England is associated with the colours red and white. Some say it is due to the Houses of Lancaster and York which had a red rose and white rose? However even before then there was the red dragon of wales and white dragon of England. Coincidence? Remember the Original United Kingdom was a union of the Welsh and English.
But then again, England is represented by the St. George who killed the Dragon. So in classical English contradictory numdummery (which is why spelling in English is such cluster-jam---the same thing happened in Japanese written language) the English can be represented by a White Dragon or a Dragon Slayer.
Either you love dragons or you want to kill them, but hey, some people do both. I suppose it is like the frenemy concept. All friends can be enemies, and sometimes enemies will be friends. Ergo, dragons are frenemies?
Here is a fun flag for the English, based upon the Atari Adventure dragons by Warren Robinett.

Hey there - just so you know, the flag showing a white dragon on a red background was created in the 1980s by a neo-Nazi:
