If blue represents west, what represents east?

I do wonder about the specific shades chosen in the stripey lowlands flag.
Do they relate to other flags? Greens and blues have been used elsewhere of
course.

Sandy, your mountainy stripey flag doesn't work at all for me.

 Dear Lowlanders,


I’ve just been made aware of an initiative to institute a Low Saxon (Low
German) flag:

Aait wier den folkloristischen kraom den der bie haalt wordt... Wie leavt in
2010, nit 1900.

good gaon,

Ron skreev:

How about the Saxon horse? It's used in Northern Germany, the Eastern
Netherlands and in Kent, England. And Saxon houses tended to have the
characteristic crossed horse heads.

Snorre tells me that this horse ought to be black, that the usual white
horse represents Charlemagne. I didn't know that.


That's just a theory. Like you said, why is Kent's horse white too then?

good gaon,

Henry Pijffers
