Current flag of Eswatini

Reverted to version as of 18:43, 9 September 2019 (UTC) The gray tassels do not correspond to the current representation on the official website of the government of Eswatini: <http://www.gov.sz> Also, FOTW and Vexilla Mundi are not reputable sources.

The current flag listed is entirely incorrect

https://www.gov.sz/ The official site of the Swazi government shows it with much brighter colours. It appears someone attempted to correct this a year ago, but was refused. 31.205.21.226 (talk) 13:39, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Were the feather tassels ever officially changed in the first place?

Is there any legislation or royal decree stating an official change of design in 2011? If this change was made solely on the basis that the government website started using a version that differs from the past blue feathered version, then this does not seem like an official change in my eyes. Could someone provide a real government source that says the flag was officially changed in 2011? Feitidede (talk) 14:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Even the official website uses the old blue feathered flag on it's homepage https://www.gov.sz/ Feitidede (talk) 14:52, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k_JwLrkPb_zREFfb1mCZG9nQlfwxaEWj/view This is the best source I've come across but it contradicts itself. It says the feather's colours were changed to black in 2011 but it depicts the old flag with a lighter shade of blue as the official flag. Feitidede (talk) 14:59, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

This is the official flag of Eswatini according to their corporate identity manual: https://www.svgviewer.dev/s/SE75AOYX Feitidede (talk) 15:10, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

However in this live coverage of a very recent visit of the King of eSwatini to Rwanda, you can clearly see in the 38:38 mark that the official flag being used is still the one with the blue feathers and darker blue tone. Although the corporate identity manual claims the flag changed in 2011 and uses a lighter tone, it does not count as an official source because it is not a legislation, only a manual. I believe the official flag should be reverted to the one with blue feathers and the version with the black feathers should be a "Alternate Version adopted in 2011". Meanwhile, the lighter blue version should also count as a "Alternate Version with lighter blue". And the current alternate version with white spears and black feathers should become an "Alternate Version on the Government Website". Feitidede (talk) 15:26, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
