THIS SHIT WON
(does not mean its now our flag, it will face current in a later referendum
>>51964627
Is this one going to be the new flag or do they still have to vote on whether or not to keep the old one?
>>51964663
Did you fucking read the last line of my post

It's now a debate between OP's pic and the blue ensign.

Should've been this.
Well, those hoping for no change should be happier, this one is fucking awful.
>>51964627
To be completely honest I quite like it
Ah jesus
The triangle was so much better
so is this going to win the next referendum?
I actually want them to have that flag, NZ will be even more of a laughing stock
So the Maorii basically just wanted to get rid of the Union Jack?
>>51964779
doubt it desu
>>51964627
That design just looks awful
It should've been all black and ditched the blue entirely
the flag's black seems be pressured
idk what black means though
>>51964627
>using black on a flag unironically
literally pirates and ISIS tier
>>51964784
nah millennials man, but the fern is THE symbol
>>51964627
KEK
Guess New Zealand'll be keeping the original unless they're fucking retarded. The fern looks like a logo.
Well meme'd

what is the black supposed to represent?
do you guys really aspire to have a sandnigger flag?

>>51964886
It's the first step to acknowledging their new masters, the Chinese
>>51964848

which is basically the NZ equivalent of the washington redskins except not considered raycis enough
>>51964886

Congratulations, you faggots managed to literally pick the shittiest choice.

my nation is an embarrassment
This flag looks so shitty and chaotic. Its looks like they want change flag to new but still keep old one too. I liked that petrol flag most
Next week, Australia will also choose to replace their flag with a company logo.
>>51964963
Seriously what the fuck. At least the straight black and white one wasn't awful.
Alright lads, looks like its time to secede
Nice flag you sheep shagging fuckers
A FUCKING LEAF
NZ should just be incorporated as a state already so they can stop embarrassing themselves
>Black and blue
After years of their cricket team wearing these colours they decided to put them on their flag.
that blue is fucking painful to look at
looks like a gym mat
>aldi original chips coloured blue
What the fuck were you cunts thinking?
>>51964627
I think it looks nice.
I wonder what leaf Australia will be

To think our PM was so invested in changing the flag and picked such awful designs is hilarious. There is no chance of it changing and after a year of wasted time and money, he's only proved the naysayers were right.
>>51965671
The consistency of Red/White/Blue looks much better, how can a whole country have such shit taste?
JUST
>>51965128
Holy shit this ass-anger
>>51965113
Just a black and white flag with a eucalyptus tree and a southern cross above it.
>>51965643
It would look pretty edgy t͏bh
>>51965743
Both are overcluttered with the southern cross as well. The fern is too large to have any other major visual element on the design.

I'm glad desu. I knew it wasn't changing the moment I saw what the four options were. I drove past a hotel today that was flying all four and couldn't help thinking how awful they all looked.
>>51964627
are you stupid?
It's great!
Also it's not a leaf its a fern, a badass fern!
>>51965775
change the stars so they're pure white instead of a thin white outline that looks shit when shrunken down
then you've got a keeper

The best look would have been without the southern cross and only the silver fern on black ground.
Also the silver fern could have less details, to make it easier to paint from memory.
>>51965847
Is the beginning of the end for Anglo flags around the world? Are we all eventually destined to be >fucking leaves?
>>51965991
Now replace the red with black and it's literally perfect.
>>51964627
Ok, OP how about you SHUT THE FUCK UP. This new flag is good and you know it. Not only is this a good flag, it is much better than our original flag pre-referendum. Before, our flag contained the UNION JACK which signals to would-be travellers and tourists that we are still attached to the old BRITISH ways and is simply not just untrue but also does not properly reflect how far New Zealand has progressed! You see since the oppressive actions by our pakeha (whtie) ancestors, the native Maoris had to suffer. By changing the flag to a new one which incorporates the native silver fern, it symbolizes the bonding and struggle between the two parties (pakeha and the maori) and recognizes that yes, we are different but we are still ONE.
>>51965997
no
It won't change r-right lads
>>51965991
That actually looks pretty good>>51966009
>>51966004
Not so fast, the red actually works there
only having two colors is too plain
>>51965997

Getting it wrong three times...
So you have 2.467 American immigrants?
>>51965324
>keeping the kekstamp
>>51966298
Probably 2.476 maoris who made a scribble of their own flag on the voting ballot.
>>51966198
The Eucalyptus tree isn't striking enough to symbolize Australia.
If you were going to change your flag you should go with the Kangaroo or a stylized version of one like on the Olympic flags.
>>51964627
Oh shit my favourite one won. I didn't think it was that popular
>>51966298
It's actually 2,476 which is a much larger number than 2.476.
Was it compulsory to vote?

>>51966274
This guy got it
But really we should never change the flag, It would fucking green and gold and have a Kangaroo on it. We'd like like we're from fucking Africa. The Blue Ensign looks great.
>>51966198
It's actually beautifull
but I would leave out the southern cross and stylize the tree into a geometric symbol. lets say a circle.
Silver circle on black ground?
Like taiwan, Japan, Korea and all the other successfull pacific states.
>>51966378
Europeans have weird decimal usage.
Why would you change it in the first place?
>>51966382
Nu. There's no compulsory voting here on anything.
>>51966198
Sell that to some faggot artist as an album cover.
I spent two seconds ranking them. They're all shit. Looking forward to the flag not changing.
>>51966321
Let's assume any proposed changes would have the Union Jack removed. The Federation flag minus the Union would placate people like Peter FitzSimons who could tow republicans into line on voting for something that retains Australian heritage and identity and not some awful African flag.
>>51966378
>It's actually 2,476 which is a much larger number than 2.476.
lol
That might be true for your place, but the world doesn't use the imperial system or drives on the left side and other silly stuff.
Btw.What is the name of your national outdoor coat?
>>51966394
I am serious, anything more than basic geometric shapes is fuckawful on a flag, heraldry gets a pass, but that's it.
>>51965905
>that pic
You can just tell they banged afterwards.
>>51966394
Our flag looks shit and boring just like all the Oceanian banana republics we're surrounded by, but yes I agree that the alternatives would most likely look horrible. If I'm being honest, I kind of wish the aboriginal flag was our National flag on a matter of aesthetics, it suits our landscape.

Probably get it from them anyway. My Dad is an actual farmer and he is going to buy a new one soon.
>>51967300
Preferential voting is an objectively better voting system than FPTP
>>51967332
STV is a different system to Preferential/Alternative/Instant-Run off voting
I can live with this, considering how buttblasted reddit peak memers are.
Never could have expecter blue, black and white could look so shit on a flag.
>>51964627
The red one looked much better
Need to start coming up with some meme jokes for banners for the cricket and league games now.
If this passes for shame NZ.

>>51967389

Don't worry la, John Key'll be getting another term seeing as Labour can't seem to find a party leader with an ounce of charisma
>>51967619
One of the major problems is that it scales down terribly, flags should be comprised of simple geometric shapes so they're recognisable at a distance.
>>51967634
This one I think, but most of them look good as well.
>>51964627
Good one out of all the finalists. Those four red stars are the reason it still feels like a NZ flag.
