turn red and blue. In the middle of the flag is placed the municipal
coat of arms, covering 1/3 of the flag.

be made of felt.
The flag's staff shall be coloured red and blue, with a spear-like
finial argent.

The first quarter represents the early colonizers and the pioneers. Red is a symbol of the famous war acts of the Portuguese people and of the resulting discoveries. The right arm represents the triumphs. The flag represent the pioneers, the four points standing for the four cardinal directions in which the country was built. The Cross of the Order of Christ recall the Portuguese sailors who discovered Brazil. Argent is a symbol of loyalty, respectability and nobleness, shared by the Portuguese people, the São Paulo people, the Empire, the Republic, and the pioneers. The second quarter represents the Christian faith of the Portuguese people. The lily is the floral attribute of St. Anthony, the patron saint of Lins. The third quarter is a tribute to Joaquim de Toledo Piza e Almeida, the descendant of a noble Spanish family, who offered in 1913 to the municipality of Bauru a piece of land to establish what would be the town of Lins. The fourth quarter symbolizes the cultural and physical progress and development.
