Municipal flag

The flag is a horizontal bicolor of blue-white-blue.

Before the Municipality of Almelo came into existence in 1914, it was divided in two (now former) municipalities - Stad Almelo and Ambt Almelo. I didn't find any mention of flag for any of them. However, they both had coats of arms. The current municipality uses the arms of the former municipality of Stad Almelo with supporters to avoid confusion.

I didn't find any emblem or flag for the villages, hamlets and districts of the current municipality. I attach here also the two flags used for the celebrations of the 75 years of the liberation held in 2020. https://www.facebook.com/75-jaar-Vrijheid-Almelo-113345233547757/photos/?ref=page_internal

The City District of Nieuwstraatkwartier (one of 12 districts) has a banner that is a modified version of the district logo. You can see it on several photos in outdoor and in indoor use in its Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/nieuwstraatkwartier/photos/
