scarfs

Hello @Ericmetro: at first thanks for the file but at second a little note: the color of the scarfs has to be red instead of blue. --Schwarz7201 (留言) 23:23, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Schwarz7201: no problem. :) This seems to be interesting, as the source of this file is from a flag on eBay with blue scarfs ([1]). I assume that there might be two versions (for different age divisions of the pioneers) of the emblem of the young pioneers in SFRJ? Since another source does show a red one ([2]), I'm going to do some research to see if the file need to be modified. --Ericmetro (留言) 03:46, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Ericmetro: I know in GDR the younger pioneers wore blue scarfs and the older red scarfs. But in SFRJ the scarfs always were red, so far I know. --Schwarz7201 (留言) 12:28, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Schwarz7201: Yes, I agree with you that it seems SFRJ pioneers worn red scarfs only. However I found some other photo with the blue scarf version. I also noticed there were two boys on the early version of the emblem, and a boy and a girl(both wear the hat) on the later ones. Therefore I assume the blue one is the earlier version of the emblem, and the scarf was changed to red and one boy was replaced by a girl pioneer when they update the emblem in later years. I'll modify this file to the later version when I find a color source, and keep the blue one to another file in the future.

Update: Still the majority of sources shows a blue scarf as below. I've consulted vexillologists from former SFRY area on FOTW website, and a red scarf is rarely seen.
