The Blueshirts primarily used used the red and white Saint Patrick's saltire. There is information of a "blue flag" used by the movement,[1] but there are prominent propaganda pictures that show the red and white Saint Patrick's saltire flag being used. The book The Blueshirts by Maurice Manning displays a picture of Blueshirt propaganda on the cover that shows a man in the Blueshirt uniform with the red and white St. Patrick saltire flag flying in the background and with a small shield emblem of the St Patrick saltire on the uniform.--R-41 (talk) 02:13, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
The blue flag was the flag of Fine Gael that the Blueshirts were a factional quasi-fascist paramilitary section competing for control of the movement
[edit]This flag was used, as well as the red on white Saint Patrick's Saltire flag
