New Zealand's new flag might be Silver Fern (Red, White, and Blue)

Black and white is weird for a flag unless you're ISIS.

It really shits me that people are actually giving ISIS this much power. Companies named ISIS shouldn't have to change their name because of those fuckwits, and NZ should not be forbidden from using black & white on their flag.

I don't really get some of the anti black/white comments in this thread. I think it's super appealing and clean for a flag. I mean, saying it shouldn't be done because the flag of ISIS is also black and white? Come on.

Red white and blue is so BORING and overdone.

The ISIS flag will have come and gone within a decade.

NZ will likely have the new flag for hundreds of years.

Being concerned about comparisons to ISIS is weak enough to begin with, but also shortsighted relative to how long this new flag will exist.
 
Current flag is so terrible. Man! So awful... the things that passed as decent designs back in the day... ugh.

Glad they are moving in a new direction.
 
Why continue to relate to a country that you have left in the dust?

Just stick a fuck off big dragon on it like us Welsh. You could even say "Lord of the rings was made here and that had a dragon" as an excuse.
 
Two is probably the best. I'd like three if it had some color in it. As it stands, it look like a flag for a nation ruled by The Machines.
 
I like the current one for some strange reason. I also predict the current one will win if there are more older people in New Zealand.
 
It's hard to gauge at the moment whether it will change at the moment, but if it does my money is on number 2 based on the reaction over here.
 
I'm not a fan of any flag you couldn't reasonably doodle with no artistic talent. All of these proposed flags have patterns that are far too complex for simple doodling, so I hate them all.

I think they could still be doodled. The Union Flag and Stars and Stripes are incredibly complex from a design point of view, that doesn't stop kids drawing them and being recognisable.

Agreed. I had a tough enough time at school drawing the union jack - I feel sorry for any kid that has to draw a fucking fern.

Yes, the benchmark on flag design should be if some dude on 'GAF can doodle it. What we need is another tri-colour or cross.
