Union jack a shit

Poland most iconic

Yanks have really been trying but their flag is just shit. Their flag reminds people of obesity and mcdonalds whilst ours on the other hand reminds everyone of our superiority

Im not even fucking American and i think the American flag is way more iconic

Because we were first.

I gotta say the Union Jack is pretty based, yeah.

This, to be honest. The UK has a public image that's a lot better than the US.

>a flag that can easily be confused with two other countries

nah thats shit

Apparently there are countries where citizens are more likely to recognize the American flag than their own flag.

Union jack is among the most aesthetic, but I'd say the American flag is the most recognized today for obvious reasons.

Hawaiian flag

...

France, UK, US, whichever nordic had their cross first, and Brazil are the only countries without a pathetically derivative flag.

american flag a shit

/thread

Agree with the UJ being the most iconic, but special mention to the Seychelles for aesthetics

...

The flag in my room

An ugly flag for an ugly country of ugly people.

Ugliness is what made Britain great though.

LOL Poland was destroyed in WW2 in a few days

well that would have to be the nazi germany's

it's a beautiful flag though

Not jut being biased here - the union jack is the most iconic of the current world flags.

It's a rip-off, though.

How is France not derivative? It a regular three color flag.

...

A rip-off how?

I'm tired of your shit union jack on our flag

Nah, this is

I am a little biased but yeah, our flag kicks ass and everyone knows it!

most iconic flag coming through

where's the part about it being a rip-off?

Too bad that superiority is 300 years too late.

your flag is a symbol of hate, racism, and bigotry

What is the name of this Oblast

Our flag is on other country's flags. That says it all desu

England is literally Dannebrog with reversed colours.
The Union Jack is Scotland and England merged. England holding the power puts England as the flag of precedence. England copying Denmark (and so blatantly even) makes it a rip-off.

Estonian SSR

...

>how does anything evolve?
Everything if a rip off if you want to be that anal about it.

*is

England's flag is Saint George's cross.

Y not Sicily

We were the undisputed superpower for 300 years. You've taken that place since ww2 and you're already falling apart. Lmao, you're still desperately trying to fight off the inevitable.

Also you're forgetting Northern Ireland being represented in the union jack

kek

The Scottish flag is older anyway

Do explain.

WHY IS IT OFF BALANCE?
WHY DID THEY DECIDE THAT?

That I did.
I wasn't even aware Northern Ireland had its own flag. The more you know.
The original version wasn't blue, though. So not really.
Already did.

The guy next door to me flys 2 confederate flags and a huge American flag. The mexican across the street from him flys a California state flag(in south carolina) weird dynamic between the 2. They give each other awkward glares when they're both outside.

But in all honesty the British flag is great. As is the American flag.

>The original version wasn't blue, though
You're autistic.

Hmm, I would disagree. We were undisputed superpower from about 1815 - 1918.

We were a global power before and after that though. Just our lead before was being challenged by France, and our lead after WWI was smaller because of America and Germany catching up.

Canada's flag is pretty cool desu

Problem with most flags is how easy it is to misidentify.

American flag is similar enough (in small images at least) to mayalsia and other shitty countries.

2/3 colours in rows/columns are all shit

British flag is best flag.

Canada's flag is disgusting.

Not quite sure I follow. Is this a case of "I have no rebuttal so you must be picrelated"?

That's an oddly cool flag.

I was kidding m8

>A
>FUCKING
>CANNABIS
>LEAF

It really is. Shame since their old one was so good-looking.

>t. Paddy

[laughs in HRE]

is there any empire more pathetic than the british "empire?"

they weren't competent enough to conquer yurop so they went and subjugated a bunch of brown people who were still chucking spears. their entire existence they got lucky and mostly squandered they good fortune by being a bunch of kike puppet inbred subhumans

You dumb fuck, we got our cross flag from Genoa, we paid them for it's use to show our association with them and that we were protected by them years ago before England was anything important.

Genoa was around since 1100 and the red cross/white background was on the clothes of fucking crusaders.

So you think the fucking Italians and all the crusaders stole the christian motif of a cross from your flag? Yeah right.

>kike puppet
Glad you could take that mantle off us.

>England is literally Dannebrog with reversed colours.

It's St Georges Cross you fucking muppet

That being said It was copied, but not from the fucking Danes

It was copied verbatim from the Republic of Genoa during the Crusades

I think FYROM has a pretty good flag

You're not wrong that others copied our flag. So you're a copy of a copy, or?

...

Another one of my old favourites from Franco's Spain.

Burning your nation's flag should seriously result in serious punishment.

You don't even use the right shade of Scottish blue. WTF is that?

The German flag is crap but so is the country.

You are literally a colony of the British Empire you fucking spastic, as are all the most successful countries in the world.

Spanish and Portugese colonials are hopping your border to get into our empire. French colonials are...oh.

>Dane literally believes ITALIANS stole the christian motif of a cross from Denmark before the Daneborg flag was even in use

Kind of surprised no-one has mentioned France's flag to be honest.

It'd be hard to claim any one man single-handedly changed history more than Napoleon.

Also, the French Revolution was the 18th century equivalent of REMOVING GLOBALIST, so it suits this board I think.

Our flag is the only reason I don't want Scotcucks to leave cause we might have to change it.

The Union Jack is the coolest and most marketable flag pattern in the world.

Cool coat of arms.

(((Atheism/homosexuality)))

Why is it everything needs a flag/ banner?
Is this because of computers? Is this because of everything, literally, having its own icon on the screens we watch all the time, that the idea of a concept/ some thing without its own flag/ icon/ avatar is too alien to us?

i'd rather be fighting off degeneracy than be a degenerate fucked country like ours

yeah 4sure pax britannica

your flag is a prostitue for anyone
They pass it around and sell it on shirts,wallets,cars,cd records, ect, ect

It doesnt mean shit its lost all value lol
None looks at that flag and goes "Oh wow english culture, english values, family, christianity, being a hard worker, being civilized.

They think of the "sex pistols" or "edgy hipster" culture.

Like i said your flag is just a prostitute for whom ever wants to make a quick buck.
