    Any chance your could list them at the bottom as well just to make it a little easier for those of us posting on phones?

    Baja California Sur
    Durango
    Sinaloa
    Aguascalientes

    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,388 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Durango - dogs
    Baja California Sur - fish
    Sinaloa - interesting mess
    Aguascalientes - boring mess


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative


    Baja California Sur elegant and simple
    Sinaloa A bit of everything, though overall OK.

    Aguascalientes Its OK

    Durango Dogs hanging from a tree nah not so much


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    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


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,265 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    Oh I like these more... hmmm...

    1. Aguascalientes - I imagine I will be in hot water here ;) as others won't agree but I love the colour scheme. I've also been to it's namesake town aka Machu Pichu town in Peru :)
    2. Sinaloa - this is a bit fussy but fascinating
    3. Baja California Sur - I like the shell and fish emblems
    4. Durango - I struggle to get over the overall look, I like the crown and the tree but on the whole this is not pleasing to the eye


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral

    Zacatecas Neat and tidy
    Campeche A good job on the castles and ships theme
    Tamaulipas A bit cartoony, like expecting Roadrunner
    Puebla No comic book

    Puebla is a cartoon guide to Mexican independence

    Then Tamaulipas, with its Outrun game screenshot

    Zacatecas then is less busy than the other one, which I can't pronounce, so I'll just call it the other one and let it be fourth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    1. Tamaulipas - overall the nicest colour scheme and the detail is not too fiddly
    2. Campeche - a bit fussy but I quite like the traditional Spanish styling, all you need is a Monarch, an Armada and a Castle ;)
    3. Puebla - seems a more modern attempt to honour more than Spaniards, but I'm not so sure hydroelectricity, fossil fuel burning factories and guns are high on my list of things to celebrate :D
    4. Zacatecas - that shade of yellow is garish and well religion... meh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,530 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    1. Tamaulipas - a nice agricultural look to this one. With a bit of fishing thrown in.



    2. Campeche - ships!



    3. Puebla - that looks like fightin' talk all around and underneath! And the first thing I saw was Mayo :D (yes, I DO know it's May!)


    4. Zacatecas - bit on the religious side for my taste.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,272 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Puebla is like some economy masterplan, but has the feathered snakes
    Zacatecas. The conquest of Mexico
    Tamaulipas. More agro planning.
    Campeche. Too flourishy

    Coahuila is actually quite nice; like the gold colour.

    Chihuahua for the castle that looks like a metaller hand signal

    Mexico City for being inoffensive but bland

    Morelos - too much writing and it's crooked too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,786 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    chihuahua I actually love this!

    Coahuila

    Mexico City

    Morelos


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,530 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    1. Chihuahua - looks like fun, and they've got hospitality on their coat of arms, so it must be practically compulsory :)

    2. Morelos - because I feel sorry for that poor wilting plant in the middle - would someone ever give it a drop of water for pity's sake?? Plus, I like the simple colouring.


    3. Coahuila - nice artwork, a river, more dogs hanging from trees, and it's trying to be a scroll


    4. Mexico city - simple I like, that's just boring.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative


    Coahuila Looks like a crest of a Spanish holiday resort - it gets my vote I want to be there.
    Mexico City OK neat not gaudy
    Morelos looks like our first garden
    Chihuahua Conquistadors and Indians me no like.

    Coahuila. It's actually nice and also has the dogs, unlike Chihuahua :pac:
    Mexico City. I like the reference to the old city on the lake
    Morelos. The socialist motto is too long
    Chihuahua. Nah


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    1. Coahuila - liking the ye olde treasure map fade ;) I see the tree with wolves appears again
    2. Morelos - I like the colouring and vibe here, something different
    3. Chihuahua - interesting selection of cultural/historic icons
    4. Mexico City - are they cactii?? Not for me.

    Jalisco cos it's blue and yellow.

    Then a gap.

    Then - I guess Mexico State is the most interesting? Followed by Michoacan and the other one.

    But I'd vote for Jalisco four times if I could.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    1. Jalisco - after so many plain flags it's nice to see some thing different :)
    2. Michoacán - overall this crest is nicer than Mexico state
    3. Mexico State - I do prefer the imagery on the crest to the above but I went for the overall look and ranked it lower
    4. San Luis Potosí - boring and way too religious


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative


    Jaliso - Tidy and the colours work
    San Luis - Different but a bit washed out
    Michocan - not great colours
    Mexico State - Meh Football crest
