    True or false: An Ivorian sprinter celebrated with an upside down Irish flag after winning a medal? :D

    True - cos I saw that while googling the Ivory Coast flag earlier on :p Was here.

    Also, this is a Linfield shop during the 2014 World Cup. Note the sign in the window clarifying that the flag is Ivory Coast, and definitely not Republic of Ireland!

    On a similar note, Rwanda's old flag was the exact same as Guinea's - so they stuck an "R" on it to differentiate it. They've changed it since because of the association with the genocide (as per earlier in this thread), but the R certainly made the old one different.

    Micronesia for me, it's nice and clean and the four stars represent their states.

    Poland is boring and too similar to too many other flags. CAR is just a mess imo.

    Micronesia.

    C.A.R looks like something the kids did.

    At the last minute they realized they forgot to add red, their favorite colour, so they just ran it up the middle.

    Micronesia, for me.

    C.A.R. just looks too “busy”.

    It's a mess.

    A colourful mess though.

    Micronesia is a sweet little flag. I’ve never heard of that country before.

    Micronesia wins 5-4-0. A very good tussle. Still on phone here so be patient!

    Three very random centrepieces there.

    I like the Lesotho one for being different though. Looks like a spinning top or something. So I'll vote Lesotho

    Edit - it's a traditional hat on the Lesotho flag apparently. Definitely gets my vote so!

    Haiti - Not too gone on any of those three but Haiti is the best of a shook enough bunch.

    Actually, another wiki fact -
    The flag of Haiti is one of six national flags whose designs incorporate a depiction of the flag itself

    So they put their flag on their flag, as did El Salvador in fact. Kinda like that! (But the hat still wins it for me)

    Lesotho, not many flags use the colour scheme and the hat i the center is cool.
