    3 Chuquisaca (BOL)
    4 Bolivar (ECU)

    Bolivar is the most boring flag in existence. Not a lot of effort went into that one.

    1. Santa Catarina (BRA) - I don't know why but I like this, I'm not sure it will go far but I'll give it a vote for now
    2. Rosario City (ARG) - interesting incorporation of the Argentine flag in the crest along with sun, miniature ships (I know far away ;)), etc.
    3. Bolívar (ECU) - sorry almost Mayo, but you are boring in the scheme of things (are Irish flags just totally boring or what, now that I think about it...?)
    4. Chuquisaca (BOL) - that's like blood covered barbed wire or something :pac:

    I take back what I said about our taste in flags :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    1: Rosario - The colours look a bit dull in the picture but im sure it looks better irl

    2: Bolívar - it two colours I don't hate. Nothing stands out but nothing wrong with it either

    3: Santa Catarina - I usually like anything with birds on it, but its a tad Christmas wreath looking. Then also topped with a Smurf hat too. Not the best, but not the worst either.

    4: Chuquisaco - It looks like a road sign, or a Halloween crime scene sheet

    Didn't see the association, but it's safe to say it's the flag that's the issue. :)

    Huánuco rivals Bolivar for lack of effort. At least the colors are nicer and it's on the diagonal.

    Makes me think of sandwiches.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    1. Rocha (URU) - I don't love this but it is well balanced and clear
    2. Ucayali (PER) - it's a tough round so this is doing well, looks like a native themed resort but with a weird shark :D
    3. Paraguarí (PAR) - the crest is so small you can't see it, lower score for failing with fundamental proportions
    4. Huánuco (PER) - boring and faded yellow (fine to paint a nursery, not great for a flag)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    1: Paraguarí - I can't make out what the center piece is, I'll have to Google it. But from what I can see now, i like the look of the flag

    2: Rocha- I like the silk flags even though the crest isn't too interesting

    3: Huánuco - yeah bit boring but boring is better than the thing below

    4: Ucayali - Another cult looking symbol here with the sun beam above the coloured pyramid. Like everyone needs to sail towards enlightenment. No thanks.
    Then the random Colgate stripes..

    So any reasons given for or against a flag are taken into account. Let's have a look.

    I'm going to have to go with this as the tie-brekaer. I can feel the disdain coming off the page.

    Paraguarí advances

    1: Paraguay - thats a nice flag. Nice colours & nice simple crest even naming its location without it looking silly

    2: Caquetá - not too much going on but its got stripes (lovely green ones) & stars so..

    3: Formosa - I'm not sure about this one. Its not serious enough. Bit like a mountain range campsite flag or something

    4: Putumayo- I have it in the bottom but I don't hate it. Nice colours
