Introduction

In 1977 the struggle for autonomy and the discussion about symbols started again. (...) The left-wing parties supported variations of the Catalan flag (...). Andalan, a left-wing magazine, organized a contest with five finalists:

  1. [yellow with horizontal red stripes, on a white hoist stripe a red cross]
  2. [yellow with vertical red stripes, on a white hoist stripe a red cross]
  3. the same as the proposal of the Aragon Democratic Party
  4. the Catalan flag
  5. the Catalan flag with the arms (but without the crown)

On May 1977 the three diputaciones (provincial governments) adopted a provisional flag that was very similar to Andalan magazine finalist no. 2 and which was the first official flag of Aragon.

Yellow with four horizontal red stripes charged with the greater arms of Aragon with no crown, thus very similar to the current Aragonese flag.
