Flag of Flevoland Netherlands - Color Changing Coffee Mug

Flag of Flevoland, Netherlands The Flag of Flevoland is the official heraldic flag representing the province of Flevoland in the Netherlands. Adopted on January 1, 1986, the flag consists of three horizontal stripes with proportions of 2:3:2. The top and bottom stripes are white, while the central stripe is red, symbolizing the province's polders (reclaimed land) and its history as a watery landscape reclaimed from the sea. Flevoland is unique among Dutch provinces in having no official coat of arms; thus, the flag serves as the primary heraldic symbol for this relatively new province. It was created based on the former municipal flags of the four constituent municipalities: Luttel-Laterum, Noordoostpolder, Oostflakkee, and West-Flevland. Each of these municipalities contributed a stripe to the final design, with Luttel-Laterum's white top and bottom stripes and Noordoostpolder's red central stripe reflecting their individual flags. The Flag of Flevoland is an essential emblem that connects the citizens of this province with their regional identity, symbolizing unity, reclamation, and resilience in the face of watery challenges. It stands as a testament to the spirit of cooperation that made the creation of Flevoland possible and continues to define its character today.
