Lower Saxony.

Majestic horse

Omackeral

So it's a draw. Here we go with deliberations...

Sound reason. 1-0

Both actually pretty cool. I generally don't like b&w but the crest in the middle adds a bit of spark joy to it, so going with Ceuta.

Very good reason. 1-1

It is a good horse.

But that Ceuta design is unique; love the diagonal black/white parts. Ceuta for me.

As above. 2-1

Ceuta. The other one is just a picture of a horse slapped on a German flag.

3-1

Lower Saxony, prefer the colours to the Cueta one. Black and white doesn't really do it for me.

3-2. Another top reason.

It's a fair point. 3-3.

Right so what's the best reason? For me it's a toss up between cdeb and quickbeam but that makes it easier as they've both gone for Ceuta.

Ceuta wins!

Veneto
Italian Region


VS

Saxony-Anholt
German State

Veneto, it's like someone had a really bad acid trip and somewhere in the middle of it thought "I know what I'll do, I'll design a flag".

cdeb

Yeah, there's a lot of crap busy flags in this, but Veneto is a great busy flag. Definite contender overall, and gets my vote here.

Necro

Veneto for me too

quickbeam

Veneto is a monstrosity. Has to be Saxony-Anholt. A nice simple design and it has a bear on the roof! A bloody BEAR on the ROOF!!!

Sawduck

Veneto for its pure madness

I do love the bear on a roof......so will go for that one please.

I would argue that the bear is actually on ramparts, not the roof, which isn't nearly as impressive.

Veneto - who wouldn't pick an angel Lion

Pawwed Rig

Veneto - potential overall winner

Veneto, much more appealing colour scheme.

I like the bear on the turrets. Silly bear, what are you doing up there? Go home, you're drunk.

But Veneto is bonkers enough to outshine it. It's preposterous and indulgent but also kind of brilliant! Also the Veneto angel-lion has reminded me that lions are generally cool, unlike all those bastard heraldic lions ruining their good name.

Saxony-Anholt

the other thing looks like a carpet in a whore house

LadySkunk

Ohhh veneto, really cool design with all the mini flags

Arghus

Veneto - Endless detail and scholar lion with wings.

Omackeral

Apologies for the delay, my team unexpectedly won their match last night and I ended up celebrating too much.

Veneto wins

Omackeral

Grand Est
French Region



VS

Bavaria
German State

quickbeam

Bavaria. I don't like the mix and match of the other one.

I went to pick a curry up. Expected it to be all over by the time I got back on. Chicken Jal Fereezi (out of this world)




Don't like either but Grand Est despite looking like bad wallpaper samples.

cdeb

Yeah, Bavaria is nice, and the other looks like three torn bits of flag swiped from the war front and sewn together as a crude victory celebration.

Omackeral (gargled).

Definitely Bavaria of these two. I like the flag and it is noticeably on display all over Munich and adds to the city I think.

Grand Est. It didn't take inspiration from F1.

Pawwed Rig

Grand est because it looks like spare wallpaper samples

Bavaria

Simple but aesthetically pleasing, nice pattern and well chosen colours. The other one's a bit too busy.

Omackeral

Bavaria gets the win!

Omackeral

Tuscany
Italian region



VS

Flemish Brabent
Belgian Province

Tuscany like the horse. Change from lions.
