Suffolk, think Robin Hood hitting King John or King Richard

Wrong end of the country . I just checked, it's the crown of Saint Edward the Martyr.

I like both.

Suffolk is nice and neat.

but Jersey has a crown AND lions. although I'm not really sure about the red X, it's not very welcoming.

sooooo, I think I'm gonna go with Suffolk

Wiki has a page for each of the flags for anyone who wants more. Just checked a few that are featured so far and what surprises me most is how recent most of these designs are. The oldest of the UK ones that I've checked only goes back to 1988.

That's because England has only existed a few years, since they voted to leave the United States of Europe and have their own sovereignty

Suffolk

Omackeral

That's pretty dominant.

Hampshire

ENGLAND

Hampshire - I like the colour scheme and images. Whereas that life buoy on the Skye flag is confusing being neither in front of or behind the post.

ari101

Oh both of these are interesting...
Isle of Skye - Not sure if they intend for me to see a ships wheel with the boat in the corner and circle over cross but it works nicely.

Electric Nitwit

Isle of Skye by a mile!

The circle weaving around the cross is clever, the colours are good and the boat is a great little flourish

I thought it was a polo mint!

Hampshire for ne please, I like yellow and red.

Purgative

Isle of Skye - nice boat, nice colours

Irish Aris

Isle of Skye.
I like the color combination, the ship on the top corner and the circle that goes from back to front

Isle of Skye

Without a doubt, love the interlocking ring and cross, and then there's like a Viking ship in the corner?

SineadSpears

not really keen on the colours of both.

but I prefare the Isle of Skye flag

Isle of Skye

Trigger

All hail our new Hampshire overlords!

Isle of Skye is the one to beat so far for me so I will go there, a lovely blend of colours and the interwining circle and cross is a nice touch

quickbeam

Am honestly surprised the love Skye is getting. I really don't see it.

cdeb

Skye is a cracker. First genuine contender for me. The boat is great and I like the ring too

My interpretation to that is showing that they are different but both equal..

Omackeral

The Scots when their debut match.

Staffordshire

ENGLAND

quickbeam

Staffordshire - nice colour combo and knotty.

Trigger

I'm pretending that's a pretzel cause I'm hungry and voting for Staffordshire

Sawduck

Staffordshire

Staffordshire. The lions on the other one are freaky half lion/half ferrets.

Sark
For the lions

Purgative

Staffs - nice colour combo and a knotty knot

SineadSpears

another scouts badge with Staffordshire so I'll go with Sark even though I'm not sure about the block of red with the lions. it looks a bit odd but sure..

Tauriel

Sark

davetherave

Spent a few months living in Hampshire about 10 years ago, my only consolation is that my vote wouldn't have mattered.

Staffordshire because it has a Staffordshire knot on it.

I thought like that about the Jersey flag lions too. Wasn't sure they were even lions. I zoomed in because they looked so anorexic :pac:

ari101

Sark - I don't mind freaky lions just too much yellow on the other one

ohnonotgmail

Sark. I have an intense dislike for staffordshire.

Sark

CHANNEL ISLANDS

Basically lion vs. a rope

Omackeral

A valiant comeback attempt from the islanders but it wasn't to be as the time expires.

Staffordshire advances to Round 2

Shetland

SCOTLAND



VS

Herefordshire

ENGLAND

ohnonotgmail

Shetland. You cant beat the simplicity of a nordic cross.

SineadSpears

Shetland - its a bit plain but the other one looks like a label from a bottle off bbq sauce. and I hate bbq sauce so..

Herefordshire

For the angry looking Hereford cow

quickbeam

Herefordshire because it's got a bull's head on it and Shetland is quite boring.

ari101

Herefordshire - for the love of a good beef burger :pac: (also the other one is a bit boring)

Purgative

Herefordshire - I like flags that celebrate or advertise what they're about

Zaph

Herefordshire - not often you see a bull on a flag

Electric Nitwit

MOOOOOO!!!

(Hereford please)

JP Liz V1

Herefordshire Chicago Bull for me

Love the cross and the white and blue reminds me of the Greek flag.

Omackeral

Landslide victory. Bull > Pony.
