biffer Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Long list of forty designs to be considered before a referendum https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/gallery/ I like the simplicity of this and this is quite cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 My missus likes the kora ones. I like the black ones, but this one is kind of cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Isn't using the Kora a bit like wearing the clothes of the person you chucked out their house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 How will the referendum work? How many flags will be in the final vote and will the current one with the butchers apron be included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I was wondering how long this thread would last without a butcher's apron reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I was wondering how long this thread would last without a butcher's apron reference You and me both. I'm starting to think it's impossible to have any kind of sensible conversation on here, let alone one about independence, without some rabid ####nut elbowing their way in from one side or the other.

Toepoke Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Anyway the list is taking too long to load, is the All Black flag with the silver fern on it? I thought that was the de facto alternative flag for NZ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgowmancity Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Anyway the list is taking too long to load, is the All Black flag with the silver fern on it?

usainboltyarocket Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Well done NZ. Green fern looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy North Croy Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 What's the point of the "Black Jack" entry if they want to get rid of the Butchers Apron? The wave ones remind me of an American "soccer" team badge from the 70-80's.....was it Ft. Lauderdale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Whit's wrong with that? No point of wasting them. True, Alexander the great wore "Persian Garb" when he was doing his Artemis roleplaying. ‘ Edited August 11, 2015 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 If going by the comments on stuff.co.nz which probably isn't wise (for current opinion) then it seems many don't like the new designs nor want a new flag. I like the red/blue one with the fern, swirl, and stars. A more modern version of their current flag - keeping the red and blue for the ones who like the old flag/commonwealth, the swirl from the inclusion of the Maori people, and the fern.

Toepoke Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm pleased they're changing it anyway. Not because they're getting rid of the UJ but because it's so similar to the Aussie flag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Wish the one with the kiwi with laser beams coming out its eyes had made the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when it comes to a vote the old flag will be included in the options so they might chose to stick with it. Then it will be off the table for a generation or even a life time. #FlagRef2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove_Sheep Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I believe the winning design then goes up against the current flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working with a number of New Zealanders recently, mainly middle-aged, far-from-radical types and all were up for a new flag - partly because no bugger can tell the difference between the current one and Australia's.
