    South Holland - yes, it's got a lion which every second one has, but this one is nice and plain, red on yellow and is better than the opposition which is red on red which hurts the eyes.


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


    A dull bunch - South Holland


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,265 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Not gone on either one tbh

    South Holland would make a nice card if you folded it in the middle I guess. Except it'd be backwards.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Navarre - I like the red on red. And also the lack of lion.

    South Holland. The other one is exceptionally bland. Plus, a red shield and a red crown on a red background? Someone needs a talking to there.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Navarre as the lion seems to be a handy get out clause from flag designers having to do any sort of work.

    Navarre

    Red on red is a bold choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    South Holland marches on

    Île-de-France

    Classic design


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Île-de-France - Brussels looks like they had an idea for something and then gave up halfway through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Brussels - looks a lot more modern than a lot of the flags in this tournament.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Ile de France. I like the fleur-de-lys.

    The other thing is like an Andy Warhol fleur-de-lys.

    Ile de France. A classic french design.


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Île-de-France

    The other one looks like a cheap logo


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 22,407 CMod ✭✭✭✭Pawwed Rig


    Île-de-France One more reason to dislike Brussels

    I find it hard to believe that got through in round 1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Ile de France with a slaughter there, into round 3 it goes

    Groningen, the green is a nice change from the all too common red and blue colour scheme on so many flags.


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


    Canary Islands - because (1) I want to be there now and (2) the other is shoite


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer

    Groningen is a bit of an eye sore tbh

    Brittany, it's got Sligo colours :P


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


    Brittany - CHristmasy theme and local team colours


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


    I'm starting to think I'm not seeing the same images you all are. Brittanny, Christmassy?

    Bonaire at least has a star on its!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral

    Frenchie one just the other frenchie one thrown on a tablecloth

    So, Lombardy, even though im not sure if I like it or not.....


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Lombardy, prettier and more peaceful than that other busy one.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Not gone on either but Centre-Loire Valley is at least somewhat more colourful


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


    Lombardy - just because it would be great to finger paint


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


    Neither great, but Centre-Loire Valley is less blobby.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Lombardy, much cleaner and nicer of the two.

    Surprised Bonaire has gone, thought that would be one of the overall favourites.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Lombardy reminds me of an icon for a phone app.

    I think Centre Loire Valley is more "flaggy", so I'll go with that.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 22,407 CMod ✭✭✭✭Pawwed Rig


    Lombardy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Lombardy keeps this run going.
