    Also, a touch of Bhutan-gate at Veneto going out so early. Not impressed!

    La Rioja because Veneto is awful, and La Rioja has four pretty colours and a decent crest in the middle. But mainly becuase Veneto is awful.

    Actually, you can't quite see the greatness of the Veneto flag from that picture.

    The seven bands on the right are actually kind of tassels -

    Actually if that was the flag it'd not have been so bad. Veneto awful, Venice not so bad.

    South Holland

    The current flag was proposed by the provincial executive of South Holland 15 October, and passed by the States of South Holland on 24 October 1985. It was decided to change the flag into a yellow field with a red rampant lion–the old flag of the Counts of Holland, which according to tradition had been in use since the time of the Crusades. The lion was supposed to symbolize the "always victorious lion of Judah". The flag became official on 1 January 1986.

    Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
    On 12 January1999, Michel Vauzelle, President of the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur presented the Region's new flag. It combines the traditional gold and red vertical stripes of Provence, the dolphin of Dauphiné and the eagle of the County of Nice.

    Red and yellow on South Holland are annoying my eyes. Maybe if the yellow was more muted....

    Badass dolphin and eagle flexing his muscles.

    Yep Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur for me.

    South Holland. I don't like the dragon dolphin thing on the other.

    Lombardy, much cleaner design compared to the other gaudy mess.

    Liege - they've gone to some effort - effed it up but its still better than the finger painting thing

    Liege sets the standard there and moves into the quarter finals

    How did Lombardy get this far?

    Still sticking with the black and white of Brittany

    Saba's a bit too plain to defeat it


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,705 ✭✭✭✭Hello 2D Person Below


    Brittany - very sinister.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,789 ✭✭✭JohnGreenFan


    Brittany, because it looks like the flag a cult would design after taking over a village. Mildly terrifying in black and white.

    Saba, the other one is a bad game of chess on an unfinished board.
