    Suffolk

    That red is a bit much in the Jersey flag

    Suffolk I like the imagery on this one though maybe not so much the particular shades used, still it get's my vote. The other could have been better if so much room wasn't given to the cross.

    Jersey, always kinda liked this one and one folk through should be enough.

    Suffolk
    Good crown

    Jersey tidy, pleasant flag.

    Don't love either but I'll go for Suffolk in the hope of a East Anglia grudge match with Norfolk in the next round, it'll be great to see the old six knuckle shuffle on both sides

    Wiki has a page for each of the flags for anyone who wants more. Just checked a few that are featured so far and what surprises me most is how recent most of these designs are. The oldest of the UK ones that I've checked only goes back to 1988.

    Suffolk, think Robin Hood hitting King John or King Richard :p

    Can you have just one folk or is a mass noun? :confused:

    Suffolk for me, the jersey- Channel Islands looks like uts trying too much to be English

    Wrong end of the country :). I just checked, it's the crown of Saint Edward the Martyr.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    I like both.

    Suffolk is nice and neat.

    but Jersey has a crown AND lions. although I'm not really sure about the red X, it's not very welcoming.

    sooooo, I think I'm gonna go with Suffolk

    That's because England has only existed a few years, since they voted to leave the United States of Europe and have their own sovereignty :p

    That's pretty dominant.

    Suffolk advances to Round 2

    Hampshire - I like the colour scheme and images. Whereas that life buoy on the Skye flag is confusing being neither in front of or behind the post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    Oh both of these are interesting...
    Isle of Skye - Not sure if they intend for me to see a ships wheel with the boat in the corner and circle over cross but it works nicely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,241 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Isle of Skye by a mile!

    The circle weaving around the cross is clever, the colours are good and the boat is a great little flourish

    I thought it was a polo mint!

    Isle of Skye - nice boat, nice colours


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,123 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    Isle of Skye.
    I like the color combination, the ship on the top corner and the circle that goes from back to front


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Isle of Skye

    Without a doubt, love the interlocking ring and cross, and then there's like a Viking ship in the corner?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    not really keen on the colours of both.

    but I prefare the Isle of Skye flag


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,288 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,549 ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    All hail our new Hampshire overlords!

    Isle of Skye is the one to beat so far for me so I will go there, a lovely blend of colours and the interwining circle and cross is a nice touch


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Am honestly surprised the love Skye is getting. I really don't see it.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,258 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Skye is a cracker. First genuine contender for me. The boat is great and I like the ring too

    My interpretation to that is showing that they are different but both equal..
