Eh, it literally is a defaced version of the 2nd Reich flag though? Those colours are not traditional German colours, they were invented for the German Empire specifically to avoid the black-red-gold which was seen as too populist, the colours are a combination of Prussia (black&white) and the hanseatic league (red&white).
I’d say a better option to deal with the problem you have with the emblem is to add a slightly thicker border around the emblem - I think it technically has one on this image, but it’s so thin it disappears at this scale.
To be honest I can’t actually believe this was their real reason for making it because if your reasoning wasn’t ‘political’ and you only had an issue with the colours relative location, I don’t think it’s plausible you just happen to pick the flag nazis fly at demonstrations…
