Please find scan featuring Crusaders waving the new Crusaders Rugby Team
supporters flag at Orangetheory Stadium Christchurch.
This image was
featured on the front page of the Press Christchurch Monday 29th 2020. This flag
replaced the previous supporters flag featuring a Crusader Soldier with a sword.
This flag was considered offensive to the local Muslim community after the March
2019 killings of members of this community by a white extremist gunman. The Flag
now features a Maori motif but the team name retained the crusaders name.

Each of these [Super12, now Super14] sides has an official
flag which is a fairly horrible pattern formed from the
team colours with the team's logo superimposed on it.

The Crusaders (based in Christchurch) have a red flag with a black and white
image of the upper torso of a mediaeval knight brandishing a sword.
