Hoist Triangle & Chevron Flags

Flags featuring an equilateral or isosceles triangle extending from the hoist across horizontal stripes, exemplified by the 1849 Cuban and 1895 Puerto Rican sibling designs.

An equilateral triangle at the hoist creates diagonal leading edges that frame a single star or emblem while keeping horizontal stripes visible along the fly.
