    1: Lambayeque - the only thing I like more than crowns, birds & silk scarves, are Lions!
    I don't even care that there is too much red. There are Lions so..

    2: Maldonado - silky, castle & nice detail in the water

    3: Barquismeto - actually think there's way too much going on but at least it has some imagination

    4: Atacama - bore

    Maldonado (URU) Fish, sea, castle - lovely
    Lambayeque (PER) Lions crest, OK

    Barquisimeto (VEN) Looks like its been vandalised a chank taken out

    Atacama (CHI) - More effort lads if you ever want to win a Boards ultimate Tourno


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Maldonado - really like this one, it's so unusual but in a good way
    Lambayeque - love the redness
    Barquisimeto - a bit too insane
    Atacama

    Not sure on this group at all



    Puno (PER) - best of the bunch

    Canelones (URU) OK, its nicer in silk so yeah gets my vote


    Chocó (COL)
    Magdalena (COL)there's some reason for that oddish pattern but I've no idea what


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,272 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Puno
    Canelones, ah love the name
    Chocó
    Magdalena, in the sky with stars


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    1: Puno - getting middle Eastern vibes off it. Not sure if that's good or bad

    2: Magdalena - fir the dancing star man :pac:

    3: Chocó - not really fond of the colours here

    4: Canelones- I'm just staring at this with a blank expression.

    Those are some...special flags right there!

    Magdalena (COL) - that chaotic star arrangement screams "we don't give a fúck" and I can respect that
    Canelones (URU) - the big fat red slash makes me think that this flag has been censored or banned, and that creates intrigue
    Puno (PER) - it's.....well, I don't know what it is, but it's not unpleasant. Brings to mind low-budget/primitive video-game graphics.
    Chocó (COL) - no, no, no, I do not like that top-heavy stripe arrangement at all.

    Delta Amacuro (VEN) - a busy pattern but clever choice of muted colours stop it from being overbearing. Also a helpful map in case you forget where you are.

    Cali (COL) - nice, pleasant, simple flag.

    Manaus (BRA) - that grumpy sun is legitimately unnerving.

    Amambay (PAR) - too Nordic.

    Delta Amacuro (VEN) - very different flag, a lot going on but it all works well together
    Cali (COL) - simple, but a nice mix of colours
    Amambay (PAR) - green Norway would have done better but for the totaly unnecessary crest in the top corner
    Manaus (BRA) - a cream coloured flag? No, I'm not having that!

    1: Delta Amacuro - lovely colours and I love the shape of the land added on to the side

    2: Amambay - bit nazi like and I'm njt sure yet what's on the crest but its probably better than the next two

    3: Manaus - I like the crest other than the moon face. But the cream/lemony colour is awful

    4: Cali - meh


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭SineadSpears



    Manaus (BRA) - that grumpy sun is legitimately unnerving.

    From a distance at first I thought he was a grump too, but then I zoomed in & seen he's just got a blank expression. Which is just as unnerving :pac:

    I'm electing to put Cali through as it garnered the most second place preferences among voters who gave reasons.

    Cali advances.
