The municipality of Eersel is a merger of the former municipalities

The flag corresponds to the escutcheon on the municipal arms, with
the lion shifted to the hoist.
In 1935 (750 years of existence of Den Bosch) all municipalities of
Noord-Brabant received a banner consisting of the red-white blocks of the
provincial flag, with in the canton the municipal arms. The person on the
canton is St. Lambertus, patron saint of the church of Vessem.
