    Three very random centrepieces there.

    I like the Lesotho one for being different though. Looks like a spinning top or something. So I'll vote Lesotho

    Edit - it's a traditional hat on the Lesotho flag apparently. Definitely gets my vote so!

    Lsotho,

    looks cleaner

    Haiti - Not too gone on any of those three but Haiti is the best of a shook enough bunch.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Actually, another wiki fact -
    The flag of Haiti is one of six national flags whose designs incorporate a depiction of the flag itself

    So they put their flag on their flag, as did El Salvador in fact. Kinda like that! (But the hat still wins it for me)

    Haiti's looking the best there.

    what a brilliant thread to stumble upon :pac: haiti all day long:cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭bmorrissey


    Lesotho, not many flags use the colour scheme and the hat i the center is cool.


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


    El Salvador. It's neater


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,728 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Lesotho. Good colours, nice hat!

    Another vote for Lesotho’s hat. You can’t beat a nice hat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,517 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    El Salvador for me

    Zimbabwe - Very striking. I like Guatemala's too but it's a bit too Christmassy.

    Guatemala

    Nice calm colours, then a few weapons in the middle.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    The bird on the Zimbabwe flag is called the Zimbabwe Bird. It's a bit like us putting the Ardagh Chalice on our flag.

    But guns and your date of independence trump that I think. It's tight, but Guatemala for me.

    Samoa not at the races here unfortunately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Zimbabwe for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,464 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    Guatemala

    A lot of Latin American countries have that light blue in their flags it seems, I think it works very well


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,343 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Guatemala. Samoa is a bit boring and Zimbabwe is pretty rough on the eyes.

    Guatemala for me out of those.

    Don't like the Zimbabwe flag, far too much going on. Zimbabwean people are obsessive about it though.

    From the last group Haiti must be one of the worst flags out there, it looks like it was thrown together on MS Paint.

    A lot of Latin American countries have that light blue in their flags it seems, I think it works very well

    They're all copy cats of the Argentinian flag. Argentina was the first Spanish colony in the Americas to achieve independence.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,822 Mod ✭✭✭✭riffmongous


    Zimbo, very striking


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭bmorrissey


    Zimbabwe: Nice bird on it, the colors all mean something to the people so thats cool and its colorful.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Guatamala, less shouty and easier on the eye.


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


    It’s the Central American nation that pasts the post. This match is Asia vs Africa vs Europe, who are you backing?

    Sweden - delicious IKEA meatballs.


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


    Liking Tajikistan's little design, so that.

    It's like a modern football club crest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,464 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    Tajikistan


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,039 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    I like both the Sweden and Djibouti efforts. Tough one but I'll go for Djibouti.

    Tajik is just a poor man's Iran.

    Gotta go for Tajikistan.

    Sweden.

    Cos hot blondes.

    Djibouti,

    because i got it as a pointless answer when playing along to the gameshow


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Djibouti

    It's got some kind of 3d affect on my eyes


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭bmorrissey


    Sweden is too similar to the other Scandinavians. Djibouti wins it for me


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,343 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Sweden. Nice and bright without being too fussy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,208 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    Sweden for me too. I really like the color combination.

    Ikea. Nice colour combo.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,039 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Fair enough.

    I do like the IKEA meatballs.


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


    Let’s get to it. A real unusual offering here, a replacement one and a country that has split into two.
    Kiribati

    Kiribati all day long.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Kiribati, best of the worst


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


    Kiribati - Comfortable winner here. That's a banger.

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Yep, called it as a contender back at the start. That's a quality design. Not up against much here; should be a 5-0-0


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Has to be Kiribati.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    One minute to get the five votes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,039 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Definitely Kiribati.

    Libya is an improvement on their previous flag to be fair.

    Sudan is just another generic Arab country flag, there are loads of them and I don't particularly like any of them.


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


    Kiribati.

    Hadn't realised Libya had changed. Used to be a good quiz question - what country has only one colour in tis flag? Libya, and it used to be just green
