The flag of Brandon is an uneven vertical bicolour of one-third gold and two-thirds green. In the center of the green section is a simple shield in gold. On it is a black horse rearing on its hind legs, looking to the left. Above the horse is a row of three oak leaves stems in green, and over each leaf is a small green inverted āVā. In the upper part of the yellow section is a six-pointed snowflake in green, each arm bearing a stalk of wheat in golden yellow with black details, the stalks meeting in the centre.
Symbolism[]
The oak leaves honour the duke, as an oak tree appears in one of his coats of arms. The inverted āVās recall the roofs of houses in the city. The horse derives from the previous municipal emblem. The snowflake-wheat device is the municipal badge, and signifies the importance of this crop to the local economy and represents one of the cityās nicknames, āThe Wheat Cityā.[1]
