Teutonic

I was watching Deutsche Welle TV last week, and they were highlighting a town in Germany (can't remember which one) that was having a heritage festival and parade. The drummers in the parade were using drums identical to the HJ drums, only the "flame" pattern was painted blue and white. I was surprised to see the exact same pattern in use. Does anyone know if that pattern is a traditional German drum style, or have any other thoughts or ideas?
