qaleghqa’neS!
I’m wondering whether there are any canon-friendly Klingon banners or flags that I can fly in public that are not the very, very nazi looking red-white-black one.
I live in Germany and the alternative might even put me into legal trouble based on whether the judge is having a good day or not, and I just don’t want to take any chances or arouse any undue attention from neighbors who don’t know anything about Star Trek.
I know there’s the green-yellow-red emblem that’s much better, but the only full flags that I can see are butt-ugly, non-rectangular green banners from DS9.
There’s also this really cool looking one from Star Trek VI apparently, but I don’t know what the canon implications are or where to get one:
Any ideas?
Don’t. Flying a Klingon flag is a recipe disaster. Pretty much any non Trekkie is going to think you are a nazi
By all means, have you read any of the post? That’s the entire point.
As a fellow german I can confirm that such a flag triggers strong nazi vibes.
That is the entire point of the post. I was not talking about the red-white-black standard one.
Hell if I know how expensive a custom flag is to get printed but
or 
both look pretty good. Worry less about canonicity and more about if the aesthetics work for you.So what I think you want is the DS9 era Klingon emblem.

According to this article this is the banner that was used on the Promenade in DS9. This is a “chair drape” (whatever that is) but maybe you could use it as a flag, convert it to a flag, or have a custom flag made based on this?
not the very, very nazi looking red-white-bla
Fascinating, I never would have thought a Klingon flag was Nazi.
I mean, it’s a red flag with a white circle in the middle featuring an abstract bold black symbol in the middle. Any German including me sees it as a nazi flag immediately.
Dunno, that just looks like an off-center misprint of the Japanese flag. :P
