As someone with an interest in vexillology that's my concern as well. The only upside would be that Sup Forums would probably be too lazy to update the flag so at least we wouldn't have to look at it all day.
>is it a blatant ripoff of the French revolutionary flag I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It symbolises our republican values and our historical friendship with France. It's not like we tried to hide it either by saying it was a mere coincidence, the first actual flag was made by three Frenchwomen after all. >Just making the flag of Ireland the same as the flag of Leinster No harp flag unless it has the winged topless woman.
>I'm not a fan of flags with intricate symbols on them A man after my own heart. I shudder to think of the poor quality harps some would draw. >pic That's from the game right? Is it on youtube?
Threads have really been crawling these past few days. Lucky this even survived the night.
>It's never too early for ice cream Exquisite post. Post of the week.
>image Please tell me that isn't Shuichi...
>do you really trust the Irish public not to select some retarded meme flag I mean I think most people would agree that Ireland's Call is a bit shit. And isn't the flag of a nation a manifestation of the people of the nation (the people are the nation)? Thus shouldn't allowing a democratic choice in the matter be the most logical? >Our flag already represents peace between the two communities on the island Very much the sad part of the whole thing. It's meant to be a sign of peace but they view it as a sign of war, terrorism and "cultural supremacy", the last of which is ironic of course. >I'm not a fan of flags with intricate symbols on them Sentence of the week. I could've sworn either you or Prinz was a fan of symbols, but now that I think about it it may have been that Scottish guy that was here for a short period of time. I discussed flags a bit with him, Celtic Union ones mostly.
>I mean I think most people would agree that Ireland's Call is a bit shit I don't think it's something most people have thought about. I didn't even realise how awful it was until /éire/ brought it up, especially that "four proud provinces of Ireland" line. >the people are the nation If that was the case Michael D. would be President of the Irish, not President of Ireland. >shouldn't allowing a democratic choice in the matter be the most logical? Not when this hypothetical vote would be called to appease the unionists who don't want anything to do with this country in the first place. Therefore the preferred outcome of whatever government calls it would be something that bends to their whims.
>Not the best quality/resolution It was the best available.
I'd still say Provo's was worse, but that's just a town while Georgia is a state. >five flags on a flag I can't imagine how bad that would like on an actual cloth flag.
