Flag Poland

The Polish flag is a horizontal national flag measuring 90 by 150 centimetres, with two horizontal bands of equal width, white on top and red on the bottom. White and red are the national colours of Poland, and you see them everywhere whenever the Polish national team plays. Supporters hang this football flag from their balcony during the European Championship or World Cup, or take it to a country party, where each country has its own area.

This is what the 90 by 150 Polish flag looks like

• It measures 90 by 150 centimetres and is a horizontal rectangle.
• The top band is white and the bottom band is red, both of equal width.
• It does not feature a coat of arms, so this is the plain version in only white and red.
• The red is a bright, warm red that stands out sharply against the white.
• The flag is made by Funny Fashion.

Why is the white on top and not the red?

On the Polish flag, the white always goes on top because the national colours are based on the white eagle on a red shield. If you turn it upside down, it looks like the flag of Indonesia or Monaco, which have red on top and white on the bottom. In addition to this plain version, there is also a state flag with the coat of arms in the white band, but that is intended primarily for official use. For supporters and party decorations, the plain white-and-red flag is the usual choice.

A complete supporter look in white and red

Drape the flag over your shoulders like a cape and wear a red or white shirt underneath, and it will become the most eye-catching part of your outfit. Complete the look with red-and-white face paint on your cheeks, a scarf or a wig in the same colours. At a country party, hang it behind the bar or above the table with Polish snacks so everyone can immediately see which country is represented there.

Order the Polish flag and show everyone which country you are cheering for during the European Championship or World Cup.
