Banners and Flag Poles - Holland and Friesland
I have traveled back and forth to the Netherlands for the last few years and it sure is one of my favorite places to visit. This beautiful country consists of a number of the different provinces, that each flies their unique flags and banners. For example, the so called Frisian flag (in Dutch "Friese vlag"), is the official provincial flag of the province of Friesland. This flag displays beautifully from flag poles throughout this respective territory.
The flag as flown from posts and flag poles in modern times consists of 4 blue colored and 3 white diagonal stripes or bands, each band being of the same width. Interestingly, the 3 white stripes display 7 red colored heart-shaped leaves of a water-lily. Since this particular province is quite patriotic, objects of all kinds are modeled after this wonderful flag, including soccer jerseys.
The country of the Netherlands is well known for its location in relation to the sea. Surrounded by the North Sea on both the west and north side of the country, the Netherlands has fought a continuous battle against (sea) water. With a substantial part of the national territory below the actual sea-level, various provinces are protected from the sea through sand dunes and dikes.
The national flag of the Netherlands is (however) significantly different from the Frisian flag. The Dutch national banner is a tricolor type flag, displaying the colors red, white and blue on three equally sized horizontal bands. Fascinatingly, it is one of the oldest tricolors in the world that is still flown from commercial and residential flag poles in our day. Introduced back in 1572, it was not until the 20th century that the Dutch flag was officially adopted as the national flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Flags of different countries, including the Netherlands, are available in nylon and polyester for use with flag poles of all kinds. Provincial banners, such as Frisian one, are harder to get however. At times these flags are made available through flag rental opportunities or available for purchase through a custom flag company.
