Boards Ultimate Flags of the World Tournament

Marshal Islands

Equator. Star. Cultures. Ocean. It's a geography lesson.

md323

Marshall islands.

Its simple and reminds me of a beach and the sun

CK22

Marshall Islands

My favourite since the start. Colours work so well together and it is much simpler than Eswantini.

Plenty of symbolism as well and just an all round class flag.

Eswatini is slightly better for me

quickbeam

Marshall Islands. I like the swish to it.

Never too late to let Argentina know how I feel about its dull colouring scheme!

Also - is Kiribati gone?!

On these two - I can't forgive the Marshall Islands for knocking out the Bhutan dragon. So eSwatini for me.

Edit - eSwatini knocked out Kiribati. Now I don't like either of these flags for what they've done! I mean, I'll stick with eSwatini, but it needs to know I begrudge it my vote...

Marshall Islands
The diagonal equator

bmorrissey

Marshall Islands for the design and the colours

normanoffside

Eswanti again purely for the shield and spears.

ArnoldJRimmer

Marshall Islands, a fantastic design

Fr Tod Umptious

Marshall Islands for it's colors and minimalist design

Ferris_Bueller

The shield and spears of Eswatini wins this one for me.

Father Hernandez

Marshall Islands, like the colours and simplicity over Eswatini.

Not a fan of the Eswatini flag at all.

Skylinehead

Marshall Islands. It's only gorgeous.

Eswatini has a nice story but it's a crap flag, let's be honest.

Purgative

I'm torn, more than any other pairing thus far, but Marshall Islands by a nose. But I wont be over sorry if I lose out this round.

c.p.w.g.w

Marshall Islands...more peared back contemporary looking flag

Revit Man

Marshall Islands, cleaner and 'more professional' looking!
The Eswatini flag looks too cartoonish for me.

Cosmo Kramer

Marshall Islands - to get that much meaning into as clean and simple looking a flag as that is a fantastic achievement. And the colours work really well together too.

I also like the colours of the Eswatini flag, but I just can't forgive the messy shield in the centre, there's too much going on there.

So Marshall Islands for me, it's a superb flag.

ozzy jr

Marshall Islands.

The flag tells us everything we need to know. The other one leaves me bewildered

EmmetSpiceland

Marshall Islands, I’m not sure what those weird leaf things are on the other flag but they don’t sit well with me.

Uncharted

Marshall Islands.


A real dark horse from the outset.

It's just so eye catching and simple, but actually very clever in its design.



I'm gonna call it.....

This is the outright winner imo.

KathleenGrant

Eswatini
The red stands for past battles, the blue for peace and stability, and the yellow for the resources of Eswatini The central focus of the flag is a Nguni shield and two spears, symbolizing protection from the country's enemies. Its colour is meant to show that white and black people live in peaceful coexistence in Eswatini.

I like this so it's Eswatini for me

Baggly

Marshall islands. The more I look at eswatini's flag the less a fan I am of it.

These are both strong flags but I'm gonna for eSwatini as it's just that bit more striking and distinctive.

Marshall Islands is very nice too though (it shouldn't have beaten Bhutan though!)

Leg End Reject

Marshall Islands, it's pretty and doesn't look like someone carelessly splashed it with paint.

Arghus

Eswatini.

It's a bit more unique - shields and spears and all that.

Still absolutely shocked that Argentina - a pretty run of the mill flag - edged out the glorious insanity of Uganda.

KathleenGrant

Easy know I have been googling information about flags for this tournament.

De Bhál

Marshall Islands - Nicer looking flag. Sheilds and all that are too big on the other one and just take over the flag

davetherave

Marshall Islands, it has go faster stripes, looks more sleek and prefessional. Eswatini has too much going on.

alchemist33

Marshall Islands.


The light blue of Eswatini clashes with the red for me.

Pawwed Rig

Eswatini because of Zulu

Badly Drunk Boy

Marshall Islands is classy. I don't like the colours of the Swazi one.

Archeron

Marshall Islands for me, looks like it's showing where some treasure is buried at the end of a movie.

Is that the online version of Eswatini?

It's the way the Swazis write it. First time I ever saw the name change being reported it written was with a small 'e' and capital 'S' so it's stuck with me:

Must say it was a great idea, as I no longer confuse it sWitzerland like I often did before.

Earthhorse

Huh. Well, colour me informed.

Buford T. Justice XIX

eSwatini for me.

Marshall islands really needs a chicken on theirs.

Fr Tod Umptious

After this whole game is over people should go to this site and test their knowledge

After the start of this post, I've made it a personal goal to learn all the flags in the world and get 100% on the quiz. Would be a cool thing to know.

cdeb

Got 161.

A lot of those African ones do blend into one another after a while.

And the bloody Middle East needs to stop having red, white and black on every flag!

Omackeral

Oh yeah, Marshall Islands Win!

eSwatini nearly changed their name again in the time I was away.

Semi Final 1 is at 18:00

Semi Final 2 is at 19:30

136 / 197. Their Bhutan dragon was hillarious!

cdeb

It was a bloody zebra!

Cosmo Kramer

Have to commend the voters on Boards, three great semi finalists. And Argentina, but I think that's more down to the way the draw fell than anything.

Any of Marshall Islands. Dominica or Namibia would be a worthy winner.

Marshall Islands and Dominica are similar.
Might lead to one of the other two winning

Omackeral
