    A good run from Paraná but Tierra del Diego is the much more interesting flag of these two I think.

    Quarters won't be going down tonight, just a head's up of when they will be happening. Was thinking Thursday throughout the day with nice gaps between the matches. Then finish off on Friday night with semi finals and grand final.

    Reminder that our first quarter final will kick off at 12:30!

    Here's the make up of the Elite Eight;

    We have 3 representing BRAZIL, including the country's national flag itself. Equally, we have three provinces of ARGENTINA in the mix. Rounding out the quarter finals then we have an entry each from VENEZUELA and URUGUAY.

    I'm going to give each match the full hour and will encourage reasons as tie breakers could be very important at this stage of them game.

    Santa Catarina hat on a star is pretty unique, yet it works. The lime green centre sets off the stripes nicely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 779 ✭✭✭ChannelNo5


    Santa Catarina Because the hat, the eagle, the groovy colours. its got it all!!

    Santa Catarina - love both, but the green on red is really eye-catching and even trumps the excellent socialist iconography of Chubut.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,165 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Chubut. It's a bit simpler, nicer colour mix and if you asked a kid in Chubut to draw their local flag they'd have a chance of being able to do it.

    Santa Catarina looks a bit like a local crest has been superimposed on an Austrian flag - the two parts of it don't really seem to go together and the thing in the middle is overly complicated.

    So Chubut for me.


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


    Chubut is overall more aesthetically pleasing to me.

    I like the colour scheme, the subtle shades of blue and simplified imagery. (That said I definitely don't dislike the competition, it's nice to see a bright green used well on a flag.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,713 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Chubut - like the blue colours and the unique look to it


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


    Chubut
    Because Santa Catarina looks like a rebel teenage Austria


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,032 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Santa Catarina - if you were to take away the smurf hat and the christmas bow at the end it would be a whole lot better. but the green is lovely against the red and white. and everything else is fine on it too

    Can you break that down sloooowly please

    Santa Katarina for me.
    The Green contrasts nicely with the red and white and there are some interesting things going on: the eagle, the key, the anchor and the hat on top of the star, great stuff all around.

    that Chubut is annoying the heck out of me.

    there's no warmth, no strong fierce animal, no classiness..

    if the lines were the same maybe it would bother me a little less, but one soft wavy line and one jagged is making my brain confused.

    It's cold and bland, and it's making me scrunch my nose when I look at it :o

    Can you break that down sloooowly please
