    Sri Lanka
    Cos lion holding a dagger / sword

    Edit it's a dragon? OK even cooler. :)

    Actually I had a Google and you're right - it's a lion.

    Sri Lanka, lion, sword and good colour combination, what's not to like.

    🙈🙉🙊

    Sri Lanka - very striking flag.

    Bangladesh's off centre circle troubles me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,724 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Although Sri Lanka's is cool I gotta agree that Suriname's is more pleasing and it gets my vote.

    Also, is Bangladesh's circle off centre?


  • Posts: 26,219 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Sri Lanka, it's got everything.

    Tis. Something to do with it being centred when it's actually flying.

    Yeah, from wiki -
    The red disc is offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centred when the flag is flying.
    Never knew that. Not the first time I've learned something on this thread already either

    Romania - Fond memories of Gheorghe Hagi.

    Romania, the “strong” colours stand out over those feeble pastels.

    I concur, Romania for me too.


  • Posts: 26,219 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Niger, less shouty than Romania.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,549 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb

    The two African nations are sent packing. Next we have 3 entries with a lot in common. All red and white, all in European organisations.

    Georgia, it’s got a cross-ception going on. And I admire their rugby playing.

    Georgia, for really committing to the cross motif.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 643 ✭✭✭REBELSAFC


    It's on my mind that this vote goes to Georgia


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,411 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Georgia, for taking the Cross of St. George and really owning it, unlike the half-hearted English effort.


  • Posts: 4,824 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Austria because it's one of the oldest national flags in the world that's still in use.


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It's Georgia (the country, not the state) that goes through. European triple threat next up.
