    Slovakia

    Got the old medieval European feel to it

    Slovakia, looks the most classic

    Slovakia

    Quick fact but the tune of God Save the Queen is based on a French anthem called "Grand Dieu Sauve le Roi".

    So the Brits are just a bunch of thieving bastards too...put we knew that anyway :P

    British Royalty didn't start speaking English until Henry IV, over three hundred years after the Battle of Hastings.

    Great thread OP, seems to have awakened the latent vexilogist in me.

    Slovakia - looks like that cross shown on the crest was for killing people with 4 arms. It's a thought that these people lived among us but were killed off over time.

    Good podcast here about vexillology

    It’s the plucky little microstate that gets a rare victory, despite a flurry of support for Slovakia near the end. You love to see it. Next match features nations that could have the word “the” places in them I guess.

    The Maldives. I'm a sucker for an Islamic crescent on a flag. Nice red frame too...


  • Posts: 13,753 ✭✭✭✭ Olivia Yellow Selenium


    St Vincent's and Grenandines - Maldives looks like something I'd muster together on Microsoft paint. Netherlands is unoriginal in colour and design.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,714 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Saint Vincent’s and Grenadines - looks pretty cool


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Saint Vincent & The Grenadines - a bit of interest in the design there.

    I would have gone for it if the diamonds and the right hand side weren't both the same colour.

    The pattern on the St Vincent flag is just a V, for Vincent.

    Just my kind of reasoning! SVG for me.

    For the little detailed picture


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,549 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    I like the Azeri blue.

    Plus the moon and star looks like a pacman

    Bolivia - For the great Evo Morales


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Bolivia has pretty colours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,473 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Bolivia, really vibrant colours.


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Bolivia flies through. This here is a cracking contest. Any of the three are worthy winners.
