    Tamaulipas. Because they even went to the trouble of adding in ripples in the water beside the boat in the bottom left. Plus the white yoke in the bottom right looks like the back end of a horribly distended cow.

    I've no idea what Sinaloa is. Tamaulipas is recognisable, even if they need art lessons - that fish is ****ing huge, and should be in the sea, not on it. But I'll vote Tamaulipas.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,777 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    Sinaloa. Joined by the daughter and we both agree. Like the shape and the colour.
    Also smoking deer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,298 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Two pretty mad flags but I’ll go for Sinaloa for the dinosaur having a shower and the deer smoking weed/vaping.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,271 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Sinaloa.
    The hungry eagle. And don't mess with the cartels....

    Less than 5 minutes, can we get a tie breaker?


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


    No tie-breaker came within the allotted time. Since everybody gave a reason, I'm gonna choose my favorite answer to split them up, which is:

    Quarter finals going live in 30 minutes


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


    Gonna stick with a 20 minute time limit for the quarter final and, again, reasons used will be taken on board in the event of a tie. The draw has been made and two colourful efforts have been put together in our opening bout. Hard one to call.

    My personal favourite Guerrero (the Aztec warrior in jaguar attire) features in the second bout so I'll be keen to keep an eye on the voting there. It seems Chihuahua has had a bit of a cult following so far, will that be enough to take it into the Final 4?

    We go live in just over 10 minutes.

    The hungry lions trying to get the kid hiding in the tree (I presume), a funky knight. And this tournament is probably the closest the Roscommon flag will ever get to winning something

    Tlaxcala. I like the blue and yellow of the other one, but the pair of skulls at the bottom just add an air of menace that so many others seem reluctant to want to convey.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,271 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Tlaxcala
    I like both so tough decision. Also the flag is full of references to Spain ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,509 ✭✭✭Purgative


    Tlaxcala Tidy, uncluttered

    Jalisco

    It is composed from the sea and sand in blue and yellow
    The state emblem is at the centre. The shield shows two lions rampant around a golden tree, on a blue field. It has a golden outline charged with seven red crosses. Above the shield is a closed helmet with blue and yellow mantling. The crest is a red flag with a golden Jerusalem cross.

    Both nice, but Guerrero

    Headdress beats crown
    Dude wearing a big cat into a fight, it's just cool

    Guerrero - more of a native symbol opposed to the colonial yoke from Chiapas.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,509 ✭✭✭Purgative


    Both nice but Chiapas the lion stuck on the wrong side of the river.

    Tamaulipas
    The flag of the state of Tamaulipas is, like most current Mexican state flags, the coat of arms centred on a white field.
    The coat of arms of Tamaulipas consists of four sections, three of which represent the main activities of the state, agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing and oil production. In the middle of the upper sections there's the Coat of Don José de Escandón, first governor of Nuevo Santander. On the lower section there's also Cerro del Bernal, icon of the State

    Guerrero
    The flag of the state of Guerrero is, like most current Mexican state flags, the coat of arms centered on a white field.
    The coat of arms of Guerrero was adopted in 1951. Its shield is charged with a Jaguar warrior; the crest shows an Aztec headdress.


    For me it's Guerrero
    I love the jaguar warrior and the Aztec headdress
