Poland Flag And The Flag Company Inc

By Erik Sorovsky


The origin of the flag of Poland can be associated with the Piast dynasty. It can also be linked to the White Eagle within a red field. The concept behind the design of the Polish flag can also be linked to the historical events that occur within Poland during the 18th and the 19th centuries.

Thanks to the resilience and pride of the people who value freedom above all, Poland has not only managed to overcome troubles but also has been offering its own contribution to European history and culture.

The reason behind the colors present in the national flag of Poland is the fact that these colors are usually found in military flags and royal standards from earlier times. Because all soldiers of Poland tend to wear caps with white cockades, white has been used as one of the colors of the national flag. The white in the Polish flag is known to represent the bravery of the Polish soldiers.

In the year 1830 to 1831, tricolor cockades which are composed of white, red and blue are worn by soldiers. The red and white combination is also worn by most soldiers. Because of the lack of uniformity on the cockades of Polish soldiers, the white and red combination was finally adopted as their official cockade. This adaptation happened on the 7th day of February 1831.

The flag of Poland consists of two horizontal halves - the top half is white and the bottom half is red. The colors of the Polish flag are based on the colors of the national coat of arms which is a white eagle on a red shield and dates back to 13th century. The red symbolizes the blood shed in the country's fight for independence and the white symbolizes peace. Since 2004, May 2nd is celebrated as Flag Day in Poland but it isn't a public holiday.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Poland flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Some flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Poland future.
