Belgium Flag 🇧🇪
THE DESIGN
3' x 5' polyester Belgian Flag with grommets and double-stitched edges to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: The national flag of Belgium is a classic example of a vertical tricolor that reflects the nation's bold spirit and its historic fight for independence from the Netherlands. Adopted in its current form in 1831, the vertical arrangement was chosen specifically to distinguish it from nearby horizontal designs and to honor the revolutionary style popularized by the France flag. While many people often mistake it for a rotated version of the Germany flag, the Belgian "Tricolore" has its own unique proportions and a much older lineage.
The colors (black, yellow, and red) are taken from the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant. The black stripe represents the shield of the lion, the yellow stripe symbolizes the lion itself, and the red stripe denotes the lion’s claws and tongue. Together, these colors represent the strength and resilience of a nation situated at the literal heart of Europe. It is a design that has remained a constant symbol of sovereignty through two world wars and the formation of the European Union.
National Days of Celebration: The flag is the centerpiece of Belgian National Day on July 21, which commemorates the day in 1831 when Leopold I took the oath as the first King of the Belgians. It is also flown with pride on King's Feast every November 15 to honor the monarchy.

It really depends on the environment it is flying in. Direct UV exposure, wind, rain, latitude, and especially hitting things like the brick on a house will shorten your flag's life. Also, dark colors fade first and the fastest. See our care page to make your flag last the longest!
