The colours of the flag of the town are given by the colours of the town's coat of arms. Therefore the colours of the coat of arms must appear on the flag according to their arrangement in the coat of arms in the following order: blue, gold, red. This is the authentic form of Dunaszerdahely's flag: The height of the flag is the half of its length. The first third of the field on the right /by the rod/ is blue along the whole height of the flag. The further two thirds are gold in the upper and red in the lower half with the division along the lengthwise axis. The flag of the town is used on special occassions; national holidays, local festivals and larger cultural events.
