.
