New Red Ensign for New Zealand

Published:

Description

As I stated in some other comments,postings& debates :

the current proposals for a new New Zealand Flag do not rock me!
Okay, I´m not a Kiwi ,so it´s de facto not my business, which design will ''make the race'' - but that won´t hinder me to have my thoughts, sketches & expressing both, as we live in a free world :D

The most designs suggested look like advertising banners - and maybe our societies turn more modern, which I don´t disfavour, but a National Flag is not really an advertising banner!

The only design, that ever rocked me, was those Silver Fern - though I´ve seen some different versions, which all would do fine :)

But unless you love sailing competions or rugby , most outsiders will not have seen this Flag (yet).....

In case ,that the Union Jack& the British based Flags are really unbearable for Kiwis : why not combine the old and new??

In this approach, I placed the Silver Fern into the upper quarter, where usually the Union Jack would be, while I kept the ground of the Red Ensign - Red is much loved by the Maori Culture - and the Cross of the South (which you can interprete in several ways, depending on your favours., but it doesn´t hurt anyone except hardcore Atheists maybe)

glad to see your reactions :) 

Well ,we would call it a ''smoke grenade'' somehow.....

Well, a part of the Kiwis actually disfavours the Commonwealth and the UK + Monarchy, another part is loyal ....and most simply don´t care alot, as I got ''informed'' by my own relatives over there ^^

madgerman :  not bad, though the Kiwis would almost call it offense , as the kiwi is usually displayed on black background
