The shield was a component of the arms of the Leeward
Islands. In 1960 a motto was added to the shield, to make
the arms of the Virgin Islands. Between 1956, when
the federation of the Leeward Islands was dissolved, and 1960
when the arms of the Virgin Islands were granted, some flags may
have been produced with the shield but no motto.

The British Virgin Islands had started their participation
some days before the opening of the Olympic Winter Games in
Sarajevo, 1984 .Unfortunately, the organizer could not produce an
official Blue Ensign. Therefore, the regulators used a white
cloth with the blue inscription "B.DJEVIC`'ANSKA
OSTRVA" in Serbo-Croatian language in the Latin alphabet
with the Olympic rings the second line. One could see this flag
on the events of the opening and the conclusion of the XIV
Olympic Winter Games as seen in this photo.
