	Up with Vexillology - TIME
		In this way, they argue, the world might be spared embarrassing errors, as when Indonesia in 1945 unfurled a new flag of red and white bars that turned out to be both an exact replica of the ensign that Monaco has flown since the 13th century and the Polish flag upside down.
		It might be argued that vexillologists, being relative latecomers to the flag scene, have already missed most of the action.
		A return to the original thirteen stars would, the vexillologists say, "be a fine birthday present for the U.S. at its bicentennial." Not to mention pleasing to the seventh congress of vexillologists, which is scheduled for 1977 in Philadelphia.

	Vexillology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term was coined around 1957 by Dr. Whitney Smith of the United States, currently the foremost vexillologist in the world and author of many books and articles on this subject.
		Unlike most modern flags which are suspended from a pole or mast along a vertical side, the square vexillum was suspended from a crossbar along its top side, which crossbar was attached to a spear.
		Vexillologists are active in several national associations under the umbrella of FIAV (Fédération Internationale des Associations Vexillologiques).

	Tricolour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some vexillologists go further still, and describe flags containing three fimbriated stripes as fimbriated tricolours.
		Vexillologists also occasionally describe flags of which the main element is three stripes as being "based on a tricolour (or triband) design".
		Finally, some vexillologists take the meaning of the term at its barest, and simply use it to describe any flag containing just three colours, irrespective of the design.

	Documenting flags: Part 2
		And we, as vexillologists must also be concerned with the fact that the discipline is either unknown to or misunderstood by the general public.
		This paper is to postulate the need for a discipline of vexillological scholarship necessary to train the future vexillologists so they will not be believed to be mystic in their practice of the study of flags.
		Some vexillologists believe that only certain facts are significant or more important than others; that we should focus on the history, or the psychology or the social aspects of a flag, or the facts and figures.

	Vexillology and Science
		While those are born of emotion (due to a search for legitimacy) the work of the vexillologist is to report the facts while trying not to be influenced by a side.
		Here, the general public, and vexillologists were asked for an aesthetic evaluation of the flags of the United States and Canadian subdivisions.
		And of course we should be aware of the fact that no vexillologist had studied vexillology at university, and that most vexillologists have no academic/scientific background (there are several biologists though.

		Vexillologists must have a working knowledge of heraldry, not only of western European culture, but of others as well, as flags incorporate the heraldric traditions of the people they represent.
		Vexillologists are keenly interested in the political, economic, and religious ideals that flags are intended to represent.
		The interests of vexillologists in flags is, of course, much more detailed than what has been discussed here.

		The difference between a vexillophile and a vexillologist (in his sense) is far from clear.
		Flag Bulletin regarding whether vexillology is a science and whether there needs to be a differentiation between vexillologists, vexillophiles and vexillolographers is one that is of interest and should be debated.
		We, vexillologists, are in the same position of most of the natural scientists in XIX century - we do our studies in whatever time we find after our days spent working for a living in other things, and even when we do the best we can, our limitations are obvious.
