Flags of the Club

RV Preußen-Saffonia

The new flag was a modification of the former Saffonia flag. The black eagle from the Preußen flag was added in the upper fly. The point of intersection of the crossbars was moved a bit to lower fly. The shield in the centre was replaced by a blade with the same pattern and a black shaft. The inscription in the lower fly became black and was changed to "RVP Saffonia". The cross was partially cotised yellow.
