Description of the flag

Though the flag remains unchanged since May 1995, three laws were passed, with petty changes in terminology:

1. Law on Flag and coat of arms - adopted by Duma (regional parliament) in May 11th, 1995, signed by governor Rokecky in May 24th, 1995
2. Law on correction of the text (#36) - adopted in March 26th, 1996, signed in April 15th, 1996
3. Law on correction of the text (#66)- adopted in January 30th, 1997, signed in the same day.

"Flag of Tyumen Region is a rectangular field consisted of three equal horizontal stripes; upper - white, medium - blue, lower - green; with a red"…"triangle in the left side (from the hoist) of the field. There are three crowns"…

 Makes alterations to “Law of Tyumen Region on Arms and Flag” (adopted by regional Duma 11.5.1995). The first paragraph of Article 9 of the Law now must be: "Flag of Tyumen Region is a rectangular field consisted of three equal horizontal stripes; upper - white, medium - blue, lower - green; with a red triangle near the hoist."

Color shades

This web ad implies that the Tyumen region flag has a lighter blue than the Russian national flag.

Tyumen antler crowns

The number of crowns reminds three subjects of the Russian federation: Tyumen region, Khanty-Mansi autonomous district and Yamalo-Nenets autonomous district.» [both Yugra and Yamal are parts of Tyumen Region — ed.]
Pascal Vagnat, 06 Apr 1998, quoting M. V. Revnivcev (Vexilologie 102 [vex])

We have noticed that the stylized antler crown that appears thrice on the flag (and, once, in the arms) of Tyumen Region (Russia), shows also on the flag of Yugra, a part of the said region (though also considered to be a first order division). The other such part, Yamalo-Nenetsia, also follows this trend, though in a more discrete way: I just noticed that each element of the white pattern on the Yamalo-Nenets flag is indeed a squarish representation of that distinct Tyumen Crown. And a question would be, of course, what’s the story behind this particular crown.
António Martins, 02 May 2000

It is interesting to note that of these three crowns on the Tyumen flag, one is white (fimbriated yellow), standing for the Tyumen territory proper, and the other two are yellow, standing for Yugra and Yamal — however, in the flags of these two subdivisions the same device shows in white.

1995 Flag

The [former] flag of Tyumen is interesting too. According to the description and to the official illustration the crown closest to the hoist should be silver (white) with a wide golden (yellow) edge. The remaining two crowns are golden (yellow) completely.
Pascal Vagnat, 06 Apr 1998, quoting M. V. Revnivtsev (Vexilologie 102 [vex])

Unofficial flag of 1992-1993?

In 1992 or 1993 some regions self upgraded to constituent republics, and used ephemeral unofficial flags. One of the main republics was Tyumen, flag with three horizontal stripes blue, white and blue and vertical red stripe at hoist (blue reported as light blue).
Jaume Ollé, 15 Apr 2000

Again this design, now attributed to yet another region, after being said to be the flag of Yamalo-Nenetsia and Nenetsia… For the record, Yamalo-Nenetsia is part of Tyumen Region, but that proves nothing.
by António Martins, 18 Apr 2000

I’m sure that this flag is a fiction. I don’t know who is author… It was adopted never and existed never.
