The flag of Kragujevac (municipal website) is made of a white square with a hawk standing on a golden oak branch and the escutcheon from the coat of arms of Serbia in canton.
The hawk (kraguj, kobac) recalls the name of the
town, making the arms canting.
The canton recalls that Kragujevac was once the Royal capital of Serbia.

The mountaineering club "Žeželj" (Planinarsko Drustvo "Žeželj", website) is based in Kragujevac. Founded on 1 March 1992, the club is named for Žeželjj (481 m), one of the hills surrounding the town.
The flag of the club (photo) is blue with the club's emblem in the middle.
The emblem of the club shows a green mountain with two snow-covered
peaks, under a blue sky lit by a yellow sun partially hidden by a
white cloud. The emblem is surrounded by a yellow ring inscribed with
the names of the club and of the town, at the top and bottom,
respectively, in blue Cyrillic letters. "Serbia" is written in white letters in the base of the mountain, this writing being omitted from the self-standing emblem.
