Flag of the province of Overijssel
The flag of Overijssel consists of five horizontal bands in the colours (from top to bottom) red, yellow, blue, yellow and red, with the blue band being wavy. The Provincial Executive of Overijssel adopted the flag on 21 July 1948, after which it was put into use on 20 August that year.
The yellow and red stripes are intended to represent the province's historical ties with Holland. Red and yellow are the colours of the coat of arms of Holland and can therefore also be seen in the flag of South Holland and (accompanied by blue) in that of North Holland.
The wavy blue band in the Overijssel flag symbolises the river IJssel.
