Why do the people of Michigan want to change their flag?

It looks the same as (at least) fifteen other states' flags. It's not really a flag... it's more of a blue banner with the state seal on it. It rates VERY low on the list of distinctive state flags. School children can't draw it easily. Almost NOBODY in Michigan (citizens or businesses) bothers to fly it. There is very little state pride shown for it.

What do the colors of the german flag represent?

The German flag as we know it today was re-introduced when Germany received their independence from France, Britain, and the United States on May 23, 1949. East Germany was still under Soviet rule so they had a different flag than the German flag in the west. The flag originated in the beginning of the 19th century when Germans fought during the Napoleonic wars. The colors black, red, and gold were the colors on the uniforms the soldiers wore to fight. The first time the flag was raised was in 1832 during the Hambacher fest in Hambach, a town in Southern Germany. Today the town holds an annual festival called the Hambach black, red, and gold fest to celebrate the culture and history. The colors have remained the same and now represent unity, justice, and freedom. The words in the German National Anthem sung today include Germany's flag colors.

What do the colors on the Swedish flag represent?

The colors on the Swedish flag mean: Yellow - Generosity Blue - Vigilance, Truth, Loyalty, Perseverance and Justice AnswerThe Colours are believed to be derived from the Coat of Arms of Sweden, the flag modelled on the Danish flag which Sweden gained independence from. The Coat of arms came into being in the 15th century under King Charles Knutsson. According to myth Eric IX (the Saint/Holy/Lawgiver) saw a yellow cross in the sky as he landed in Finland for the Swedish crusade. He adopted the cross against a blue background as his banner. The story is earlier than the Coat of Arms theory. Note:- Giving meaning to colours is a relatively modern phenomena (historically speaking) usually ascribed to ex colonial countries using their flag as a rallying call and generally wouldn't be used before the 19th century. Most modern applications of peace justice etc to older flags doesn't stand up to any investigation. The earlier answer that the colours of Sweden's flag represent Sun and Sand is sweet but naive and er... wrong.
