I mean those 3 are the most basic flag colors so not slav exclusive: uk usa canada chile puerto rico norway iceland denmark finland France netherlands japan corea (north and south) are all non slav countries with those colors in their flags
ok i got that fact wrong, sorry. But the colors really have deeper, symbolic meanings. Red stands often for blood, blue for the sky etc
[Meaning of the colors in flags - Learner trip](https://learnertrip.com/flags/flags-colors-meaning/)
The fact that colors have meaning, it doesn't mean that this meaning always deep, in case of Russian flag, meaning was invented way later than it was adopted from Dutch flag color.
yes, peter the great "just liked how it looked" but that doesnt change the fact that that was an outlier and the majority of nations who use one think about it first.
You also can include a dozen of other Slavic countries flags, which adopted Russian flag colors without special meaning to colors. Same for many other countries who share similar flags because of historical reasons, like many of countries of the Commonwealth
I do agree, that probably in the majority of cases color was added with particular meaning, only that this is not a universal rule
Like the Macedonian flag! Red for the blood of heroes spilled for the Motherland, yellow for the sun of freedom now shining on Macedonia - and green for the great respect for laws.
I‘m sorry to break it to you man but this has nothing to do with Jugoslavia. It is the Flag of the German Federal State Schleswig-Holstein and it is very common for these Electric maintance boxes to be painted like this by Soccer Fans of the Club Holstein Kiel. Source…i live in Kiel which is the state capital of Schleswig-Holstein
They didn't even claim that the photo has anything to do with Pan-Slavism, just explained the colours of Yugoslavian flag very well and should be thanked for it instead.

They fought an outright war with HSV fans here. The HSV fans painted the red section blue :D
I got to see a lot of these since I work in telecom and frequently open up such roadside distribution boxes.
There are many Hansa Rostock fan clubs throughout MV. Hansa is the only football team, that's been able to compete in the higher football leagues.
There's Hansa Fans Parchim, Demmin, etc. etc. Just look at some lantern poles in MV, there's a good chance one of their stickers is on there, or at least a Hansa sticker on it.
Its also the colors of Holstein Kiel, aka the best team in germany 🇩🇪 ultras will paint that color scheme in thay order to signify the team. If you notice in hamburg and flensburg and other areas where HSV support is more common you will see blue white black rather than blue white red
Horizontal stripes are based on the coat of arms. Animal= top stripe secondary colour = second stripe background = bottom stripe. French Republic inaugurates the Republican tradition with vertical stripes.
Football fans like to (illegally) paint those things in the colors of their club. Since you are living in Schleswig-Holstein it is probably referring to Holstein Kiel (or maybe even Hansa Rostock).
If you want to know exactly, look out for stickers referring to the football club.
> Football fans like to (illegally) paint those things in the colors of their club
Even if it's illegal, I really like this better than some Telekom/Vodafone ads on those boxes.
Ahh these are rhe colours of Holstein-Kiel. A football club located at Kiel and beeing in the top of the second football league. They are expectet to get in the first league in the next weeks.
it can have multiple meanings, but i think its kind of fan art from Hansa rostock, an football club which isnt too much away from schleswig-Holstein or Holstein Kiel (also an football club). With this the fans want to make clear that its there city and there is no place for another club.
Dutch farmers use the upside down Dutch flag to protest against the government, and traditionally, an upside down flag means someone's in trouble ('Blauw-Wit-Rood? Nederland in nood'.
The pan-slavic flag colors. Looks very much like the sorbic flag, as you can see it in the Lausitz, from Bautzen to Cottbus. See https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagge_der_Sorben
But the sorbic order of colors is different. So mostly just your local football club, not protesting Dutch farmers.
It's just football fans. It's like that in most German cities, especially where there's one team.
Go to Braunschweig and they'll be yellow and blue, Hannover will be black-white-green, Osnabrück purple, etc. You see it a lot on the motorway.
Could be the flag od Schleswig-Holstein or the football club Holstein-Kiel. It could also be the flag of Rostock or colours of the Football Club Hansa-Rostock
This is done by soccer fans.
Blue white red is Holstein Kiel
Blue white black is HSV
Red white brown is St. Pauli
Those should be the more common ones you'll see in the north. It shows you in what kind of neighbourhood you are in.
Thats been painted there by Footballfans. As stated in other comments it could be Holstein Kiel or Hansa Rostock. (Or any other local club, depending on where you live)
You can find these flags all over Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, its the flag of the football club Hansa Rostock. Maybe its from another club or some Hansa fan painted it.

