Flag of Siauliai county - Siauliai apskritis. Coat of Arms at
<www.siauliai.aps.lt>.
All county flags and Coat of Arms adopted on 2004 by Heraldic
Commission of Lithuanian Department of Interior.

Siauliai county - on silver field charging red armed
black bear, and blue bordure with 10 Jogaila crosses. Flag
proportions 5:6, free edges bordered with silver rope, finial is
golden tip.
The bear means Samogitia, as most of
county lands are Samogitian. For distinguishing it from the arms
of Samogitia and Telsiai county, the collar is removed and the
colour of field is changed from red to silver. The silver
field also reflects the traditional white colour of flags and
battle banners of Samogitia.
The blue border with 10 Jogaila crosses is a common element for
all counties of Lithuania: the border means dependence, the
Jogaila cross means Lithuania, and 10 means the number of
counties. Colours golden on blue are traditional for Jogaila
cross in Lithuanian heraldry.
