Designed by local man Philip Tibbetts, the flag features the county's famed black pear - a symbol reported to have been used by Worcestershire units at the battle of Agincourt. Additionally a pear tree is seen on the local council's arms. Six pears, symbolising the county's five traditional hundreds plus the city of Worcester, are seen on a stylised black silhouetted tree, which is charged against a white field between two green panels. These latter colours symbolise the verdant flood plain of the River Severn as it runs through the county. The dark green hue is that worn by the county's cricket team.
