If we look from the perspective of the countries, the only flag is the Sweden flag. But if we take into account the city and state flags, in this collection you will find a list of all the blue flags with a yellow cross.
Sweden
The Swedish flag’s yellow cross divides a blue field into four panels. The two panels beside the pole are shorter than those at the outer edge. Sweden’s flag law sets the rectangular flag’s proportions at 10:16.
The Swedish Empire was a major European power in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
Philadelphia (Color Comparison)
Philadelphia shares the blue-and-yellow palette, but its flag has no cross. Three vertical bands run blue, yellow and blue, with the city’s arms in the yellow center.
Wilmington
The Wilmington flag looks much like Sweden’s, with a city seal added at the intersection of the yellow cross.
Swedish colonists established Fort Christina here in 1638. That was the beginning of New Sweden, not the first human settlement of the area. The Lenape already lived in the region.
Verona
The Verona flag places its yellow cross in the center of the blue field. This is the clearest layout difference from Sweden’s offset cross.
Verona’s Roman arena survives in the city, which is also the setting of Romeo and Juliet.
Pembrokeshire
A Tudor rose marks the center of Pembrokeshire’s yellow cross. The rose refers to Henry VII, who was born at Pembroke Castle.
Pembrokeshire is a county in southwest Wales. Its community flag combines the cross with a blue field.
Tilburg (Illustration Comparison)
The cross-shaped illustration here does not match the current flag published by Tilburg’s municipality. The official design uses blue and yellow blocks, with a blue block interrupting the yellow middle band.
Tilburg adopted that municipal flag in 1997.
