Description

Zwolle Flag

Blue with a white cross: the flag of Zwolle

This flag is blue, with a broad white cross that reaches all four edges. The cross is centred and straight, so the blue is left as four rectangles.

What the council decided

The municipal council adopted the flag on 28 May 1962. The description is «Blauw, met een oversnijdend wit kruis», and the ratio is 2:3. The article gives the arms of the cross as one third of the height of the flag wide.

Colours of the arms, colours of a saint

The pattern and the colours come from the coat of arms of Zwolle. According to the article these colours match Saint Michael, the city's patron saint, as blue is linked to Michael in the Book of Revelation, where he leads the heavenly armies against the devil.

The reverse flag

In 1962 the vexillologist Sierksma described an earlier, unofficial historical flag as «Wit, met een oversnijdend blauw kruis»: white with a blue cross, the colours of the arms reversed, which is common in flags. The council adopted the blue and white version after this historical design was brought to its attention.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Zwolle or Overijssel, or with roots in the Hanseatic city on the IJssel; for those who live far away and carry their city with them; for the municipality and its ceremonies, for students, clubs, associations and local businesses; for fans of the city's teams. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
