Flag of Afghanistan WFB 2004 Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the official flag of Afghanistan as it appeared in the CIA World Factbook in 2004, representing the nation during the Transitional Islamic State period following the fall of the Taliban. The design is a powerful emblem of Afghan identity and its journey towards a new era.
Design Elements
The central design is a vertical tricolor, composed of three distinct bands. The left band is a solid black, symbolizing the dark past and the years of occupation. The middle band is vibrant red, representing the blood shed in the fight for independence. The right band is a hopeful green, signifying prosperity, hope for the future, and the importance of Islam in Afghan society.
At the heart of the design, centered on the red stripe, is the national emblem in white. This complex coat of arms is a symbolic tapestry, featuring a mosque with a mihrab and minbar, signifying the nation's faith. Above the mosque is the Takbir ("Allahu Akbar"), and at the very top, the Shahada (Islamic creed) are prominent. Two Afghan flags flank the central emblem. The entire emblem is framed by a border of wheat sheaves, which stand for agricultural prosperity and the land’s bounty. Below the mosque, the year 1298 (1919) appears, marking the year of Afghanistan's independence from Britain. Beneath that is the Arabic inscription "Afghanistan".
Meaning and Symbolism
The flag's design is a powerful statement of Afghanistan's national identity, weaving together historical struggles, religious faith, and aspirations for a brighter future. The colors and emblem are carefully chosen to reflect the nation's past, present, and hopes for its future.
The aspect ratio of the flag design is 2:3, the standardized ratio adopted after 2002 during the Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan.
