New Look Flag

[emmie]

can't say i like this
let us hope that the Scots and those who vote for independence don't win, or if they do we get a better design than this.

[emmie]

actually they are all awful.

[Zacs-Master]

Quite cool.

[emmie]

you need to scroll down, i think the first one is ghastly.

[Zacs-Master]

Jeez yes, who designed them, a class of infants?

[emmie]

don't know but aren't they grim, lets keep it as it is no matter win or lose.

[vulcan42]

would this be acceptable?

[emmie]

no, far too red. i love our flag, it's a very recognisable one.

[ludwig]

There's actually no need to change it. They should just keep the blue bits irrespective of Scottish independence.

[Mamyalynne]

I doubt it will change radically is at all - I like the fourth one in the link though.

[2sp_]

I'm with ludwig, why bother changing it?

[LazyGun]

The newly designed flag should be a dancing couple rampant against a background of a Cross, to reflect the publics obsession with Strictly Come Dancing and the X-Factor :)

[ChillDoubt]

I would like to see the flag of my country/the Principality incorporated into the Union Flag one day, in whatever guise is deemed fit.

[youngmafbog]

Just replace the blue with green. simple

And yes, it should change to show the sweaties are not part of the club.

[jno]

the union jack isn't a great flag now - a compromise mashup of three flags and people don't know which way to fly it. I can't say any of the new ones look worse.

[emmie]

i want to keep it as it is, i don't like any of these designs, and the Union Jack, or Union flag is a very good and well known flag.

[jake-the-peg]

Something like this I'd say

[emmie]

why isn't it a good flag, do you suppose people associate it with empire, if so that would be foolish.

[emmie]

jtp, bloody hope not.

[Wharton]

How about the Jolly Roger? Seems appropriate enough to me :-)

If Scotland gets independence, will the remaining nations still be called the United Kingdom?

If so, why can't they keep the Union Flag? There will still be a union between England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Lots of people love the Union Flag, leave it be.
