The flag I have sent was mistaken. The CoA on Gdynia flag is bigger than I thought. I send a corrected one. I found some information about Gdynia flag in "Bedeker Gdyński" ("Gdynia Baedecker", K. Malkowski, Gdynia 1995):
1.Flag of Gdynia was introduced in Spring of 1994 in a competition. 47 authors sent more than 100 projects. The chosen one was made by Józef Jezierski. The colours of flag were described as white and turquoise (turkusowy).
