There's always one.
 
BTW You're close with the colours. The home jersey is based on the Prussian flag, the away jersey on the Saxony flag.
 
 
 

I read, I think it was in the excellent 'Tor! A History of German Football', that that reasoning is as mythical as the Irish one. I believe their away colours are green because of the DFB badge, which is predominantly green as it was designed to resemble a football pitch.
The Prussian influence on the 'home' colours was also mentioned and is, as far as I'm aware, accurate.

Possibly correct.
Forget where I heard it was due to Saxony.
Read 'Tor' but cant recall it.
