The two colors are defined in the Polish constitution as the national colors. A variant of the flag with the national coat of arms in the middle of the white stripe is legally reserved for official use abroad and at sea. A similar flag with the addition of a swallow-tail is used as the naval ensign of Poland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">White and red (<strong>bia\u0142y i czerwony<\/strong>) were officially adopted as national colors in 1831. They are of\u00a0heraldic\u00a0origin and derive from the\u00a0tinctures(colors) of the coats of arms of the two constituent nations of the\u00a0Polish\u2013Lithuanian Commonwealth, i.e. the White Eagle of Poland and the\u00a0Pursuer\u00a0of the\u00a0Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a white knight riding a white horse, both on a red shield. Prior to that, Polish soldiers wore\u00a0cockades\u00a0of various color combinations. The national flag was officially adopted in 1919. <strong>Since 2004, Polish\u00a0Flag Day\u00a0is celebrated on May 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The flag is flown continuously on the buildings of the highest national authorities, such as the\u00a0parliament\u00a0and the\u00a0presidential palace. Other institutions and many Polish people fly the national flag on national holidays and other special occasions of national significance. Current Polish law does not restrict the use of the national flag without the coat of arms as long as the flag is not disrespected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2016\/08\/poland-eagle-flag-350x350.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2016\/08\/poland-eagle-flag-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2016\/08\/poland-eagle-flag-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2016\/08\/poland-eagle-flag.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>To the vast majority of people in the world, the question of \u2018how to fold a flag\u2019 would appear strange.
