They've taken the much used cross design and given it two colours, which is unusual, and then added their little constellation of islands as a little local flourish. It's well thought out and pleasing to the eye. Well my eye anyway.

Actually love the Tierra Del Fuego one myself, the blue and orange one with the white Albatross. Be interesting if they meet in the future Ultimate Ultimate Tournament!

I do like the Tierra del Fuego flag. Would be right up there with the Marshalls actually.
