Flag in use before 1962
Franeker/Frentsjer is one of the 11 Frisian cities, located between
Leeuwarden and the Afsluitdijk (Enclosure-dam). It's an old university
town and the place where Friesland's most important yearly sporting event,
the 'PC' of 'kaatsen' (striking a ball with the open hand - pelote (?)
takes place on the 'Tsjûkelân". (a very small green)
The flag was in Hesman's flagbook of 1708 with 4 horizontal stripes
YBYB. On the advice of Klaes Sierksma the flag became simply YB, to avoid
confusion with the flag of Friesland's capital, Leeuwarden (BYBY). In 1984
Franeker merged with Franekeradeel and it is not known which (if any) flag
is used as city-flag.
