The device shall be of red along the hoist to a line drawn from the top of the hoist downward to a point half way along the bottom edge of the flag. The balance of the flag to be blue. There shall be a white stripe, the middle of the width of the stripe, to start at the bottom of the hoist running upward to a point half way along the upper edge of the flag.
