Silver fern on black has been the flag Kiwis use for ever though. It's our unofficial flag already, can't see why it isn't under consideration for official recognition. And whatever flag wins this shit-ass contest, everyone's going to keep on using the silver fern anyway.

Good enough for war graves of Kiwi ANZACs, good enough for me.

Their copyright/trademark is just of their particular depiction of the fern?
Not of the fern in general?

Here are some good uses of the fern motif which don't involve slapping down a commercial logo in a centre of a rectangle:
They're actually part of an overall design and have something of a reverent, sovereign, even flaggy feel to them. Before some mouthbreather thinks I'm saying that a coat of arms style design be used for a flag: I'm not. I saying there are other ways of using the fern that don't involve grabbing a symbol that appears as a commercial trademark on a variety of products and then pulling that up a flag pole. We can do better.

Here's my proposal for getting around the fern copyright. The dead fish represents, oh I don't know, our diminishing marine resources or something.

Funny. After they just spammed it on prime & 3news back to back, I was thinking how adorable it was that most media types in nz have such a dismal social media following, that mediaworks decided to get that excited and zoom in on "8,425" supposed supporters for the red peak flag.
But shit, sounds like it is a big enough loop and good enough story to hit and excite the expats. |

Red Peak is better than the other designs. It's still pretty shit though.

Let's face it. The current flag is for granddads but we're not going to agree on anything else.

It might be as simple as support for the flag National didn't support.

Besides, if they got their way then we'd have 5 shitty flag alternatives to choose from instead of 4. Big whoop.

From my POV, I'm happy enough with the good old Blue Ensign. This probably makes me horribly unhip (as if I wasn't anyway), but the alternatives, including Red Peak, are not any better. So what the fuck, right?

But that doesn't fit with the dominant narrative. Which is to say that when Labour fumbles, it's cause they're fools and when National fumbles it's radical lefties making useless noise.

tbh when you start talking about the "dominant narrative", you've lost. |

If it's about winning and losing then I lost before I even spoke up, that being the nature of dominant values.
That's the luxury of being in the position of power, you get to ignore unwanted voices because there are plenty of voices that align with your values to drown them out. And people tend to align with power.

The red peak flag looks more like the corporate logo of a company who's name starts with A. Surely hipsters aren't really now sitting back going hmmm, yes, I like it because it has deep meaning, man, hmmm.
