A photo of the flag can be seen at the League website. The League flag is a horizontal triband, yellow-white-yellow, with the same 1:2:1 layout as the Lebanese flag and an emblem in the center of the white stripe, a green triple patriarchal cross enfolded in a green laurel wreath. There is a large (but sucky) graphic of it on their site.
