Ultimate Battle of Japan

Omackeral

Match 8

Osaka



vs

Ehime

quickbeam

Ehime - nice colour and emblem, and the borders top and bottom are a bit different from the usual here. Plus, it's not a fidget spinning octopus.

cdeb

Ehine is something different here, so I'll vote for it. And yeah, as quickbeam says, the other one is a spinner doohickey, not a flag.

Reberetta

Ehime

Purgative

Yep Ehime

ari101

Ehime as it is different to a lot of the others and the logo on the other one is dodge

Zaph

Ehime - a bit of a change from the norm

Barna77

Ehime

Osaka somehow reminds me of this...

Earthhorse

Ehime - looks like an African flag; as another poster said, a refreshing change.

Naganoooooooooooooo!

Citizenpain

Ehime by a smidge

Omackeral

After a distracted visit to the vet and a siesta, I can announce the winner.

Ehime advances to Round 2

Omackeral

And no, the vet visit wasn’t for myself...

Stick around for Match 9

Match 9

Saga



vs

Yamaguchi

Saga

Yamaguchi
Supposedly the 'brown' is a dark red wine colour, and it's a bird flying towards the sun, not pacman eating through a boat hull.
I'm attached so I'm going with it even though I have a feeling it will be going home!

Omackeral

Last call for votes!

Zaph

Saga - brown shouldn't appear on a flag

Pawwed Rig

Yamaguchi

Barna77

Saga!

Citizenpain

Yamaguchi - i like wine

Saga - looks prettier

Omackeral

Ok we had a tie after the allotted time, let's try to break it.

A reason with a good explanation. 1-0 Yamaguchi.

A reason with personal preference. 1-1.

Ok so no splitting them. I'll have to go with ari101's reason as it explains the symbolism very well imo.


Yamaguchi advances to Round 2

One more for the afternoon on the way folks

Match 10

Kanagawa



vs

Akita

Reberetta

Akita

ari101

Akita
I see so many things, including a nice hurley and sliotar, it's a boring letter A seemingly
However I am over the molestation of some poor woman's assets I see depicted in the other

Akita - looks like a mouth about to eat someone’s whole head!

quickbeam

Akita - nicer colours, and who doesn't like seeing a yoga pose on a flag? Also, LOL at ari's breast molestation description on the other - I can totally see it

Uncharted

Kanagawa because it looks like Squidward holding his hands over his eyes.


( just me ...... ? )

That's a lot nicer that what I see, let's go with that I feel sorry for the exasperated squid but I'm still voting against it

quickbeam

Psychologists would have a field day with what we're seeing in these flags. Rorschach is nothing compared with these!

Sawduck

Akita love the red background

Earthhorse

Kanagawa

Akita looks too much like the Nike swoosh.

Omackeral

And that’s rounded off this morning/this afternoon’s action.

Akita advances to Round 2

Omackeral

Get ready for the remainder of Round 1 friends

JP Liz V1

I vote early for Japan

Match 11

Fukuoka



vs

Gunma

Earthhorse

Both cool but Fukuoka has a beautiful flow to it that makes it feel more natural.

Purgative

Gunma I like the colour and design. The other looks like something for the new Gillette 17 blader.

Reberetta

Gunma

I like the colour and inner design.

cdeb

Gunma. Cool purple moons. Like a weird flavour of Jaffa Cakes.

ari101

Fukuoka - lovely shade of blue and I like the infinity of the looping design

Supposedly it represents a Plum Blossom

Citizenpain

Gunma
Like the purple

JP Liz V1

Gunma - love purple

KathleenGrant

Fukuoka i love the continuous looping design.

As ari says it represents the plum blossom. Very pretty.

Cosmo Kramer

Fukuoka - just prefer the design and colour on that one.

davetherave

Fukuoka - Blue beats purple and there is endless things that it could represent, a Celtic knot, Spaghetti Junction on the M6 outside of Birmingham, an octopus doing his best Harry Houdini escapism act, a poorly designed version of the 5 rings on some knock-off, cheap, fake Olympic Games merchandise?

Gunma would look more pleasing if it only had the three jaffa cakes and not the lettering in the centre.

BrianBoru00

Fukuoka - classic colours , class clean design and nice logo
