Since the club was established in the Bavarian lands, the choice of the FC flag is also associated with the heraldry of Bavaria.
The three colors that are present on it have an appropriate meaning. Since the administrative district of Bavaria includes seven federal lands: Lower Bavaria, Upper Bavaria, Upper Franconia, Middle Franconia, Lower Franconia, Upper Palatinate and Swabia. FROMThe blue color on the flag symbolizes the lands of the Bavarians, and the red color symbolizes the Franconian.
The inner circle on the FC logo represents the flag and elements of the Bavarian emblem. A white-blue pattern with diagonal lines appeared in symbolism, thanks to the coat of arms of the Wittelsbach dynasty, which ruled Upper Bavaria from 1240 to 1918.
