Only the French flag is officially recognized by the French constitution as the national flag, the green and yellow flag is however still used by the French Guiana national football team and still commonly flown by civilians, the green and yellow diagonal flag that is commonly used to represent French Guiana, actually has no official status. Other flags unofficially used to represent French Guiana include the Banner of Arms, which adapts the Lesser Coat of Arms of French Guiana into a flag. And the flag of the territorial collectivity used by the local government, which is a white field with green lines with the shape of French Guiana's borders, and a text which reads "Collectivité Territoriale de Guyane".
