I saw this image on a t-shirt website, and there's a t-shirt for sale with some different macedonian flags from history. What i'm curious about is the krushevo flag. I always thought it was the same as the VMRO flag, but it appears to be red with some yellow script. Have a look and tell me if you've come accross this flag before.

Actually, also look at Greece, and you can see the turkish, british, italian and french flags that have been flown in greece in recent history. Western Thrace is an interesting one too!

Looks like a 20, and the first letter looks cyrillic for 'I-O' making that yu sound? the rest are cyrillic.

20 July in accordance with our Orthodox Calendar, known today more commonly by its Catholic variant 2nd August.

This was.
Notice the yellow thingie that has some kind of bursts, called Macedonian sun, which is proving our continuinity trough the ages once more again. I am pretty sure that the fellow Greek Macedonians back in 1903 didn't had idea what that symbol meant, so they claim it as theirs today.

Don't expect to find this flag approved to be the flag for the Krushevo Republic from other nations, just becouse... look at the map. Have a nice time

ZA NEIA NIE SE BORIM (For Her We FIGHT)
ZA NEIA NIE MREM (For Her We DIE)

The map on the flag shows who is that NEIA(Her). For sure not mother Bulgaria, Servia or Hell-ass.

This site has the flag of the Krusevska Republika different: a plain red flag. Or am I off track?

To quote the website:

The red flag of the Republic of Kruševo

In August 1903, during the Ilinden Uprising, a plain red flag was hoisted in the liberated town of Kruševo. That was done at the initiative of Nikola Karev, a leader of the uprising and the chief organizer of the provisional administration of the Republic of Kruševo, who was a Socialist activist. The red flag, originally a symbol of Socialism and revolution, thus also became the Macedonian national symbol. This was probably helped with the fact that the coat of arms usually attributed to Macedonia has had the red field, with the golden lion upon it.

In 1946, the Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia adopted the flag with the red field, in memory of the Ilinden Uprising and the Republic of Kruševo. As an independent country, Macedonia has kept the red as the field colour of its flag to this day. Red is also the field colour of many political flags in Macedonia, regardless of the users' political attitudes, being used there as the national symbol.
