- Au contraire! That leads to an misunderstanding, because Holland=Province and this flag only for this Province? The present name was chose for all Provinces in the Republic. The name schould not seen as the name for the flag! MVG --Sterntreter (talk) 06:18, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well, according to nl:Hollandsche Vlag it was called "Hollandsche Vlag", but "Statenvlag" by the other provinces. Maybe that's a better name then? Also, it seems that these colours were in use before the existance of the Dutch Republic, so I think a more general name is better. Thayts (talk) 11:54, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
