Our Fair Country: The Commonwealth of New England

The Pine Tree variant? Gross. The original flag is by far the best.

Parliament should have the final word on this after the election. Such low voter turnout does not offer a credible mandate for change.

There were two pine tree flags. The green tree or the Anglo-French tree?

I think the second one had its own name. And was absolutely horrible. Not to mention it violated the rules of vexillography - putting two colours next to each other...

Tonight, we riot.

Indeed. Surely there ought be some percentage of the population that, if falling beneath it, the referendum cannot claim to represent the will of the people.

Personally, I loved The Anglo-Franco flag. It was very unique. It has a kinda Maryland vibe

The Maryland flag is probably the only time breaking that rule works.

The Maryland flag is probably the only time breaking that rule works.

Technically the Maryland flag doesn't break the rule as it's a quartering, and the quarters themselves don't break it since they are colours with metals - black and gold, and red and silver respectively.

Personally I would have made the pine tree wholly gold or silver.

Well I like the new flag and hope it stays.

Yeah, but like 200% closer.

 

[Umbric Man]

Ugh....

The Pine Tree Flag is going to live on in my heart.

The Dawn Flag separatist movement will begin tonight at the local pub. I've reserved a table for two.

 

[Witch0Winter]

Awe.

 

[Expat]

Might the pine be found on the international sports kit, like the silver fern in NZ?

 

[GermanDjinn]

YESSS

 

[puerto-nic0]

nooooooooooooo





(although from a creative point of view I understand that it's probably easier to have the flag fail than to re-do 20,000 different graphics)
