Better.Wouldn't have the gold run across the whole flag. The white fimbrations for the red stripe is taken directly from the Kenyan flag, while the gold fimbrations for the black stripe are taken directly from the 1961-1964 Tanganyikan independence flag. The entire flag is done on the same principle as the Flag of Tanzania which merged the patterns of the Tanganyikan flag and the Zanzibari flag. So if the gold ran across the whole flag then component formed from Kenya's flag would be too far reduced I think to have been plausibly acceptable to Kenya in 1963. For the same reason, the green and blue are the shades that they are (though they would probably be darkened in truth when the flag was being prepared or perhaps a year or two after). Mirroring the gold on the shield though....hmmm...I like that..
So like so?
Still looks a bit half and half than a proper union.
