    Well maybe we could base it on the flags of the three states which at different times came closest to unifying all Germanics. So that is the Kalmar Union for the Scandinavians, Holy Roman Empire for the German-speakers and Dutch and St George's cross for England and Lowland Scotland.








    I'd combine them into one flag like this:


    Yellow from the Holy Roman Empire and Kalmar Flags, Red from the England and Kalmar Flags and White from the England Flag (without the white it'd be the Kalmar / Nordic Union Flag).

    Official meanings for the colour could be made up - with a lot of tricolour flags they make up some story for each colour - well do something like that.

    Actually... something is missing:



    The Cross of Burgundy flag was used when the Seventeen Netherlands were still a Burgundian (since 1512 part of the Burgundian Circle) and later on Habsburg fiefdom. So.. one could say that the double eagle of the HRE wouldn't represent us that much.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    An unofficial flag representing racial brotherhood, why the hell not? Maybe it would help some of the nags on this forum put their ethnic hatreds and WWII hangups behind them.

    I think we would have to omitt many things to make a pan-Germanic flag.

    Something tells me it'd be controversial:


    I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before...

    Pan-something flags usually come out ugly, like the 1864 pan-iberian flag. An aberration:

    If we were to combine those three flags, I'd imagine something more along the lines of this really.
    Not sure how to incorporate the Burgundian flag though. But would that be necessary when the flag of the HRE is in? Weren't the seventeen provinces part of the empire?
    You'll have to excuse my bad photoshop skills btw.

    I'm against the idea, we don't need anymore division between Germanics,Slavs, and Romance people.

    Have a look at these Pan-European Flags instead

    Look like a flag from some Banana Republic.
