Name: Ruderriege des SV Rot-Gelb Hamburg von 1926 e.V.
Located in: Hamburg

Description of flag: It is a horizontal 7-stripes flag with alternating yellow and red stripes starting with a yellow one. The hoist is a yellow triangle edged by a red chevron pointing to the fly. In the centre of the triangle is a rde-edged yellow scallop, being the symbol of the "Deutsche Shell AG" oil-company.

The club was formed by merging of  the "SV Shell Hamburg von 1930 e.V.", the formerly "Sport Verein Rhenania-Ossag Hamburg von 1926" and the "Betriebssportgemeinschaft RWE-DEA Hamburg e.V.". Both clubs were companies own sports clubs. Both companies were oil-companies. And the "Deutsche Shell AG" bought the petrol-section of "RWE", the "DEA", successor of "Deutsche Texaco" in maybe 2002.

Rot-Gelb Shell variant

I have seen another flag hoisted upon the boat-house. I believe it is the company-flag of the "Deutsche Shell AG".
The flag is white with a yellow vertical stripe (3-times width) and  a vertical red stripe at the hoist and the well-known scallop in the fly.
