The problem with the current football flags in Germany is: there are
always dozens of versions for each of the clubs, and the simple variants
shown by Nicolas are sometimes regarded as old-fashioned.

The flag is related to an episode in the history of the currently named ‘Berliner FC Dynamo’, a former GDR football club better known as Dynamo Berlin/BFC Dynamo Berlin. Read all about its involved history here: The club bore the name ‘Sportclub Dynamo Berlin’ 1954-1966, having been founded in 1949 as a police sports football (soccer) club. From 1966 on the renamed club ‘FBC Dynamo Berlin’ would become and remain for a long time the premier GDR football club thanks to massive fiddling from on high.
A larger image of the emblem can be seen here:
Triangular shield with rounded corners, one point down and thinly fimbriation
in white, flanked by two yellow laurel branches and having a red scroll
underneath reading ‘Sportclub’ in white (“antique” German font).
The attachment – larger image available – bears this shield, not so very
large in fact, in the centre. It is fimbriated white and a white
space appears between the tips of the laurel branches.
Source: German eBay offer no. 260154960939 (end 2 Sep 2007) put up
by “wadenbeisser2006”. No dimensions given but the people holding up the
flag may give an idea of its size. The flag looks quite good given the
fact that the name ‘Sportclub…’ disappeared in 1966: even if the shield
was kept the name would have been changed I suppose.
On German re-unification (1990) the club was renamed and began a long
glide downhill, being no longer under high protection.

Nicolas, in your image, flag has 2 different red shades, in the cloth
and in the logo, is that right or should reds be the same shade?
Jose C. Alegria, 17 Apr 2005
Yes that is correct that there are 2 different red shades. If there
was one red you wouldn't see the difference between the red of the logo
and the red on background.

The name of this club is "1. FC Nürnberg" ("1. Fußball Club
Nürnberg"). Here is the club's website.
In the fanshop there are several variants of the flag, for instance
this
one. In most cases the flags indeed show two different shades of red
(the stripe being more purplish than the logo).

FC St.Pauli - In its heyday this football-club played in the German
Bundesliga. The flag is a horizontal white over ugly brown bicolor with
the clubs logo in its centre. The size of the logo differs, it is often
smaller than depicted. The colors are based on the clubs traditional sports
dress, white shirts and brown trousers. The logo is a red disk showing
a white Hamburg gate. It is surrounded by a white circle, containing a
black inscription: "FC ST.PAULI" (top) and "1910" (bottom) separated by
two black starlets. The inscription "1910" is a little bit embarrassing,
because according to its website
the club existed since 1907 as a department of the local gymnastics club.
The department was changed into an independent footclub later in the 20s.
