>New Zealanders have picked a blue and black design with the silver fern as the preliminary winner in a referendum on a possible new national flag.
>>51971198
Blue and black only look good in Estonia's flag tbqhf
>>51971198
Red instead of black and it would have been perfect.
>>51971198
That actually looks pretty decent.
>>51971198
>still copying Australian stars
be original
>>51971370
It does, it might atcually look better than its original flag.
>Not like Canada's old one that was way better.
But dropping the Union jack seems shitty.
To me it seems like stating to not being an english nation.
As in, ethnically.
I know I know, please leave me alone with fugis.
>>51971198
it looks terrible tb.h
>>51971198
why are they betraying the queen?
better than australian flag for sure
>>51971198
The blue needs to be a much darker shade. It just looks off otherwise
>>51971198
Implying that red swastika isn't at all superior. Kek.

This.
The black really clashes, the red worked nicely.

>To me it seems like stating to not being an english nation.
Good thing Germany has no sense in discussing it.
The union jack is a kekstamp. If you call yourself a sovereign nation and have another nations flag on tour flag, you need to be fucking shot.
>>51971198
Looks good desu
>>51971599
kek you lot just got c_ucked by the US to change it so ummm lol :) x
>>51971479
They are literally doing it for their Rugby team.
>>51971434
>>51971599
The maplenigger is right. You can't be a serious country and have the tramp stamp on your flag. Look how everybody laughs at Australians here.
The new flag is a leaf, but it's a badass leaf. Go, NZ!
>>51971670
Shut up before we stamp our flag on your flag just like we stamped our flag on Darwin.
>>51971727
you'd know a lot about stamps wouldn't you, nigger? lol :)
>>51971599
I accept that, I do.
But isn't the commonwealth a pretty nice thing and how bad did they treat you?
I know that ANZAC was herded into machine guns twice and that alone is a pretty good reason.
But wasn't that resolved by being sovereign nations?
I guess it is less artificial than seperating austria and germany, but it still seems like some history will be lost.
I think it's fine, go for it.
>>51971727
*evil minion's nasal laugh*
Do it, maaaster, doo it!

They weren't conquered by them, it is their hurritage after all.

No need to be so passive-agressive, I'm sure you'll get your own flag too eventually.

How about you just shut the fuck up? The fern is a national symbol, unlike a fucking maple leaf. In New Zealand we pride ourselves on good race relations between Pakeha (New Zealand European) and the native Maori people. Paramount to maintaining good relations is choosing national symbols that reflect the evolving racial make up of our wonderful country. Currently, our flag does not represent the maori in anyway and, in fact, symbolized their systematic genocide by using the Union Jack. Untold millions of innocent people have been murdered under the Union Jack in the name of "civilizing those darn natives". By selecting the fern we are choosing a symbol that represents all of us. The fern is a part of New Zealand, they cover this wonderful land of ours. Instead of picking a solely Pakeha, or solely Maori symbol, we are selecting a New Zealand symbol. Can you not see the beautiful nature of this act? I remember when I was in primary school whenever there was a big All Blacks game we'd watch it together, and guess what? We'd always have little black flags with a silver fern on them. We'd watch these modern day warriors represent New Zealand on the world stage and we'd show our support by waving flags of our beautiful Silver Fern. In contrast, whenever we see the Union Jack it invokes disgust in most New Zealanders. We all have some maori relative by 2015, and knowing what that flag means to them is truly vomit inducing. By adapting a new national symbol we hope to embrace the future and hopefully lead the way for Australia to get rid of its racially insensitive flag too. Anyway, your shitty maple leaf is nothing like our fern.
I fixed both cück-stamped flags. Here is Australia.
>>51972786
And this is New Zealand.
>>51972786
>>51972828
Well done, Finn bro
>>51971398
brazil also has the stars
Looks like arse, then again less than 40% actually bothered voting.
>>51972744
pleas delet this
>>51972744
Wtf Poland
>>51973162
It's a pasta that I saw in one of these threads posted by someone from New Zealand.
Too lazy to post it under a proxy tho, clapibro.
>>51971198
Well..... maybe they will not be confused with Australia as much now.
>>51971690
sadly this is true
>>51971787
i dont think changing a flag means that we lose history, we will still have those ties for a very long time but we have been a nation that is literally on the other side of the world from uk its only natural over time we change, and this is part of that.
>>51971198
Good for them.
Everyone should do a referendum.
Current flags are boring as shit.
>>51971714
>Look how everybody laughs at Australians here
m8 /int/ would be deserted if we didn't banter everybody on here
>>51973546
Without you lagwizards, soft cunts would actually talk about international cultures instead of hiding in generals
Realize that
why does it looks like a sports logo
looks retarded, but i hope the dumb chink in charge updates their flag soon so i can save it.
>>51973494
Its a huge waste of money tho, cost like $18 million
>>51972786
By using the nordic cross you're cücked too Mongol
>>51974367
but finland is a nordic country, it's only natural to have it on our flag
meanwhile you still have the flag of a country thousands of miles away stamped on your "own" flag as a sign of being their vassal colony
>>51971198
Actually not bad.
>>51974752
Because Queen
>>51974367
Keked by who? No one has an identical nordic cross on their flag. You literally have the flag of another country on your flag, this is the closest thing to a kekoldry that a country can experience.
>>51971198
Looks good(guess why), those red dots kinda ruin it though.
>>51971198
BEST FLAG WINS
now defeat the kekstamp
>>51971761
holy shit im dying
>>51972733
the cypriot flag is dope tho
so is the TRNC one
>multiple fucking leaves
Looks like a brand logo.
>>51971198
Looks decnt actually
You faggots had a way out. You had an option that was perfect but now you'll be stuck with nothing but mediocrity
>RIP Black Jack
>>51976242

no
A FUCKING FERN
Alright which one of you fucks did this?
>>51971198
The stars ruin it, they look out of place.
>>51976307
You're living on their land, have some respect.
>>51976411
it's not their land anymore, they gave it to us
>>51971198
>how would you like your flag senpai
>>51971599
Canada you gave up a pretty decent looking flag for a fucking leaf. You don't have the right to say that shit.
>>51973546
thats called lashing out
>>51971198
HAHAHAHAHA
HAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>51976447
>WE WUZ CONQUERS N SHIEET, WE DINDU NUFFIN WRONG
NZ-ers - aren't you pissed off that your PM is wasting tax money on this shitty referendum that nobody wanted and will ultimately keep the original flag anyway?
Isn't there a public backlash at this pointless bullshit?

