This flag basically follows the Portuguese pattern for flags of major
cities, being gyronny of eight, yellow and blue, with the coat of arms on
the center. The coat of arms is blue, signifying Itajai's seaside
location, with a wavy silver stripe representing the Itajaí-Açu River, from
which the city takes its name. The anchor shows that Itajai' is a port
city, with its gold color signifying wealth. The silver chief with a cross
crosslet for the Christian traditions of the earliest settlements. The coat
of arms was adopted by law no. 1200 of 21 December 1972.
