<p>black and blue Lockwood.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>easy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>far and away the best option.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've given reasons previously.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>red peak is bland and completely non descript</p> -
<p>Speaking as an outsider, and realising that I have no relevance in this at all, what I will say is that all the new options look to be compromises (whoever it was that posted the Homer Car earlier in the thread was spot on). There is nothing there to me there shouts out This Is New Zealand. I include Red Peak in this. The old saying that if a committee sat dow to design a horse you'd end up with a camel springs to mind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From what I've read on this thread (and I have to admit, all my research is from this thread), the process does seem a little arse about face and is likely to result in maintaining the status quo whilst costing a shed load of money.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Opportunity. Wasted.</p> -
<p>Thanks for your last post Winger.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seriously, looking at tit has firmed up my position.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not trying to be clever - I like red peak the least of all 5.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and surprisingly I now think I would take any of the other 4 (with all their many faults) over the current flag.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So what about a name change then eh?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aotearoa over a misspelt dutch province </p> -

<p> If NZ ever votes on this I would vote for Aotearoa</p> -
<p>sounds more like a Pacific Island name to me!</p>

<p>I reckon Iran fucked up.... they should be called Persia.</p>

<p>Prince of Iran just doesn't quite sound the same does it!</p>

<p>Agree with this. The name Aotearoa is VG.</p>

<p>Almost the perfect TSF post, short, no research, a link that may or may not be relevant, off topic in off topic, BUT no reference to titties for the 100% score</p> -

<p>My Red Peak flag finally turned up. I had to cancel the NZ purchase and buy from MrFlag in the UK. Quality was not great but still. Flag still looks fantastic though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But turned up too late for the game I went to</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I didn't really see that many flags at the game. A few but also one Maori flag. But two people in front of me had the fern flag and NZ flag and took a photo side by side. The black fern looked good. NZ flag a bit shit I felt</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's an article re someone who does not like Red Peak. :knuppel:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She calls red peak boring and then they include that picture.</p>

<p>Stacey Kirk: It's the worst flag of the five, but Red Peak's inclusion is the right one<br>
I struggle to understand the popularity of Red Peak.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OPINION: Red Peak is a terrible flag.</p>
<p>If New Zealand wanted to pick the most boring flag then it would choose Red Peak.</p>

Hang on to that flag winger, it could be a collectors item in a few years time.<br>
Like when they print upside stamps -
