The generic symbolism for the flag's colours is the following: blue for the mountanins, white for the almost ever-present snow and green for the forests. Other interpretations defend the position of blue for Jamtland, white for Harjeadalen and green for Ravund; the three territorial and historical units that assemble the Republic of Jamtland. The seal in the center of the flag is a representation of an original honorific seal given to the Jamtland people by the King of Norway around 13th century.
