Flag Debate that costs millions

Hello everybody reading this. Today's blog post is about what four flags should go against the current New Zealand Flag. These four flags are the four I have chosen to go against the current flag but I still want the original flag. This is because it's the 100th anniversary of World War 1 and Gallipoli and all the Soldiers fought and died under this flag. Also there is History behind it. I think you would have to be blind to think its the Australian Flag. Also because it is costing $26 million which is a disgrace.

This flag is called the Black Jack I chose this flag because it is sort of like the original flag but has a bit of  Maori design on the Union  Jack. I also like it because it's not too plain but not too complicated and busy. This is why it is my favourite that made the Top 40.The man who designed this was Mike Davison which was the only one of His designs that made the Top 40 ideas.

This is my second favourite flag because it has some of the original colours like white, blue and red. Also because it has the original Southern Cross with the white outline and red inside which I like a bit better than only the white that the Black Jack has. I also like how the Fern is white not a different colour but I wouldn't mind silver as the colour of the fern. Also because It splits up the red and blue. The man who designed this flag was Kyle Lockwood who designed  the next flag I'm going to talk about also a two other flags that got into the top 40 which one just had a black background and black and blue.

  

This is another flag designed by Kyle Lockwood which I like quite a bit because it is similar to the one I just talked about. Some information I gathered about these two flags were that the red stands for the blood lost at Turkey and France in World War 1 and the bits coming off the fern stalk symbolises the ethnic diversity in New Zealand. I like this flag because of the meanings in it and also the black because every New Zealand sports team has at least one bit of black on their uniform.

  

This is an interesting flag because it has a Southern cross with a white outline and a red inside also has a bit of black and green which are some fine colours. The Koru is alright I wouldn't brag about but then I wouldn't say its bad because it makes it look like the main point and picture of the flag is the Koru. But I think it would be fine as our national flag because its much better than any other entries. This flag was design by Dominic Carroll and this is called Moving Forward.
