Some believe that Morvan Marchal drew inspiration from it to create the flag of Brittany. Another design is used by the Bleuñ-Brug of Finistère and seems to have come from the mark of the Cercle Celtique de Rennes. A version featuring the tilted shield has been adopted by the Vern-sur-Seiche bagad.Divi Kervella, Mikael Bodlore-Penlaez, Guide des drapeaux bretons et celtes, Fouenant, Éditions Yoran Embanner, 2008, p. 118, .
