    Doesn't help that most of the names are gobbledegook (to me anyway, with all due apologies to Spanish speakers on here!)


    When is Chihuahua coming up?? Or even better, Tequila?? :D

    Baja California is cool; I like it.

    Sonora is kind of silly. Then it's a decision between nice patterns and an axe-wielding Maya.

    1. Sonora - that's a laugh! Tillage farming, livestock, fish.... and a bit of weighlifting in the middle. I love it!


    2. Quintana Roo - love the name, and a nice simple flag, reminds me of an early years arcade-game angry-face character of some sort.


    3. Guerrero - is that Fred Flintstone in the middle? Another amusing one. (I'm sure they're not meant to be amusing!!)



    4. Baja California - no, just no.

    Quintana Roo I like simple to the point
    Sonora I like it, its kind of goofy like a nursery school flag or the flag for a pet zoo
    Guerrero Wow they certainly have some symbolism going on there
    Baja California Bit too comic book super hero. Get a proper flag lads if you want to win on Boards.

    It's the fact you voted the exact opposite order to me, and with equal like and dislike for the ones I disliked and liked :)

    Ah Mexico, this is more like it! They're all cool

    Guerrera - an Aztec warrior wearing a dead animal!
    Sonora - giant whale, cow
    Quintana Roo - simple and classy
    Baja - it's nice, but a bit cluttered and religious for me

    These are tough to pick between...

    1. Baja California - there's an elegance to this crest the others don't have, it feels 'flag like'
    2. Sonora - I have no clue what is going on here but it is interesting :D
    3. Guerrero - The crest is a better shape and has more to it than my last place, we should all dress up as leopards with stick weapons... ;)
    4. Quintana Roo - boring, and little effort to create a crest that catches the eye

    Quintana Roo simple yet effective, no over the top shenanigans
    Guerrero - nice looking flag
    Baja California - a bit to crazy but kinda cool looking too
    Sonora - not a fan of it

    1. Aguascalientes - warm waters, lovely!!! And kudos for going a bit different on the colour scheme


    2. Baja California Sur - some more water, and nice fishies, and is that a mermaid? or a cockle shell? or a bridal veil? so many possibilities!


    3. Durango - all I can see tonight is cartoon characters! They look like two Scooby-Doo versions of wolves! Cute, though.



    4. Sinaloa - FAR too much going on there. Simple is the way to go for me!

    Sinaloa - nice colours and it has a bird eating a snake, pretty awesome
    Baja California Sur - I like the silly fish
    Durango - not sure what's happening here, dogs in a tree? But it is a nice flag
    Aguascalientes - nice flag too but the other ones are more impressive

    I'm plumping for weird in this competition I think.

    So Durango for two pointer dogs stuck in a tree.
    Sinaloa for what - a lizard making a mess of a bidé while a deer speaks to an anchor? Mad stuff

    Sinaloa. A lot going on but they have the eagle.
    Durango. They kept the dogs as in the original city of Durango in Spain.
    Aguascalientes. Different colours
    Baja Sur. I think I've seen a school with the same coat of arms
