    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.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭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.

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


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,339 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Ehime - a bit of a change from the norm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,272 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Ehime

    Osaka somehow reminds me of this...

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

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

    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!


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

    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.

    Akita


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


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


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


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

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭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 :D


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


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Akita love the red background


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,714 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Kanagawa

    Akita looks too much like the Nike swoosh.

    Get ready for the remainder of Round 1 friends

    vs

    Gunma

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,714 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


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

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    Gunma

    I like the colour and inner design.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


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


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


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

    Supposedly it represents a Plum Blossom

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭Citizenpain


    Gunma
    Like the purple


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,822 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Gunma - love purple


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,786 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    Fukuoka i love the continuous looping design.

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


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


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,446 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    Fukuoka - classic colours , class clean design and nice logo
