-->I noticed that when I rewatched the intro yesteday and I guess I had watched my last episode about 11 years ago.

Answer 1

I'm not sure why Steed had a Swiss flag on his chest. Saber Rider is from the Scottish highlands. The Swiss flag design of a white equilateral cross on a red field traditionally stands for freedom, honour, and fidelity. Could have something to do with that. It's possible though, that it's just a design that unintentionally looks like the Swiss flag. After all, this did originate as a Japanese series.
