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.
The first recorded use of the coat of arms of Poland, a white eagle on a red shield, dates from the 13th century. The reason for the choice of colours is not known, but it may simply have been a desire to make a clear contrast to the arms of the neighbouring Holy Roman Empire (a black eagle on a golden shield). The early flags of Poland were armorial: the arms were transformed directly into a banner by filling the field of the flag with the shield design.
The current Polish flag was adopted on February 9, 1990. The national colors of Poland have been white and red since 1831 when the country first proclaimed independence from Russia. However, Russia retained control over Poland until after the First World War in 1918 when Poland again proclaimed and got its independence.
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 plain white-red bicolour of Poland was unaltered during the years of communist rule. For special purposesâ€"for example, display on merchant vessels, by diplomatic officers, and at airportsâ€"the coat of arms is added to the white stripe of the flag, but the state flag used by most government entities does not include the coat of arms.
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.
