The coat of arms and the flag of Sinj are presented on the city
web site with an extract from the decision of the Ministry of
Administration approving their use (the request from the city for
approval is dated 25 September 2003). I suppose that coat of arms
and the flag may have been adopted in 2002.
The coat of arms of Sinj is: azure a horseman on a running horse
holding a spear in his right and a circular shield ensigned with
alka in his left all argent and in chief a crown or.
The horseman is an alkar in traditional garment -
participant in traditional knightly game played in Sinj for
almost 300 years - since 1715, in memory of the victory of 700
soldiers from Sinj over the 60.000 Turksih soldiers. The alka
is a double concentric ring that is to be pierced with the spear
by horseman.
The flag is white with the coat of arms in the middle.
