Overijssel

The flag of Overijssel, a province of the Netherlands, is divided into five horizontal stripes of equal width, colored red, yellow, blue, yellow, and red. The center stripe is a wavy stripe with three waves.
==Symbolism==
* The blue stripe represents the Ijssel River (also is an element of the provincial coat of arms).
* Red and yellow are the colours of the coat-of-arms of Holland and represent the historical link between Overijssel and the province of Holland.
==History==
The current flag is the first officially adopted flag of Overijssel. But in 1938 an unofficial horizontal tricolour of red, yellow, and blue was used to represent the province.
