Substitute flags before the establishment of the prefectural flag
Before the current prefectural flag was established, the flag designed with the symbol mark of Osaka Sports Association established in 1949 (Showa 24) was substituted for events such as National Sports Festival.[3]. The red course, which represents the energy of Osaka, an industrial city, on a white background that represents purity, is written vertically in the center of the truck surrounded by blue, which expresses the youth, sincerity and hope of the city of water [3]
