Czech Republic Flag

Following the breakup of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic retained the original flag. In pan-Slavic colours, the blue triangle was added in 1920 to distinguish it from Poland

Product Description

We manufacture and supply the Czech Republic Flag flag ready to fly on the top a flagpole in either hand sewn or digitally printed options.

We highly recommend hand sewn national flags as the preferred choice for your flag. Manufactured using Ministry of Defence approved 155gsm woven flag material, this fabric offers the best possible durability and has been used by the Navy and other military branches for many years.

Hand sewn Czech Republic Flag national flags are made to MoD & Flag Institute standard patterns by cutting panels of the required colours from a roll of fabric, before being sewn together by our skilled flagmakers to create the official Czech Republic Flag pattern. National flag designs with complex details will have a printed panel or badge added to the main field of the flag.

Dye-sublimated Czech Republic Flag national flags are created using our state-of-the-art textile print systems and woven polyester flag fabric in our UK manufacturing facility. Chosen for strength and durability, knitted polyester is an ideal choice for anybody looking for a good value national flag finished ready to fly from your flagpole.

The Czech Republic Flag national flag is finished by hand with a headband rope and toggle as standard, ready to attach directly to a flagpole. The three exposed sides of the flag are finished with a strong double hem and a triple sewn hem on the fly edge for extra durability.

Other finishes are available, please be sure to select the correct option for you or contact a member of our team for support.

Brief History

he Czech Republic was originally the Kingdom of Bohemia that lasted for over seven centuries, firstly as a member of the Holy Roman Empire, and then the Austrian Empire, and finally the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The flag gets its red and white colours from the ancient Coat of Arms of Bohemia, however it was almost identical to the polish flag and contained the same colours as the Austrian flag.

At the end of World War I, Austria-Hungary was dismantled. US President Woodrow Wilson’s demanded the autonomy (and later independence) of Austro-Hungarian states. Consequently, the state of Czechoslovakia, incorporating the lands of Bohemia and with Prague as its capital, was born. In 1920 the blue wedge was added to make it different to the polish flag.

In 1938, following the Munich Agreement, Nazi Germany annexed the Sudetenland and dismantled Czechoslovakia. The country was divided into two states: the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, and the Slovak Republic.

After the war, the state of Czechoslovakia was reestablished, along with its old flag with blue wedge. However, it fell into Soviet orbit and would not reclaim democratic independence until the Velvet Revolution.

In the 1990s, problems between the Czechs and the Slovaks were resolved with independence for the new state of Slovakia, while the remaining western part became the Czech Republic. The latter inherited the historical flag of Czechoslovakia.

Vertical Hoisting

It is important to remember that a Czech flag, hung vertically, should feature the blue triangle at the top of the flag with the red colour to the right. This means showing the reverse side.
