The colors have remained the same, but their placement and the crest in the center of the flag have changed over time. Each of the three colors has a specific meaning. 

  • Green: symbolizes hope

  • White: stands for unity

  • Red: is for the blood of the national heroes.

 The crest in the center panel is Mexico's coat of arms and portrays an eagle with a snake in its beak standing on a cactus, which comes from the legend of how Tenochtitlan (the Aztec capital where Mexico City is now) was founded.
