    Guyana has too many angles, it's too pointy. Nambia on the other hand have a flag that is sleek and knows what it is doing.

    This contest has me flipping and flopping.
    Flip again to vote Namibia


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Olivia Yellow Selenium


    Namibia is a playschool version of Marshall Islands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Two of the most colourful flags left, I will go with Namibia as it is more of a serious looking flag as opposed to a kids design.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭ozzy jr


    Namibia,

    The white line around the yellow, looks like they forgot to add the black line that surrounds the red.

    Guyana - I was born in the land of the mighty Roraima and, as the locals say, "my navel string is buried there".

    Two of my favourites and a shame to see either go, but Namibia has a nicer mix of colours in my opinion, so I'll go for that one.


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


    Namibia wins! . Also discounted a handful of votes due to no reason given.


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


    A clear favorite vs a cult classic.
    Nepal

    VS

    Uganda

    Uganda

    You know, seeing as it's a whole flag and not a baseball pennant.

    I'll go for Uganda.

    Not one of my favourites, although I like the chicken, but the Nepal flag looks like a cropped picture of a loyalist Christmas tree.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Uganda. A possible winner for me, colours are strong and do not look cheap like some of the other colourful flags, then the chicken/crane in the middle is just class. Nepal the most unique flag there is but doesn't have much else going for it.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Uganda, best of the two but still fugly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,661 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    Ah, you're killing me Omackeral!

    I really love the Uganda flag: it's absolutely glorious. It's mental to look at.

    But, Nepal... Nepal is just fantastic: the shape, the colour scheme. Its uniqueness suits the country it represents.

    I have to go for Nepal, but with a heavy heart. I would have probably have voted for Uganda in any other match up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,978 ✭✭✭Citizenpain


    Uganda , the chicken sways it


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


    I think novelty has brought Nepal this far - and deservedly so.

    But you need something more substantial than two triangles now. Like Foghorn Leghorn for example. With one foot off the ground to symbolise the country striding forward

    Also, the colours are more striking.

    So Uganda for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,139 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Uganda, it's a real flag the Nepal thing looks like something you'd find on a toy.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Nepal. The Uganda flag looks like something you'd see Watford fans waving, and that could never be a good thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    I'm not a fan of the Nepal flag. Shapes are interesting yet... Exhausting.

    For that reason and because its a great flag.... UGANDA

    Uganda. It's actually a flag not a puzzle piece.


  • Registered Users Posts: 243 ✭✭md323


    I'll go Uganda.

    Because its a full flag, as someone else said, the Nepal one is like a pennant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,499 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    Nepal to stop the whitewash


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭ozzy jr


    Uganda

    Because you'd never be able to tie Nepal's to a fence at a football match.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Nepal - looks like all my favourites are going out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Nepal. a unique flag

    Uganda looks like its advertising Los Pollos Hermanos

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,549 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Uganda, because of the chicken and it doesn't look like it was attacked by moths.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,786 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    Aaaaagh can't decide between being unique and symbolism


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,786 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    Ok read both blurbs about symbolism again

    Nepal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    Nepal.

    It's a little angry thing.

    Nepal, the other one has ghastly colours and a, weird, funky chicken on it.

    Nepal. If the other one didn't have a chicken on it, may have been different


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Nepal because it dares to be different.


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


    Uganda wins! But it was seemingly saved by the bell to a degree as loads of votes came in for Nepal after the time limit expires.

    Good vs Evil
    Seychelles

    Albania. Flipped a coin, heads it is.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Seychelles, for being pretty.


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Albania

    Bad ass flag


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,982 ✭✭✭Degag


    Seychelles, like the colours


  • Registered Users Posts: 243 ✭✭md323


    Albania.

    For europe. And its class

  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Albanian flag looks like it's of a makey-uppy dictatorship in a YA alt history novel. Seychelles flag looks like the wrapper from the kind of sweets that lists E numbers in the 100's.

    Seychelles it is, taste the rainbow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Seychelles for me.

    It's more than just a load of colours splashed on a flag, despite the blue, yellow, white and green triangles all being different shapes they all have the same area, and the red area is exactly twice the area of the other colours. It's a really well put together flag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,714 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Seychelles

    Albania's is something a teenager would think is cool.

    Albania.

    Seychelles is just a fancy Romania with a bit of Italy added on.


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


    Seychelles - its joyous and happy


    Albania maybe great for WW1 but now its just depressing and shoite


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    What? I leave for a couple of hours & ye dump Bhutan!!!

    No taste!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,039 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Seychelles, for the colour. Albania’s is great, just a little oppressive.

    Albania's is very oppressive - it gets my vote.
