Ultimate Battle of Oceania

Electric Nitwit

Chuuk
Nice circle of stars. And I feel they'd know to put plants in the vase, not just hold them above it

Omackeral

Chuuk advances

SineadSpears

Oops I thought this was finished up for the day earlier

Omackeral

Sorry folks had unexpected movie night! We'll finish up with one last bout for the evening coming up now in a moment.

Omackeral

American Samoa

Unincorporated Territory of the US



VS

Yap

State of Micronesia

American Samoa

Don't even think it needs an explanation

Citizenpain

2 great flags . Will go with American Samoa the eagle and the fly swatter

ari101

Yap, I like the complex simplicity there

SineadSpears

American Samoa because of the bird.

Feels like there's something missing though that could make it look even better. Maybe one small star on the top left of the flag. It'd be fierce looking then

alchemist33

Samoa, the eagle is cool. Micronesia looks like a headset.

Zaph

American Samoa, that's one impressive looking flag

Barna77

Yap.
What looked like a robotic bird head is a boat!

Omackeral

American Samoa advances

Omackeral

That will do us for Day 1. Still plenty more first round action to come so keep an eye on those notifications for the next bouts. Stay safe and good night.

Omackeral

We’ll be going live tonight at 8PM.

It’s only really started so loads to contribute if you feel like it! Any shockers or splendid surprises for you so far?

Omackeral

Palmerston North

City of New Zealand



VS

Cocos Islands

External Territory of Australia

SineadSpears

Don't particularly like either but I'll go for Cocos Island because the other one looks like a stamp rather than a flag

alchemist33

Cocos Island. An interesting, if simplistic, colour scheme. The other one seems so keen to tell a story that they forgot it was meant to be a flag.

Zaph

Cocos Islands. If you feel the need to put your name on a flag so people will know where it's from, then you've got a crap flag to begin with.

ari101

Cocos Island is definitely better than that other thing... is that really a flag?

JP Liz V1

Cocoa Islands

Cocos Islands advances

Tuamotus Islands

Overseas Collectivity of France



VS

New South Wales

State of Australia

cdeb

That much writing on a flag is an automatic no for me.

So I'll vote for the other one

cdeb

Damn - too late!

The Union Jack variant is overused and not great to start with. The blue and white and red yoke isn't half bad though. Tuo-wotsit

ari101

Tuamotus Islands because at least it is 'different'

cee_jay

New South Wales

alchemist33

Neither very good but I'll go for the French territory as NSW just looks like they copied and pasted bits of other flags with no originality.

Purgative

Tuamotus Islands

Zaph

Tuamotus Islands, pretty unique looking flag

Tuamotus Islands

Don't really like it, just better then the other

Omackeral

Pretty one sided affair. Time to blow it up early...

Omackeral

Tuamotos Islands advances

Central Province

Province of Papua New Guinea



VS

Western Australia

State of Australia

cee_jay

Central Province

Purgative

Central Province - quite a striking flag



Are all the Ozzie flags variations on the Union Jack?

Zaph

Central Province, would be nicer if the black but was a different colour, but a pretty good flag all the same.

Citizenpain

Central Province
It’s different

SineadSpears

I really like the the flags with the union jack on them. I think it looks really nice with the navy background. Solid & strong colours. Kinda 'I mean business' type of colours. So I'm probably going to vote for any flag with the UJ on it :pac:

NSW gets my vote

SineadSpears

Oops too late..

You could still have Western Oz

Another Central Province vote here

Cosmo Kramer

Central Province. Strongly dislike flags with embedded Union Jacks so that will influence my voting in this competition.

alchemist33

Central province. WA is booooooring. If they haven't gone already there are a couple of Oz flags not based on the UJ

SineadSpears

Tobe honest there isn't much imagination gone into the WA flag, its basically just a Swan .

I'm sure the symbols have some sort of meaning in the Central Province flag so I'll go for that one

Mehaffey1

Central Province, nice naval theme
