 This green-white-pink tricolour which started with the Newfoundland Fishermen's Star of the Sea Association has survived and become known as the Newfoundland tricolour flag.The green, white and pink flag is quite distinctive since so few flags show any pink and certainly not as much as a third of the flag.The older red, white and green "native flag" of the Newfoundland Natives' Society's has been forgotten even though it served as the first unofficial national flag of Newfoundland (Island and Labrador) for many years in the 19th century.
