The bold red, black, and gold color scheme reflects period-correct styling commonly seen on early-1990s Bosnian military insignia.

Historical Context
The Crni Labudovi (Black Swans) operated as an elite formation within the wartime Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the conflict from 1992 to 1995. The unit became widely recognized for its battlefield role and distinctive symbolism. Following the end of the war and the post-Dayton reorganization of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s armed forces, the Crni Labudovi were disbanded and do not exist as an active unit today. Their insignia remains a recognizable emblem of the Bosnian War era and is frequently referenced in historical and collector contexts.
