Kingdom of Denmark Navy State Flag 200x382cm State flag (reserved for official occasions), warship and bowsprit, dating back to the 13th-14th century. Current proportions 56/107 (about 1/2); the depth of the carving is equal to 5/12 of the length of the cloth. This shape probably predates the rectangular one. According to a curious hypothesis, however, little founded on evidence, the name Dannebrog would have had a derogatory meaning in ancient times; responsible the Swedes, who would have interpreted it with derision as "breeches of the Danes": the dovetail version in fact vaguely resembles a pair of breeches hung out to dry. The red of the field is more lively than the national version.
