The Swiss National Council is pushing for all national teams to be allowed to use the Swiss coat of arms on their jerseys. Council member Damian Müller highlighted that some companies already have permits. Currently, only the Swiss Confederation holds this right, dating back to a 2017 decision. The government differentiates between the Swiss cross and the coat of arms, allowing broader use of the cross. The origins of the Swiss flag date back to 1339, with various historical influences affecting its design. Some institutions have permission to use the coat of arms legally.
