There might be a trade mark infringement with a certain flyspray brand with that "design".

That's what I saw when I first looked at it.

It would be very flexible, think how easy it would be to update it if KDC became PM!

I think 11 would be better if the blue and black were reversed. I don't really like the red in the Kyle Lockwood flag makes it look like a Labour flag.

Jesus, that sucks

edit: oh, and I prefer #11 in the Herald's list above, although I'm not entirely convinced that this is a pressing issue for the country right now.

I really like #9, anything with the silver fern can fuck right off in my opinion - but agree that the entire thing is a great big sideshow.

Far more important issues to worry about than the flag. The money being spent on all this could be diverted to somewhere it would actually do some good.

I just want this to be done and dusted so we can all get back to using a silver fern on a black background like we've always done and always will.

I would prefer that either the colours are swapped or it was all black.

But I also agree with a comment I have heard that the Southern Cross is not a NZ thing. The whole southern hemisphere sees it.

Two things I don't want on a new flag:

1. Black.
2. Fern.

Yeah, I'm not sure yet. Will there be a "I would like to change the flags but not to these designs" option.

I'm actually a fan of #11. I could get behind the fern with the black corner. The red corner is nice and fits traditional colours, but the black corner adds a little something kiwi to it. It suits.

Failing that, laserbeam kiwi.

That's what it comes down to. The majority of people do want a change but will they still want a new flag if they don't like any of the options.

As Ab said anything is better than the old one, plus we're not gonna get another chance to change it, so I'll guess I'll go for the most popular one (#11). .

The main argument is that because it looks too much like Australia and so isn't recognisable on the world stage. I also don't like it because I find it too colonial and not multicultural.

I dont believe that. If it fails (not by a landslide), then it will likely come up again in the next 10 years.
But if it passes and we get a new flag, it will not change for a very long time.

I'd take any of them except that swirly thing.

Incidentally, I share an office with an Aussie, so we called it the Colonial Embassy, moved in a couch and a beer fridge, and have cricket on all day. When it came to putting up flags, neither of us stuck with the traditional ones, cos fuck those flags.
