The Danish flag is the oldest current flag of a sovereign state. It was adopted in 1370 or earlier. The second oldest is Netherlands at 1572. #FACT
22nd October 2022:
Fun Fact: The Danish flag is the oldest flag currently in use by a country!
The flag consisting of a red background and a white Scandinavian cross' creation can be dated back to around 1219, though it was replaced several times. It returned as the official flag of Denmark by 1307, making it the oldest official flag still in use today by around 78 years, seconded by Scotland's.
Bonus Fact: The exact adoption of these flags is widely disputed with different sources claiming wildly different centuries even. To my understanding this is because of the certification of these flags, for example the Scottish Saltire flag dates back to around 500AD but was only officiated in 1385 to help distinguish in battle.
(Sources differed a lot so if you believe any of this information to be false please let me know so i change it :])
