The Slovak flag: the tricolour and the double cross
Slovakia’s flag is a horizontal tricolour of white, blue and red, the pan-Slavic colours it shares with Russia, Slovenia and Serbia, with the national coat of arms set towards the hoist: a red shield with a white double cross, the patriarchal cross of Saints Cyril and Methodius, rising from the middle peak of three blue hills, Tatra, Fatra and Mátra. The plain tricolour was adopted by Slovak patriots in 1848, and the arms were added when the flag of the independent republic was set out on 1 September 1992, the date now kept as Constitution Day, a few months before Czechoslovakia separated on 1 January 1993. The arms sit in the hoist half so that the flag is told apart from Russia’s and Slovenia’s at a glance. Our Slovakia flag prints the arms at the correct position and size, with the double cross and hills clearly defined.
Constitution Day, hockey and the Slovak community
Constitution Day on 1 September and the Day of the Establishment of the Republic on 1 January are the national flag days, with Slovak National Uprising Day on 29 August alongside them. The Slovak community in Britain, with centres in London, Peterborough, Sheffield, Bradford and Glasgow, marks them with community dinners, folk evenings and the Slovak Catholic mission’s feasts, and Slovak shops and restaurants keep the flag up all year. Ice hockey is where the flag is seen most, for the national team at the World Championships and for Slovak players in the NHL and across Europe, and it also follows Peter Sagan’s cycling fans, Petra Vlhová’s skiing, the national football team and the Slovak folk ensembles that tour Britain each summer.
Picking a size
A 5ft x 3ft is the size for a pole, a balcony or a bar wall; a 3ft x 2ft for a window, a short pole or a desk wall; an 8ft x 5ft for a large fixed pole or a hall backdrop; and a 20x12in for a car or a hand pole. Flagtex is the lighter printed polyester for indoor displays and short outdoor use, DuraFlag the knitted heavyweight with double-stitched edges for a flag that stays out for the season. Sewn headers and brass eyelets are standard, and clips or rope-and-toggle are offered on the DuraFlag.
Slovakia bunting
Slovakia bunting is a string of rectangular pennants printed with the tricolour and arms, on a tape in 3m and 9m lengths. A 3m run dresses a bar counter or a doorway for Constitution Day; a 9m run goes along a hall or around a tent for a folk evening. The pennants are polyester, printed on both sides, and can be left out in the weather.
Hand flags and table flags
Slovakia hand flags on wooden sticks come in 9x6in and 18x12in for hockey arenas, parades and the fan zone. The Slovakia table flag is 6x4in on a base for an office or a restaurant table, and the large wooden table flag at 18x12in suits an embassy reception or a club dinner. Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Austria flags are under world flags.
Slovak flag FAQs
What is on the Slovak coat of arms?
A white double cross standing on the middle of three blue hills, on a red shield. The cross is the patriarchal cross of Saints Cyril and Methodius and the hills are Tatra, Fatra and Mátra.
How is the Slovak flag different from the Russian flag?
The stripes are the same white, blue and red, but the Slovak flag carries the coat of arms towards the hoist; the Russian flag is plain.
When was the Slovak flag adopted?
1 September 1992, with the constitution of the Slovak Republic, before the country became independent on 1 January 1993.
Where should the coat of arms sit on the Slovak flag?
In the hoist half, centred vertically, taking up roughly half the height of the flag; ours is printed to that layout.
Which Slovakia flag size for an ice hockey screening?
8ft x 5ft behind the screen, 5ft x 3ft on the walls and 18x12in hand flags for the crowd.
Which grade for a garden flagpole?
DuraFlag, the knitted heavyweight with reinforced hems that is built for extended outdoor use; the Flagtex is better kept for indoor displays and single events.
