Additionally, the Union Jack features in many territorial and sub-national flags. These are often Red Ensigns (e.g., Bermuda) or Blue Ensigns (e.g.,
New South Wales). A small number have backgrounds of other colours (e.g.
British Antarctic Territory and
Niue) or a unique pattern in the field (e.g.
British Indian Ocean Territory and
Hawaii). A small number put the Union Jack somewhere other than the canton (e.g.
British Columbia). Unofficial flags, such as
Ross Dependency also use it.
