Erroneous Version

by José Luis Brugués

José Luis Cepero sent the flag of Cádiz to the Vexillum list, showing a differently shaped coat-of-arms then the FOTW version drawn by José Luis Brugués. I asked him and Antonio Gutiérrez (who is currently researching and drawing the flags of all Spanish provincial capitals), and he sent a photo that shows an actual flag with the arms in oval shape. However, both Brugués' image in FOTW and Cepero's [original uncorrected rendition] are wrong as respects the field colour, which should be dark red rather than purple.

I believe the field should be red, as the origin is the register flag of the Maritime Province of Cadiz, a completely red flag.
