Napapijri uses the Norwegian flag as its logo. The flag also appears
on many Napapijri garments.

"NAPAPIJRI, pronounced with a silent 'J', means Artic Polar Circle in
Finnish Language. Napapijri is also the name of a small village
located on the Polar Circle.

NORWEGIAN FLAG: The Norwegian flag appears on many of the garments as
a tribute to the Norwegian explorers that first traveled to Polar
Regions by foot and by dog sled over 100 years ago. Permission to use
the Norwegian flag as a Napapijri logo was happily granted by the King
of Norway, Harald the 5th."

Napapijri is just one of several clothing manufacturers that use a
Norwegian flag as a part of their logo, both on their products and in
advertising.  Both Devold
(http://www.devold.no/Outdoor/English/Heritage.asp) and Dale
(http://www.dale.no/dale/don/home.nsf/frameset/sport_main2?opendocument)
put a small embroidered patch on their sweaters and hats - this patch
carries a Norwegian flag and their brand name.  There are several
others using the flag in a similar matter.
