Description

Zeeland Flag

Waves and a lion: the flag of Zeeland

This flag has seven horizontal wavy stripes, four blue and three white. In the centre is the crowned arms of the province: a gold shield with a red lion rising from blue and white waves, under a gold crown.

What the article says

According to the Dutch Wikipedia article, the flag is a blue field crossed by three wavy white bands, each one seventh of the height, with the crowned arms of Zeeland in the middle. The proportions are 2:3. The Provincial Executive (Gedeputeerde Staten) fixed it officially on 14 January 1949.

The designer and the stripes

The flag was designed by T.A.J.W. Schorer, then a member of the Provincial States of Zeeland. The Provincial States first wanted three blue and three white bands; Schorer argued that seven stripes were better balanced, and that dark edges contrast better against the sky, so the seven stripe design was adopted.

The arms and the water

The article says the arms have been in use since 1440; their origin is unknown. One theory reads the blue as the constant fight against the water; another as the struggle against the Spaniards.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Zeeland, Middelburg, Vlissingen or Goes, or with roots in the Delta; for sailors, holiday-home owners and beach clubs on the Zeeland coast; for those who live far away and carry their province with them; for clubs, associations and local businesses. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
