Wellington. Neither are particular favourites of mine, but it's a bit more interesting than the Aboriginal flag.

Necro

Going for the Australian Aboriginal Flag, just think it's much nicer personally.

SineadSpears

Wellington - someone said earlier in the thread that it looks Scandinavian & I think it does too. I'm not sure whether it's suits for that particular part of New Zealand, buturn it's a great flag either way so ...

Pawwed Rig

I like them both but the aboriginal flag has personality and personality goes a long way

Cosmo Kramer

Definitely feels like the weaker semi final. I'm struggling to see how Wellington, as a city in New Zealand, can justify including the St George's Cross not once but three times on their city flag.

So, while the aboriginal flag is far from a classic, it gets my vote here.

ari101

Wellington, I've never been a fan of the other one.

Barna77

I like both But aboriginal flag for me this time

Citizenpain

Aboriginal flag.But neither would be my fav

Sawduck

Wellington nice looking flag with a ship on it, gets my vote

Montage of Feck

The aboriginal flag, I like what it represents.

Damn, my two favourites. I'll go Wellington as it has everything a flag needs - good colours, good emblem, not too fussy.

Tino Rangatiratanga

National Flag of the Maori People



VS

Western Highlands

Province of Papua New Guinea

Necro

Tino Rangatiratanga - Be a cool final with the Maori taking on the Aborigines. Also it's probably the best flag left imo.

Citizenpain

Western Highlands
The green is a nice shade
And my daughter likes the gold

ari101

Tino Rangatiratanga, but these are the better flags overall so whichever goes through should win.

Pawwed Rig

Tino Rangatiratanga. It reminds me of the Prussian flag. Prefer the colour scheme than the other

SineadSpears

Tino Rangatiratanga - don't think I've voted for this yet.

I kinda prefare the WH flag but I think the stars are a bit much, so I'll vote for simplicity here

JP Liz V1

Western Highlands

alchemist33

Western highlands. Excellent colour scheme and layout. The black, white and red of Tino is very jarring

Montage of Feck

Tino Rangatiratanga it's a unique design with striking colours.

Barna77

Tino Rangatiratanga
Classy

Tauriel

Western Highlands


Much more interesting to look at and again that shade of green is perfect

Tino Rangatiratanga

It's a great flag, swirls are super unusual

Purgative

Western Highlands - I like it more, its more like a national flag, than the other. The other could be the logo of the design council, or some equally worthy crew.

Is it vote on thread Omack?

Tino Rangatiratanga if so. I love both flags and genuinely think the Aussies should consider replacing their current national one with this permanently, but I just think the design and colour scheme of Tino is genuinely just brilliant and deserving of the win here just a little bit more. Happy with either one winning mind.

Probably not Necro!

Necro

Whoops. missed the first post there somehow!

ari101

Tino Rangatiratanga without a doubt for me.

It came down to Maori vs Aboriginal interestingly!

cdeb and I campaigned for it in Round 1 when it scraped through against Australian Capital Territory (not a bad flag but really...).

It is really a beautifully simple idea, well executed, maybe it does not have the symbolism of some, but it gets my vote.

Come on Tino!

I think Tino could be a dark horse here actually. That's quality.

(Provided it doesn't get dumped out in the first round of course!)

cdeb wrote: »

I'd better chip in with a reason in case this goes to tie-break.

Love the black and red combo, and the wave feature is different too. Bit like a sea of blood washing up on a pristine white beach at night. What's not to like?

Just going to leave these here from Tino's round 1 bout.

Ye know what to do!

So Australia should replace their flag with the Maori flag?


Are these the same Maoris from New Zealand?

I'm glad you did and I would never have copped and my vote would not have been counted :D:D

No I'm on about the Aboriginal flag, sorry

Well I was, but I think the Aboriginal flag is far nicer than the Australian national one at the same time

Thanks for clearing that up :pac:

Lads, how mad is this... A non state/province won the Canada USA state/province tournament, that was Nunavut which is a territory. Then a technically non European entity won the Battle of Western Europe when the Canary Islands won and they're just off Africa. Now a non subdivision is going to win the Oceania subdivision tournament!
