    More of interest in Chihuahua; Veracruz is a bit more mundane.

    Chihuahua
    I love both of them but I like the red of Chihuahua and the mountains in the background.

    Chihuahua, the bastard offspring of a Croatian flag and a bunch of mad Mexicans.

    Tlaxcala - Not particularly in love with it but the other one looks like a warning on a where not to visit guide.

    Agreed on Tlaxcala - like the red half; adds a bit of spice and interest in this competition.

    I'm fascinated by the other one - what's in the bottom right quadrant? Is it a sheaf of corn growing through the hole in a man's palm?

    But Tlaxcala gets my vote

    I presume it’s supposed to signify farming as some kind of counterpoint to the depictions of gun violence and pollution.

    I guess - but why does the hand look like an MC Escher illusion? Or is that me?

    What's the circular bit in the middle the plant is growing through? Or how many fingers does the hand have?

    Fairly sure the Maya wore leopard skin to channel the strength of the animal. I think it's cool; better than the weird jester hat coming out of yer man's nose of the other one anyway.

    Guerrero for me

    Breaking chains....fight for freedom.

    Haven't googled the flag symbolism yet till next round but I am guessing that's what the breaking chains are.

    Both a bit cartoonish but Tamaulipas best of the pair.
