    Bremen - simple enough design but quite different at the same time. Some of those Belgian flags are seriously ugly.

    Bremen.

    The Nouvelle-Aquitaine one acts weird as I scroll down, like it's moving.

    And the West Flanders one just seems sort of unsymentrical.

    So Bremen is my favourite.

    West Flanders, because it's like something I could have done in MS Paint and thought I was class.

    Bit bland, these three.

    Occitanie is unusual for sure, but silly I think.

    I'll go for Campania for classical simplicity. But whichever one wins should get dumped out next round.

    I'm gonna break from tradition and cast a vote here. East Flanders for me. Think the colour combo is great and the position of the rampant lion is tops. Feel like I'd wear a tshirt of this!
