- (1842) Eenen zilveren schild met een groen eyken loofwerk voorzien met eykels ook groen en geplatst rondom den rand van het schildeken van Vlaenderen.
- (1993) In zilver een hartschild van goud, beladen met een leeuw van sabel, geklauwd en getongd van keel; het hartschild omkranst door twee eiketakken van sinopel.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 29, 1842 and again on February 16, 1993.
The arms show in an escutcheon the lion of Vlaanderen, surrounded by a canting symbol (compare also Kaprijke) and are first mentioned in the 18th century. An older version of the arms showed eight acorns around the escutcheon, later to be replaced by the oak branches. Both are canting, Eeklo means 'open place in an oak forest'.
 The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930 |
