I’m assuming that the Captain being a nautical man looked to the sea for inspiration when choosing the red and yellow for the Easy Riders jersey.
I looked up the nautical signal flags for E & R and found …
![]() |
E – I am altering my course to starboard |
Maybe helpful for Ravi but could end up with the group going around in circles
|
|
![]() |
R – the way is off my ship. You may feel you way past me |
A bit more promising but closer to the FBW
|
|
So I checked the other red and yellow flags and found | |
![]() |
O – man overboard |
Ravi again? Not really conducive to safety
|
|
![]() |
Y – I am carrying mails |
Works perfectly if you add a letter