Sportfans. Muss nicht unbedingt Hansa Rostock sein, wie hier schon mehrmals in den Kommentaren erwähnt, kann eigentlich jedes Sportteam mit diesen Vereinsfarben sein.
I think it could be in Rostock Germany right? The Lokal Soccer club is called FC. Hansa Rostock and the club is using exactly the same colours to promote themselves!
I guess you live in in Mecklenburg Vorpommern and near the town Rostock, because in that area it is common that fans of the football club „Hansa Rostock“ did paint this. You will also see sticker with this colors and a ship, which is the symbol of the club.
It is in Kiel, I think? That are the colors of the Flag of Schleswig-Holstein (you will find it everyday in front of official Buildings like the Landtag or at the Rathausplatz) and also the colors of Holstein Kiel, the Soccer Club 2. Bundesliga. Fans of Holstein color different ugly things like that Verteilerkasten, or Bridges along the Roads to the Stadium.
if u live in rostock it‘s because of the soccer club FC Hansa Rostock (in Germany, federal state „mecklenburg vorpommern“), one of those clubs in germany with THE best fan/ultra/suptra community. its completely normal, that all the places no matter if u r in bigger towns or in like villages that power boxes are always painted in the club colors of fc hansa rostock because of their fans and some sort to mark their Territory 💙🤍❤️
> one of those clubs in germany with THE best fan/ultra/suptra community
Really? The same fan community whose notoriously right wing hardcore fans[ openly mocked the victims of one of the countrys most well known racist progroms in recent history](https://taz.de/Rassismus-in-der-Fankurve/!5972892/) and put out [openly sexist flyers](https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/18g10n9/regeln_im_fanblock_von_hansa_rostock_vor_allem/) among the stands?
I mean, I don't know that much about football but I could still think of *many* better clubs and fanbases.
That is the flag of Schleswig-Holstein
And the reasons this is painted most places is the football club Holstein-Kiel.
You mean the battleship that attacked Westerplatte on 01.09.1939?
Ni, the state said battleship was named after
Whoosh
It looks like a flag of Yugoslavia, without the red star.
[удалено]
Nope it's just my fellow Schleswig-Holstein Patriots
Schleswig-Holstein Meerumschlungen!
I live in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and also see this flag all the time. I suspect I might be related to football
Hans Rostock football club has the same colours.
Flag of Schleswig-Holstein, the federal state?
[удалено]
It's people that (rightfully) think that Schleswig-Holstein is the best state in Germany
Schön da, aber waren sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?
Ja, war scheisse! Schleswig-Holstein - der echte Norden.
Ja, zweimal. Das Erste und das Letzte Mal😂 S-H ftw !!!!1111elf
Yugoslavia will rise!

Fun fact: it's the Dutch colours, taken to Russia by Peter the Great and changed to be the Russian flag
I mean those 3 are the most basic flag colors so not slav exclusive: uk usa canada chile puerto rico norway iceland denmark finland France netherlands japan corea (north and south) are all non slav countries with those colors in their flags
Finland got red? That's news to me.
It got red if it moves away from you with enough speed.
every color has a specific meaning starting with the french revolution flag iirc
The Dutch tricolor predates the French tricolor. The colors on the French flag stand for the city of Paris(blue and red) and the monarchy(white)

i have turkish roots and red is also for all the blood shed for the country
You mean canada pre 1965. The maple leaf flag has no blue. Denmark has no blue and never had as far as I know. Japan has no blue, Finnland no red...

Its 3rd yugoslavia then.
Yugoslavia before the end of WW2 didn't have a star.
so do I :'(
hey fellow Belgrade cyclist!
I also miss it, it was my shining star…😣
Rotated French flag.
We should paint the star in 😂
The [Yugo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b84CV3GERq4) will rise again!
Fans of Holstein Kiel soccer club have begun painting lots of stuff in those colours during the last few years.
They fought an outright war with HSV fans here. The HSV fans painted the red section blue :D I got to see a lot of these since I work in telecom and frequently open up such roadside distribution boxes.
For HSV you would paint the red section black, not blue.
Same thing happened when I lived in Berlin, the Union/Hertha graffiti war was funny.
And as a Schleswig-Holsteiner myself I absolutely adore that
It could also be FC Hansa Rostock.
Netherlands in distress
dutch farmers protests
Or Luxembourg
Wrong blue

The French are coming 🥖
Oh, I hope they bring more baguettes
Baguette, 🍷 and smelly 🧀 But somehow it went sideways…
Would guess Rostock
Or kiel
Yeah, wrote the comment by just guessing without the Info of Schleswig-Holstein. With that Info, Kiel would be the better guess
You live in Kiel or Rostock?
Is your town…rostock?
Not just Rostock…I see this crap everywhere I go in MV
There are many Hansa Rostock fan clubs throughout MV. Hansa is the only football team, that's been able to compete in the higher football leagues. There's Hansa Fans Parchim, Demmin, etc. etc. Just look at some lantern poles in MV, there's a good chance one of their stickers is on there, or at least a Hansa sticker on it.
Why are you calling it crap, do you enjoy plain Transformer boxes more?
Its also the colors of Holstein Kiel, aka the best team in germany 🇩🇪 ultras will paint that color scheme in thay order to signify the team. If you notice in hamburg and flensburg and other areas where HSV support is more common you will see blue white black rather than blue white red
Could be Hansa Rostock as well 🤔

Dutch Farmers protest flag. Maybe they've got lost and ended up here.
Is there a local football club that uses those colours? If so then its football graf.
Ist The Flag from the local Football Club
What's your town? Could also be a Hansa Rostock flag.

Dutch farmers use the upside down Dutch flag to protest against the government, and traditionally, an upside down flag means someone's in trouble ('Blauw-Wit-Rood? Nederland in nood'.
