The Hyogo Sports Association flag was adopted in 1949 with a design of green, white, and blue from the top and a bull's face in the upper left corner. The green represents "mountain," the white "land," and the blue "sea," representing the climate of the prefecture. The bulls were also placed in hopes of the powerful and tenacious characteristics of the bulls, nicknamed "kotteri ushi" (bulls with a strong and tenacious character).
