Custom Street Pole Banners - Custom Feather Flags

In most cases, black and yellow quartered racing flags indicate that the driver should slow down and overtaking is prohibited.

The flag of St. David is also a very popular black and yellow flag. On March 1 every year, St. David's Day is celebrated in Wales, United Kingdom. St. David is the patron saint of Wales. He lived as a Celtic monk during the 6th century and is known to have spread Christianity throughout Wales, thereby earning recognition. During the commemoration, his flag is displayed featuring a yellow or gold cross and a black background.

Before, the St. David's flag used to serve as an alternative to the official flag of Wales. However, it is being displayed less often. Usually, the flag is only displayed every March 1. People no longer get to see it substituting the Wales flag at present. It is more common to see the standard Wales flags in most events.

The University of Wales also used the very same colors on St. David's flag as its school colors in 1888. The colors also stood for the 38th Welsh Division during World War II.

Today, the Cardiff City Football Club also features the racing flag on its official logo. The logo features a yellow cross on a shield, a bluebird in the middle and a black background.
