Friendly reminder that Sweden actually has two flags. A lighter flag (left) used by the left to talk about Sweden being a humanitarian superpower, socialism built this country, etc. It comes from a misinterpretation of the 1906 flag code. And a darker flag (right). This is the real flag, symbolizing the Swedish nation and people.
The one on the right certainly looks better. Can you give me more details about how it's a misinterpretation? The English wikipedia article only says that the 1906 flag code 'further regulated the use and design of the flag, notably was a lighter blue colour than was used before'.
This is a meme but even if it wasn't it looks atrocious.

No you are retarded lmao It only started being light due to a misinterpretation. And it has been "light" only since 1902, beyond that it was darker blue
Christian Hernandez
That’s better, I was about to be offended at the lack of diversity.
Before 1906, it had an even darker blue, like . Then it was changed to the one in the OP (right). Now, what people do digitally, is that they try to represent how the flag looks like when flown against a light background (e.g. the sky). This is why it looks so pathetic, because it has the color of the sky mixed in. They believe this is correct because it specified a "lighter blue", without understanding what it was in reference to. The cuck left goes along with it because it's a nice excuse for co-opting the "problematic" flag. There was also a suggestion to change the blue on the police uniforms to make them less authoritarian, same reasoning.
The Swedish flag is really a remake of the family flag ot the "natt och dag" nobility (Night and Day family"
Benjamin Gray
All I see is more Blacked flag.
Nolan Jenkins
You realize that there is a cross on the flag, right? Originally the flag was a crusader banner and was flown vertically. I doubt Mohammed would like to use a literal crusade flag
Friendly reminder the codes for flags derive from the codes used in western Europe for coat of arms, and in no way such a difference is relevant. Both are described the same, any shade of blue and gold will do and remain valid.
Also friendly reminder that removing his dick to your lion on your coat of arms is the most shameful thing possible.
Dylan Campbell
source for swedish flag ever being a crusader banner?
Luis Gonzalez
Move to africa.

>Any shade of blue and gold will do and remain valid. Untrue

Some old Legend of a Swedish King during the Crusade into Finland that saw the Golden Cross on the Blue Sky

By promoting far right views in the public room and remind them that you are black everytime they try to call you racist
Levi Morris
So I'l move to africa and dont go on a muslim killing spree. Ok bye, gl with the rape.

Look up heraldic tincture. Almost all national flags follow heraldic rules.
After we retake Europe, we are going to retake Africa from the Chinese. We will creat a mulatto race to lord over the place, you will be among them. Help us by spreading propaganda and in the future join our organisation.
I'd go to war to prevent us using that shitty flag. Our current flag is literally GOAT and OC (all the other nordcucks copied it because the design is so good.)
Hudson James
I just know realised that Ikea got its colours from the Swedish flag I might be retarded

De första bilderna av en blå duk med gult kors som en svensk flagga är ett landskapsvapen för södra Finland från 1550-talet och ett för Gotland i Gustav Vasas liktåg från 1560. Två blågula flaggor finns fortfarande i Egentliga Finlands landskapsvapen, från tiden då Johan III var hertig i Åbo 1556-1569. sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_flagga

>OC It's just an off-center battle flag of the HRE
Grayson Gray
>an off-center battle flag of the HRE And that's what makes all the difference. Just look at the Swiss meme-flag. That center cross looks stupid as hell, almost as if LEGO designed their flag. And btw your flag looks like puke; that color combo is awful. When will you go back to pic related?
ccording to early modern legend,[citation needed][year needed] the 12th-century King Eric IX saw a golden cross in the sky as he landed in Finland during the First Swedish Crusade in 1157. Seeing this as a sign from God he adopted the golden cross against a blue background as his banner.
It has been suggested[according to whom?] that the Swedish origin legend is chosen to counter a parallel origin story for the Danish flag, also recorded in the 16th century. According to this theory,[citation needed] the Swedish flag was created during the reign of King Charles VIII, who also introduced the coat of arms of Sweden in 1442. The national coat of arms is a combination of King Albert's coat of arms of 1364 and King Magnus III's coat of arms of 1275, and is blue divided quarterly by a golden cross pattée.
Other historians[who?] claim that the Swedish flag was blue with a white cross before 1420, and became blue with a golden cross only during the early reign King Gustav I, who deposed King Christian II in 1521.
Early history
The exact age of the Swedish flag is not known, but the oldest recorded pictures of a blue cloth with a yellow cross date from the early 16th century, during the reign of King Gustav I.[citation needed] The first legal description of the flag was made in a royal warrant of 19 April 1562 as "yellow in a cross fashioned on blue".[8] As stipulated in a royal warrant of 1569, the yellow cross was always to be borne on Swedish battle standards and banners. Prior to this, a similar flag appeared in the coat of arms of King John III's duchy, which is today Southwest Finland. The same coat of arms is still used by the province.
>Just look at the Swiss meme-flag. That center cross looks stupid as hell The Swiss flag looks silly because the cross doesn't touch the borders, pic related is the battle flag. >And btw your flag looks like puke; that color combo is awful. I actually disagree with that, the mistake is to make it a tricolor see my next post. >When will you go back to pic related? Soon...
These are alright, but you def need a new flag. >Soon... Hopefully. Don't get me wrong, Hans - I think you guys are alright.

stockholms blodbad 1520 never forget

That's not a tricolor at all. Tricolor refers to to a triband with three different colors. The thing about tricolors is they need to contains white or they'll look like shit.
Owen Thomas
Flag is a symbol. Symbols are made of ideas. Other than that they're nothing but pieces of cloth.
Your flag no matter the color symbolizes mass-suicide on scale unseen in human history. When people see it they think of Islamic immigration and submission to the "new swedes".
Your flag is a fucking joke because your country is a fucking joke.
And this is coming from a Finn. We aren't that far behind in ethnically cleansing ourselves off this earth.
Jonathan Long
Same here, Sillsalladen
On the colours, the Swedish blue is the same blue the Norwegians have on their cross, i.e. hellalot darker than the cuck-blue
Ryan Lopez
No, the left one symbolizes what you're talking about. There's not one branch of the Swedish government which uses the right one. Even the police lightened up the uniforms to seem "less authoritarian". Do not get them mixed up!
Doesn't matter if you claimed it was the old tre kronor flag of the Swedish empire. Flag is only a symbol and people as a collective give meaning to symbols.
