Edam-Volendam even older flag

by Jarig Bakker, 23 Nov 2003

The first municipal flag was: quartered diagonally; hoist three equally wide horizontal stripes RWR, with on the white stripe a
demi-facing bull in red contourcolors; top green; fly Orange-White-Orange with a foal on white in red contour-colors; bottom
black.
The basic colors are of the town of Edam (red-green) and of the village of Volendam (orange-black), ordered according to the traditional models of the Holland gueuzes. For some intricate reasons the two local emblems (the Edammer bull, and the Volendammer (canting) foal were designed in contours.

adopted 21 May 1981; design: Stichting voor Banistiek en Heraldiek. It appears it was never used because nobody was able to appreciate it.
