Doubtful. Neo-nazi's have taken a liking to that flag so now it's tainted.

>>69931063
Poortugal was never not shit though.

I like the green and red, though.

>>69931448
It's true. Good on you guys.

>>69931497
It's African-tier palette.

The best we ever had was D. Afonso Henriques (just those 5 middle shields on a white field).

>>69931542
It would be whitened by chalk in real life too.

>>69931581
I agree with the other American. Current color palette looks like a Christmas tree, I like that. The other flag has a better design altogether though.

>>69930046
Where did Netherlands' association with orange come from? Seems like a pretty unusual colour to represent your culture.

Yes, but the meaning is made up a posteriority, and the colours are from some masonic syndicate or whatever.

How about a mix of both?

>>69931766

I'm pretty sure it represents the Royal Family or something along those lines

The House of Orange or someshit.

>>69931766
All Arab countries use the word "Portugal" to mean Orange.

The Netherlands is one of such countries, and they like us so much they put it on their flag.

Just like they love Spain so they put their king in their anthem.

The Oranje(=Orange) family played a huge role in our history, thats why we use the colour.

Why doesnt the Union Jack feature Wales?

>>69932557
Nah

>>69932557
In some ways, yes. That looks like the work-uniform version of your flag, whilst the other is the more formal one.

That one is too symmetric.

>>69932571
Wales is the one taking the picture.

It only represents the three Kingdoms, Wales was a principality.

>>69932571
It's a principality and was annexed to England years ago

>>69932649
Makes sense.

>All Arab countries use the word "Portugal" to mean Orange.

True. And we also use it to identify the fruit as well.
I wonder why.

>>69932288
That Henry chap ho killed his wifes.
From Orange wasn't him?

>>69932712
It meant the fruit before the colour.

We developed the modern sweet orange from China (it used to be sour) and were the first ones to spread it to Europe/Mediterranean markets.

>>69931448
The Union Jack is so aesthetic that Hawaiians and Basques used it as a model for their own flags, the only Union Jacks in the world that aren't cuckstamps.

William of Orange was the only dutch English king.

They sort of still are, though.

Just like all the tri-colours and nordic crosses.

We're doomed and will be some sort ofTurkey-lite in our lifetimes. Even worse feminism has ruined any chance of a "normal" life.
So I don't think the flag fits us at all anymore.

>>69932923
Nordic crosses (except the Danish original) are cuckstamps, I agree. First generation tricolours like Italy, definitely. But other French-inspired flags like Paraguay and Costa Rica are debatable, in this case they were designed by ouiaboos.

>>69933060

What did he mean by this?

>>69933163
But isn't being a Ouiaboo a form of cuckery?

I think you mean that National Socialists, enhance it. Too bad your "resistance" fags didn't think about the consequences of German defeat.

I always look at this as Monarch's flag vs Nation's flag. Since they're heraldic.
