Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.shipmate.nl/flags.htm
adopted 28 Aug 1986
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.
Source: Vexilla Nostra 118 (Jan-Feb 1982); VN 115-94.
adopted 21 May 1981; design: Stichting voor Banistiek en Heraldiek.
It appears it was never used because nobody was able to
appreciate it.
