I love that so many Oceania flags have the Southern Cross in them.

And birds. Can't forget the birds.

I simply can not support a flag that features colours that don;t match.

#6 from group C is pretty bad. 6th or 7th best of that bunch - the butterscotch ray ruins it.

It's more that dull shade - "butterscotch." The above cited team logos don;t bug me. Well, the Broncos one is shitty, but the others are okay. And the FC Cincinnati one is kind of cool.

Group 3 had the two best ones in the set. Should have mixed them with the 4's.

And why does 4A include the Stanley Cup?

No less an authority than "Flagpedia.net" says:
The flag of Papua New Guinea is considered one of the most beautiful and most spectacular ones.

That's why I don't like that one and can't understand why it's gotten this far. It works better if the bird is a silhouette or stylized figure, but it's like they just put a clip art from 1995 on a flag.

Live look at the Kiribati house of parliament, where celebrations have broken out yesterday or today or both days or whatever the hell they did with the International Date Line.

Meanwhile, the Midway Islands Drawing School Sample Riots burn on into their 3rd day. Sad.

I kind of liked the Crimea flag. "You'll have to walk a little closer to find out if we're really surrendering or not"

Also, goodbye Greece and Italy. Please come back for the food bracket.

Number 1 is just one of those signal flags, right?

But seriously, there are like, six different flags in this one that I like.

I'm surprised #8 has never invaded #3 for copying their flag but putting another thing on it to look better.

I had seen that graphic before and assumed the flag was a cut-out pennant thing like Nepal. Didn't realized it was just slapped on a white rectangle. Yeah, that sucks.
