President Barack Obama's historic visit to Ghana, the first sub-Saharan country to gain independence, was a momentous occasion for Ghanaians to say the least. During his stay, he addressed the people of the African continent with praise and yet a stern call for change. He made it clear that Africa's destiny is up to it's people. He ended with a spin-off of the popular slogan from his presidential campaign saying, "Yes You Can". The latest design at WearFlags is for those that heard and believe his words.

Ghana (Yes We Can) Flag Design
Thursday, January 1, 2009
New Year, New Product Lines
I've added three new product lines to the WearFlags gallery for the New Year. We now have flag t-shirt designs for Argentina, Ghana, and Guyana!
Why them? I wanted to get more South American countries out so that explains Argentina and Guyana. By the way I love the Guyanese flag. It's just so unique.
Ghana was one that really should have been in my first group. I had a feeling these colors would look great on the flag and I love what it represents. Ghana was the first African nation to achieve independence. It was also the first (after 19th century Ethiopia) to introduce the symbolic Pan-African colors (red, yellow, green, and black) into African flag designs and became an inspiration of many other African countries. "The black star in the center is the star of African freedom. Red recalls the blood shed by freedom fighters, yellow represents mineral wealth, and green is symbolic of the country's rich forests." - Wikipedia
To say the least, the Ghanaian flag is very significant and I'm proud to portray it with my designs.
