The flag is rectangular in shape and is brown in colour.
In the centre of the flag is a shield with a white outline. Within the shield is
the Prince of Wales feathers, in white, with the year 1845 across the base of
the feathers. Beneath the feathers is the word "SURREY" with "COUNTY
CRICKET CLUB" underneath it. All the lettering is white.
Wikipedia tells us:
Surrey's badge has featured the
Prince of Wales's feathers since 1915, when Lord Rosebery successfully
requested permission for their use. Surrey's historical link to the
Prince of Wales dates back to the birth of the club, which was only made
possible by the agreement of the Prince of Wales to allow his tenants at
Kennington Oval to sub-let the ground for the purposes of cricket. In
first-class cricket, Surrey traditionally wear a brown cricket cap along
with their cricket whites. The first-class kit and also kits worn in the
Friends Life t20 and CB40 competitions are all currently manufactured by MKK
Sports, while club sponsors Kia Motors's logo appears across the front of
the shirt.
