Ukraine Flag History: What is the meaning of the blue and yellow colors on the Ukrainian Flag?

The meaning of the blue and yellow colors on the Ukrainian flag has two different variations or takes as for the recent definition. With the first interpretation of this being in the physical realm as a metaphor, that the blue represents blue skies and that the yellow stands in place for their golden wheat fields. The next iteration is a little more in the mental and emotional spectrum in that the blue constitutes calm while the yellow exemplifies and embraces joy. The people of the Ukrainian country pridefully adopted this design after their independence in 1991 from the Soviet Union, who had occupied the country since as early as 1917. From 1917 to 1922 was a struggle for power that the Soviet Union had ultimately won. During the Soviet Union's rule from 1922 to 1991, the Ukrainian flag was outlawed and any sort of display was punishable by law. The blue and yellow design was initially created and adopted in 1848 with a few differences over time involving the yellow on top and blue on the bottom. These different versions saw the yellow in place for the domes in their churches and the blue on the bottom for the Dnieper river that flows through the country.

What is Ukraine's official national symbol/image?

The official symbol or coat of arms of the Ukraine is a Blue Shield with a Gold Trident on it. While this was only officially adopted in 1992, it has been in use since as early as 1918, when brought in by the Parliament of Ukraine for their short stint as an independent nation. During Soviet occupation, 1922 to 1991, it would be that of the sickle and hammer. The Blue Shield with the Gold Trident would be declared the new national symbol in congruence with the coat of arms with the Ukraine's new found independence in 1992. We have several garden flags available we created that display this symbol. Be sure to shop our flag designs that feature this beautiful national symbol -Ukraine Garden Flag with Seal, In This Home We Stand With Ukraine, and Ukraine USA Garden Flag - Unite Stand With Ukraine.
