Ultimate Battle of Oceania

Cosmo Kramer

Eastern Highlands, the other one looks like a bad lipstick effort.

Pawwed Rig

Eastern Highlands because I don't know wtf Easter Island pic is of

Omackeral

Very tight here...

Electric Nitwit

Easter Ireland

Just looked it up, a reimiro is a crescent-shaped pectoral ornament once worn by the people of Easter Island. The name comes from the Rapanui rei 'stern' or 'prow' and miro 'boat'. Thus the crescent represents a Polynesian canoe

I like that

Omackeral

It’s a draw. Standby for tiebreaker.

cdeb

This could be a final tbh.

I like Morph carrying the stick.

But the other one is a giant kiss. How can you not like that?

Easter Island - just.

cdeb

Argh - seconds too late!

Omackeral

Let’s separate these.

Eastern Highlands, the colours and the weird little man are a winner for me.

I too enjoy the weird little man. 1-0 Eastern

Ah sugar...my two favourites.

But, I'll have to go with Easter Island.

I appreciate the difficulty in choosing but no reason for or against either flag. Best I can do is half a point. 1 - 0.5 Eastern

Easter Island

Just a great big smile

Describes the flag well. Point awarded. 1.5 - 1 Easter

Describes what’s not liked. Full point. 2 - 1.5 Eastern

Again, fair enough as it’s describing the flag. 3 - 1.5 Eastern

Great reason. Full point. 3 - 2.5 Eastern

Eastern Province advances

BOOOOOOO!! :P

Next match on the way folks...

Wellington

City of New Zealand



VS

Enga

Province of Papua New Guinea

Necro

Wellington - I'm on a bit of a pirate fad at the moment so suits my current mood.

Yarr me mateys

ari101

Enga, missed a few but back in time for one of my faves, loving the colours on this

Zaph

Wellington, the blue on yellow is nice and it's not overly fussy like some of the other NZ flags.

Wellington

Like the boat & big fish sail better

Badly Drunk Boy

Enga. I like that green/black combo (very like the room I'm in at the moment) and an unusual centre. Wellington is just one of those boring cross flags, although the ship is okay. (It also has 3 small English flags on it.)

Enga

Montage of Feck

I really like Enga, but the fish on the sail sadly does it for me, so wellington gets my vote.

Omackeral

Another very close battle here with just over 5 minutes remaining

cdeb

Two of your better MS Paint efforts, but I like the detail on the boat more than the weird flower thing, so Wellington for me.

Electric Nitwit

Enga

Not a big fan of either but, when in doubt, simplicity wins in a flag for me

Omackeral

Only one vote separates the banners here.

Wellington advances

Omackeral

We soldier on again now with our adopted lad making another appearance...

Western Highlands

Province of Papua New Guinea



VS

New Ireland

Province of Papua New Guinea

Cosmo Kramer

Western Highlands. The colours go well together and I always like a diagonal on a flag. One of my favourites out of all the remaining ones actually.

alchemist33

I orefer the colours of western highlands but the emblem is too fussy, so I vote for Eire Nua

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Western Highlands ; easier on the eye, the orange on the other is a tad nauseating

Electric Nitwit

Western Highlands

Apart from the crest it's great. Good colours, striking design

New Ireland, the proportions of the two rectangles is all wrong and it's jarring, haven't they heard of the golden ratio?! And the orange is offensive

Zaph

New Ireland. Not usually a fan of orange, but it goes well with the blue, whereas green and black isn't a combination I particularly like.
