“The flag of the Netherlands (Dutch: Vlag van Nederland) is a horizontal tricolor of red, white, and blue. The tricolor flag is almost identical to that of Luxembourg, except that it is shorter and its blue stripe is a darker shade.

It originates as a variant of the older orange-white-blue Prinsenvlag (“Prince’s Flag”), introduced in the 17th century as the Statenvlag (“States’ Flag”), the naval flag of the States-General of the Dutch Republic.

Its official status as the national flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was formalized in 1937.” (Source: here)

The Netherlands flag has the same colors as many other flags, so we came up with a regimental striped tie with a unique logo at the bottom. The windmill is an unofficial symbol of Holland and very recognizable. As well, the color orange is really important to the Dutch – William I of Orange organized the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule, which after the Eighty Years’ War led to an independent Dutch state (Source: here). The color orange is a major symbol of pride for the Dutch and can be seen being worn by most supporters of Dutch sports. Knowing that, we colored the windmill symbol orange as a nod to the affinity for the color orange in The Netherlands. Simple, recognizable and a little fun; that’s what we were going for and we think that’s what we got.
