    Oooh, controversial. National flags :eek:

    With that said, Wales. The dragon is better rendered. And Somerset's dragon looks like its been shot out of the sky.

    Just thinking, bit strange St. George is the patron saint famous for "killing" a dragon. Wales, with a dragon on a flag. Just drew the parallel there. :D

    Wales I always thought that was a fierce flag!


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


    Wales for me, too much yellow on the other one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,538 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    Wales definitely. The dragon on the other one is terrible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,504 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    Wales

    Nicer more ferocious looking dragon

    Wales, the green and white is a nicer background than the yellow


  • Registered Users Posts: 779 ✭✭✭ChannelNo5


    Somerset.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,603 ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Wales, that Welsh dragon is a fierce thing. Blends nicely with the background too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,704 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Wales dragon for me


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


    The dragon rampant is the one that's slayed.

    Also, Somerset just copied Wales but stood the dragon up

    Gloucestershire

    Odd assortment of colours that it actually works


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,603 ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Gloucestershire

    Love the colour scheme, probably the best cross flag so far

    Yeah, this. No idea why Gloucestershire works, but it does.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    Gloucestershire.
    I like the color combination


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,338 ✭✭✭✭Zaph

    Black Country is a bit too slavery-ish for my taste.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,504 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    The Black Country

    The chains are something new and different to other flags


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Hmmm, had to look up the meaning of chains for the rather unfortunately named black country. Glad to hear it's related to the region's manufacturing industry. Designed by an 11 year old.

    I think I'll go with the Guernsey. Not head over heels with either of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,085 ✭✭✭✭BonnieSituation


    Guernsey. It's not even close .


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


    The Black country - something different :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,684 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    England - its crispy clean.

    I dont like the clours in Gloucestershire. the flag's a bit cheap looking

    eh oopss sorry I'm way behind...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,684 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Channel Islands - dont like the chain links on a flag. colours are fine but not the links


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


    eh oopss sorry I'm way behind...

    That gimmick is already taken :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,538 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    Black country for me. Another english flag that is basically brand new.

  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,338 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Guernsey - The Black Country isn't a proper administrative division

    If this match is still going, I'll go with The Black Country as it's a bit different.


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


    We have a tie. I'm going to plump for the best reason here and for my money it's mustang shelly's input.

    Two very strong flags. The very jonty Lincolnshire for me.


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


    Lincolnshire for sure. A pretty combo of colours and pattern with a decent yellow fimbriation. And the Scottish is boring (sorry Scotland!)

    St Andrews Cross for me. *Stands up and starts singing Flower of Scotland*