>muh starving kids
>>51976411
>Their land
TOOOPP Kuck
The land belongs to the victor, besides the Maoris have only been there 200 years longer than us, they killed off the original natives.
A bit like how the Zulus in South Africa have no claim there, since they invaded after we first set up ports there.
>>51971198
Oh cool my favorite design got picked
>>51971198
Fucking ugly desu
>>51973064
but it's between another 20 stars

You could literally upload anything, I uploaded a People's Republic of New Zealand one
>>51976557
It was ok. It's still basically preserved in the Ontario flag at least
I mean it wasn't just the union flag that was removed, they dropped just about all the meaningful symbology they could.
In favour of a fucking meme, might as well have put a fucking hockey puck on the flag.
>>51977867
at least we haven't voted to become a republic, and probably never will
>>51971198
Just came here to say that's fairly beautiful
>>51976557
Canada's new flag is miles better than the old one. I like the Union Jack and the UK, but I think other countries deserve more originality in their flags.
I dig the new New Zealand flag, and thought it wAs about time they changed it.
>>51971198
Doesn't matter yet. They still have the vote in March. Though I hope New Zealanders make the right choice.
Hopefully Australia follows suits and at least drops the Union Jack. I mean christ, you guys are a continent and a sovereign nation. Do you guys like being reminded every morning?
>>51971434
But The Union Jack is not the English flag retard.
>>51971599
This desu
Good for you new zealand, nobody wants to be a kek cunt
>>51971198
>A LEAF
AHHHHHHHH
>>51971198
Which one did /int/ like the most?
Also the real question is not when this flag will go into play but how long will it take the mods and admins to change New Zealand's Flag for New Zealand posters?
black should be red desu
>>51977033
where's "your" india now, mr. kek?

I was gonna make a joke, but this flag look amazing
it's maybe the best flag of the too common combination of red, blue and white. Perhaps the black makes it look more respectful.

>rejecting your imperial identity because it triggers leftists

Good color combination, but the stars ruin it.

Pfff
>>51971479
Why did your country betrayed the leaf?
>A fucking leaf
When will Australia change its flag?
>>51980933
When the emus allow it
>>51971327
Blue and black looks good on all flags tbpcahwym
>>51973494
While I would love having that flag, I'd feel like we are pretending to be nordic.
Plus I don't like having seals on flags
>>51971198
Surprisingly decent compared to that red triangle everybody forced so much
>>51979164
I unironically prefer the spiral one
>>51971198
Seems pretty half-assed to me. I liked pic related the most.
>>51979164
that spiral one looks really fucking cool
>a leaf
>>51977680
Holy shit that's one good looking flag. 10/10 would die under it's banner.
>>51976242
This was the best flag
>>51971434
Who are you quoting you scat fuck?
leaf flag is still the best flag you fucking haters
Old flag next time
I hate all the new flags, gross.
>His country has a map on its flag
>>51971198
good job new zealand. You are officially less keked than australians.
>>51977274
>That feel when our eyes gaze upon the flightless and majestic rare-Kiwi bird is a classic icon of NZ's deep relationship with our ancestors, their spirit, land and culture. Te Pepe Tamariki, Te Papa Aotearoa.

They all looks like awful corporate logos, not real flags
>>51979164
I hope mods will change it to laser kiwi
>>51976672
so were the maoris tho family
>>51979164
I liked the one that was similar to the OP one but red instead of black.

>inb4 it sucks because it's hard to draw
>>51971198
>A FUGGING LEAF
>>51972744
that is fucking gay
It looks like the flag of a small island group in the Caribbean or off the coast of africa. Some tropical paradise where people take it easy and live off fishing,tourism and tax evasion. Having anything plant related on your flag is ebin. Not putting a stylized eagle or some other majestic beast on your flag. Why>?
>>51971198
Congratulations on getting rid of the C.uckstamp.
Atleast it's not the fucking spiral
>a fucking leaf
>>51972594
But it's fun shitting on you alcoholic bogans.
>>51972744
>The fern is a national symbol, unlike a fucking maple leaf
What. The Maple Leaf has been Canada's symbol before whites even settled in New Zealand
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
Literally all you had to do to fix your flags problems was this.
That flag has a shite colour scheme and will look outdated in 12 years.
>>51971506
Hmmm..
>>51971434
That's like complaining about South American countries not having Spanish colours.
I'm loving this shit. All the Zhangs are literally, LITERALLY poorious.
>>51974272
$18 million is literally chump change, even for New Zealand.
Would New Zealand welcome me if I emigrate there?
>>51976805
>Isn't there a public backlash at this pointless bullshit?
There is, everyone's bitching about >muh schools and >muh starving children when literally none of them had problems shilling that out on thugby or worse, not even caring about these issues until they saw the price tag of the referendum.
The main reason the cost is $25m is because of postage because they want to keep it a democratic thing, and people are still whingeing about it.
