      Looked it up, seems like

      Banner supposedly used by Taborite forces led by Bohuslav of Švamberg, whose heraldic emblem was a swan on a red field, later confused with a goose (Czech: husa) as a general symbol of the Hussite movement.

        I think these are canting arms(heraldic pun) referencing Jan Hus, the preacher the Hussite movement was named after.
