Why did Kiwis refuse a new flag?

>>73647655

not gonna lie, I like the bottom left one.

Ngl, I think all of those look pretty, unique and better than the current one.

>>73647655
I like the bottom right. A good flag should be able to be decently drawn by a child.

THEY FUCKING VOTED NOT TO JOIN THE LEAF CLUB AND I HAET THEM FOREVER FOR THIS

Boomers still make up the majority of their population, and the youth don't vote.

Yeah, bottom left could have been one of the coolest national flags around. Unique and yet relevant imagery.

I guess they're just giving up and accepting that people will only ever think of them as Australia lite.

Don't thrust your own American ignorance onto everyone else.

>>73647655
they look awful

>>73648204
He has a point though, their flag is so similar to ours I didn't know the difference til I was about 11 or 12, and even now they're hard to tell apart from a distance. They should go with something unique, and we should too твн.

>>73648249
even just switching the colours around a little would have helped

>Don't thrust your own American ignorance onto everyone else.

One of the reasons the flag change was proposed was because they routinely got confused at international conferences as Australia.

I swear, you brits get so touchy whenever somebody suggests taking your flag out of a canton.

>>73647655
All the bloody Maoris and islanders voted against a new flag because they thought it didn't represent their culture
I wish we had a leaf rather than a cuckstamp
If only whites (exluding christchurch bogan white trash) could vote we would have had a leaf

You should get rid of our 13 Colonial stripes m8.

>>73648401
Why are you so mad itt?
There's literally nothing wrong with America having a subtle reference to the first 13 states on their flag
There's a huge difference between having a cuckstamp taking up a quarter of your flag then having a subtle reference to your colonial past

Bottom spiral one is the only one that would avoid the stigma of a fucking leaf. I do like black/white as flag colors though.

They should've had 20 flags to choose from, vote it down to 10 then 5 then 1. Only thing is that it'd be a pain to setup with all the letters and polls. Hopefully when we do the next referendum in 8+ years it's more online based.

>>73649305
It will probably never change because Maoris won't be satisfied until every single symbol and colour on the flag is based on Maori culture

>>73649434
Give it 10 years and Maori culture probably would've died down quite a bit with immigration. You'd just have to pander to the Chinese a bit more.

A FUCKING FERN

>>73647655
Because too many men died fighting for that flag in the world wars.

>>73649822
They don't have to go anywhere but with more cultures integrating into NZ as part of our nationwide culture, they'll fade into the back.
