Both look awfully strange, will go Connaught though.

Yeah, this for me. A Habsburg eagle waving a sword in its arm is something different. Like a Jeff Goldblum experiment gone wrong

Connacht* - fierce, who wouldn't want a half eagle and a knights arm!

A bitta Eddie the Eagle for ye all




(*cough, clearly not from Connacht if you accept the West Brit spelling And I was determined not to get political :pac:)

To "hell with it", I'll go
Connacht
😜

I honestly never knew there were two spellings!!

Trigger

Connacht is utterly bizarre but the the Yorkshire one is on Leeds crest so have to go with Connacht

I think unless you are a local or into that kinda history you wouldn't.
Modern Irish 'Connacht' is spelled that way, some things still dating from British Rule still retain the anglicised spelling

Doesn't really matter, they both sound awful

Connaght - the bird and the arm don't exactly work well together but the flower isn't very exciting either. so I'll go with the odd mashup

Electric Nitwit

Yorkshire, prefer the simplicity, even if there's no unicorns

Omackeral

A great opener but it's the luck of the Irish prevailing.

Connacht. Who doesn't love ravens and swords.

Cheshire! Castles and swords and nice colour combo. Cumberliand's green is too snotty.

Purgative

Cheshire by an edge.

Trigger

Cumberland looks like something from the start of Moana and the little fella loves that so I'll choose that one..

Thought it was straw/hay not castles?

ari101

Cumberland because I prefer the colour scheme, not really sure about either

SineadSpears

Chesire - the other is a bit too pretty and the colours are kinda bland

wheat but close enough.

Cheshire for me. Good colours and it has a sword. You may find the presence of a sword has a strong bearing on my choices.

Chesire

When I get time I will look up the history of some of these, on their own they make no sense to me.

Wheat! That's what I was thinking of

Maybe it's castles made of straw???? :P

Okay, it was a quick glance.

Cumberland - I prefer the colour scheme

davetherave

Cumberland, very self explanatory. Coastline and fields. Nice colour palette .

Omackeral

Nice and tight affair with Cheshire smiling widely.

Northamptonshire

Electric Nitwit

Monmouthshire - better colour scheme

ari101

I'm going for Northhamptonshire, I like a fleur de lis but not sure about the colouring on the other flag and the rose on this one is nice

Purgative

Not keen on either as they're both quite jarring - Northamptonshire
