    Marshall Islands for it's colors and minimalist design

    The shield and spears of Eswatini wins this one for me.

    Marshall Islands, like the colours and simplicity over Eswatini.

    Not a fan of the Eswatini flag at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    Marshall Islands. It's only gorgeous.

    Eswatini has a nice story but it's a crap flag, let's be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative


    I'm torn, more than any other pairing thus far, but Marshall Islands by a nose. But I wont be over sorry if I lose out this round.

    Marshall Islands...more peared back contemporary looking flag


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭Revit Man


    Marshall Islands, cleaner and 'more professional' looking!
    The Eswatini flag looks too cartoonish for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,288 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Marshall Islands - to get that much meaning into as clean and simple looking a flag as that is a fantastic achievement. And the colours work really well together too.

    I also like the colours of the Eswatini flag, but I just can't forgive the messy shield in the centre, there's too much going on there.

    So Marshall Islands for me, it's a superb flag.

    Marshall Islands.

    The flag tells us everything we need to know. The other one leaves me bewildered :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,968 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Marshall Islands, I’m not sure what those weird leaf things are on the other flag but they don’t sit well with me.

    Marshall Islands.


    A real dark horse from the outset.

    It's just so eye catching and simple, but actually very clever in its design.



    I'm gonna call it.....

    This is the outright winner imo.

    Eswatini
    The red stands for past battles, the blue for peace and stability, and the yellow for the resources of Eswatini The central focus of the flag is a Nguni shield and two spears, symbolizing protection from the country's enemies. Its colour is meant to show that white and black people live in peaceful coexistence in Eswatini.

    I like this so it's Eswatini for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Marshall islands. The more I look at eswatini's flag the less a fan I am of it.


  • Posts: 4,824 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    These are both strong flags but I'm gonna for eSwatini as it's just that bit more striking and distinctive.

    Marshall Islands is very nice too though (it shouldn't have beaten Bhutan though!)

    Marshall Islands, it's pretty and doesn't look like someone carelessly splashed it with paint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,696 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    Eswatini.

    It's a bit more unique - shields and spears and all that.

    Still absolutely shocked that Argentina - a pretty run of the mill flag - edged out the glorious insanity of Uganda.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,791 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    Easy know I have been googling information about flags for this tournament.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,147 ✭✭✭De Bhál


    Marshall Islands - Nicer looking flag. Sheilds and all that are too big on the other one and just take over the flag


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Marshall Islands, it has go faster stripes, looks more sleek and prefessional. Eswatini has too much going on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Marshall Islands.


    The light blue of Eswatini clashes with the red for me.

    Eswatini because of Zulu


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,198 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Marshall Islands is classy. I don't like the colours of the Swazi one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Archeron


    Marshall Islands for me, looks like it's showing where some treasure is buried at the end of a movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,724 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    These are both strong flags but I'm gonna for eSwatini ...

    Is that the online version of Eswatini?

    It's the way the Swazis write it. First time I ever saw the name change being reported it written was with a small 'e' and capital 'S' so it's stuck with me:

    Must say it was a great idea, as I no longer confuse it sWitzerland like I often did before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,724 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Huh. Well, colour me informed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,621 ✭✭✭✭Buford T. Justice XIX


    eSwatini for me.

    Marshall islands really needs a chicken on theirs.
