The centennial flag of Valdese is a green-white-red (1:1:1) vertical tricolor
with the town seal extending from the green stripe to the red stripe. The town
site at http://www.ci.valdese.nc.us/
shows an image of a 1:2:1 green-white-red flag-like object that might be a logo
for water conservation, or may be the current town flag. The image above appears
to show a bleed through of black ink from a different design on the reverse of
the flag.

Valdese was formed as a Waldensian settlement. Although Peter Waldo was from
Lyon, the Waldensian (Valdese) movement took firmest root in the Italian Alps,
which is probably where the Waldensians in North Carolina came from. Thus it
would not be unreasonable for the Valdese, NC, flag to have red, white, and
green colors.
