Flag of Estonia

The flag of Estonia consists of three horizontal bands of blue, black and white, symbolizing the sky and lakes (blue), the determination of the people (black), and purity and freedom (white). First adopted in 1918, its use was banned during the Soviet era and then reinstated in 1990 upon independence. As one of the Baltic states’ flags, it strongly represents Estonia’s historical and cultural identity. The official specifications regulate proportions and color shades stringently. It is prominently displayed at international sporting events, official ceremonies and government buildings, embodying the pride of the Estonian people.
