Pomorskie vojvodship coa since September 2001: black griph on yellow
shield, like on pl)pm.gif
O. Myszor, 20 Nov 2001
Pomorskie vojvodship has an official coat of arms since September 2001.
It is similar to the little yellow shield (without a crown) with a black gryphon, as on your coat of arms (this coat was only a proposition). Black
gryphon is a symbol of Cassubia and Pomorskie coat is similar to Cassubian.
There aren't any vojvodship flag, but I heard, that it was proposition:
yellow 2:3 flag with black gryphon (like this on coat of arms). The gryphon was in center,
about 50% of height.

In today local TV news there was an information about Pommeranian voyevodship
coat of arms (black gryphon on yellow background; this project was accepted by Sejmik
Wojewodzki (local parliament) in September 2001). Few days ago Komisja
Heraldyczna (Heraldical Commission) rejected this project (It wasn't said
why; probably because it is only a symbol of Cassubia, not all of Pomerania). Sejmik changed this coat of arms slightly and ratified it as official
coat of arms.
