Before 1995, the flag used the Vergina Sun, which led to protests from neighboring Greece due to the symbol's origins.

Until 1991, when the Socialist Republic of Macedonia was part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the flag was a red flag with a red star in the top corner next to the hoist.
