The Union Jack itself is composed of red and white intersecting and overlayed vertical and diagonal crosses on a blue background,\n\n The Southern Cross in the second quarter (also known as the top or head) and fourth quarter. Consists of five stars in a more or less kite-like pattern - Alpha Crucis (7-point), Beta Crucis (7-point), Gamma Crucis (7-point), Delta Crucis (7-point) and the smaller Epsilon Crucis (5-point). The outer diameter of each of the 4 major stars is 1/7 the width of the fly and the inner diamter is 4/9 outer diamete; the diameter of Epsilon Crucis is 1/12 the width of the fly and the inner diameter is 4/9 the outer diameter. The constellation of the Southern Cross is a significant navigational feature of the southern hemisphere, strongly places Australia geographically and has been associated with the continet since its earliest days, \n The Commonwealth Star or Star of Federation, central in the third quarter or lower hoist, has seven points to denote the six states and the combined territories of the Commonwealth. The seventh point was added in 1909. The outer diameter is 3/5 the width of the Union Jack (3/10 the width of the fly) and the inner diameter is 4/9 the outer diameter.

For 140 years (1819-1959), the Union Jack flew over Singapore. Then, on 3 December 1959, the National Flag, an important symbol of independence, was unveiled at the installation of the new Head of State, the Yang di-Pertuan Negara. Also unveiled that day were the State Crest and the National Anthem. The flag was conceived and created by a committee headed by the then Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Toh Chin Chye.\n\nThe Flag consists of two horizontal halves, red above white. Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of men; white, purity and virtue. In the upper left corner, a white crescent moon and five white stars form a circle. The crescent moon represents a young nation on the rise. The five stars stand for Singapore's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

The dutch royal family is the house of Orange. Hence the colour.\n\n"The Dutch flag's original colors were orange, white and blue, but were changed to red, white and blue in the 17th century. The latter and most recent colors were taken from the Orange-Nassau coat of arms. But the orange color has been secured in relation to the Dutch Royal house: an orange streamer is flown above the flag during national holidays."

Green and gold are the national colours of Australia, as proclaimed by Sir Ninian Stephen, the Governor General of Australia on 19 April 1984. The exact colours were specified as being Pantone Matching System numbers 116C and 348C. Green and gold are also the traditional team colours of Australian national sporting teams. Nearly every current Australian national sports teams wears "The Green and Gold", although the hues and proportions of the two colours may vary between teams and across eras. It is widely believed that the colours were chosen because they are the dominant colours of Australia's floral emblem, the Golden Wattle.\n\nThe phrase Green and Gold is used exclusively in this context, even when the hues and proportions might be more accurately described in some other way, such as "yellow and green".\n\nTeams that wear the green and gold include:\n\nthe Australian cricket team (one day cricket); \nthe Kangaroos (rugby league); \nthe Socceroos (men's soccer); \nthe Matildas (women's soccer); \nthe Wallabies (rugby union); \nthe Australian Summer Olympics team; \nthe Boomers (men's basketball); \nthe Opals (women's basketball); \nthe Mighty Roos (ice hockey). \nNote: Since 1961, the Wallabies have worn a gold jersey with green lettering and trim; they changed from a primarily green jersey in order to avoid a colour clash with the Springboks of South Africa.\n\nThe first Australian national sporting team to wear green and gold was the Australian cricket team that toured England in 1899. The Australian cricket team continued to use the colours thereafter, and in 1908 the colours were ratified as the official team colours for future Australian cricket teams. During subsequent discussions by members of the New South Wales Cricket Association, the colours were reportly referred to as "gum-tree green" and "wattle-gold".\n\nThe Australasian Olympic team adopted "green and wattle" in 1908, but not every team played in the colours. In the 1912 Olympics, an official Australian uniform was adopted for the first time: green vests with gold trimming, and white shorts with green and gold trimming. The Kangaroos adopted the green and gold in 1929, with other teams following.\n\nSo it's not Australia copying others, but others copying them!!!

The Italian flag long time ago was blue with a blue star in the middle pretty much like the Somalian one which was under Italian rule. Because of the similarities, Italy changed their flag to red, white, green, but the national team colors stayed the same.\n\nNow the Azzuri on the jersey is a representation of the sea that surrounds it or the sky

The number five refers to the five continents. He chose six colors (white, red, yellow, green, blue and black) because each flag of the countries that were part of the Olympic movement contain at least one of those colors. The Paris Congress in 1914 was so taken with the design that they adopted it as the official flag of the Olympic movement. The new flag made its debut at the 1920 games in Antwerp, Belgium. It was here that the rings became the official Olympic symbol.\n\n The Olympic flag measures 2.06 m long, 60 cm high and is completely white with five circles in the center. The top three circles, from left to right, are blue, black and red. The bottom two circles, from left to right, are yellow and green. The white background symbolizes peace and truth. The five rings represent the five continents of the world, but a prevalent post-facto interpretation has tied specific colors to specific continents:\nOlympic Flag\n\n• Blue representing Europe\n• Black representing Africa\n• Red representing America\n• Yellow representing Asia\n• Green representing Australia (Oceania):-)
