New flag for NZ?

[MSTRS]

Seems the debate is re-opened.....
Do we have the numbers to get this through?

[bugjuice]

hell yeah!!!
Team KB - Fuck Yeah!!!!

[placidfemme]

*would vote for that flag*

[Coyote]

You're being racist, there's no koru on it

[Lou Girardin]

A new NZ flag. Great, looks much better than those ones with ferns and shit all over them.
It'll raise biker awareness too.

[Waylander]

Reverse the colours. Yellow on black.

Did you have to go to Gisborne for the license or can they send it by bush telegraph?

As for the flag - great idea. I have been thinking of trying to make a biggish one like that to fly at rallies so that KBers can meet up. Especially when the weather is cool, showing the T-shirt can lead to frostbite.

Funny story, 3 large maoris turned up at my hotel (lol) and gave it to me, also demanded 3k rent a week ...

Thats a great idea... Would be col if you could make little flags too for KB members to buy and play with or put on display...

Never really liked any of the suggested designs for a "new" NZ flag...until I saw this one...

Nah. This is "jokes and 'umour." Not "rant 'n rave..."

[Urano]

oh well.... nice to know.... i haven't bought the ticket yet... maybe i can still learn a little chinese...

[YellowDog]

It's the only way you won't get executed after the revolution.

[EJK]

Just have a "No vacancy" neon light on.

[mashman]

"The poll also showed only two per cent of voters identify changing the flag as a pressing issue." (http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/top-stories/21698642/most-voters-dont-want-to-change-the-flag/#)... Would they be in marketing and advertising dyareckon?

Maybe I shoulda taken Slofox's thread on there being a new flag from 2010 (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/121489-New-flag-for-NZ?highlight=flag)... More patriotic than this one.

To be honest, I think we should go with something that reflects the people more. A white chicken on a white background... just like this

http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/white-flag-Small.jpg

Although they should give it a nice mahogany pole to class it up and really bring out the white.

Please move to R&R or even PD... my apologies.

[SMOKEU]

The flag should be changed to a pig covered in pieces of bacon. That should help keep the snackbarists out.

Plenty of room on Stewart Island...<_<

or just a bit south of it...:yes:

You're being racist, there's no koru on it

Naaa bro .. being racist would be to appropriate the koru without permission ... then we'd have to burn your flag .. :bleh: :yes:

[Akzle]

thez some funny coons up here. Murray flag (red and black with white koru) with nz ensign flown upside down underneath.

No federated tribes flag tho...hm.

[ZeroIndex]

I saw this design a while ago... I must admit, I'm a fan of this and would be quite happy to have this replace the current one.

[The Reibz]

no offence, but the silver fern is strictly a sporting symbol only. IMO.
There is no need for it to be on a NZNF as not all NZ'ers can identify it. I could not see that shit flying from a NZ warship although we did fly the all blacks flag from our ship during the RWC.

After 2 world wars being fought under the current flag I personally think it need not be changed.

[ZeroIndex]

as with the flag I posted, it isn't simply a silver fern... blue background changed to black, to represent our countries sporting background... which even though I'm not into sports (apart from MotoGP), the southern cross... which is on our current flag... and the silver fern, to replace the union jack. Also, why do we still pay homage to the British Empire / Queen? ...we should find a new anthem too

[Akzle]

hae guyz, this shits so boring lol and totz duznt matter.
havnt u herd abt k8y perryz bewbs?
Boobies for flag! Yay nz!

[ZeroIndex]

Men look at boobs for the same reason a little kid looks at puppies in a cage... we just want to set them free and play with them.

"World wide" that represents (to the majority) a white feather (representing cowardise) and four Russian red stars on black pirate background! :rolleyes:

How many of the 4 million New Zealanders know about the silver fern and the Southern Cross? :confused:

Peace and doves and stuf.

As for poiiiirrates! I vote yaaaarrgh!

[Robbo]

The old flag debate again..decisions, decisions..:laugh:

[Yamahardman]

i think the current one is great.

it sums nz up, we're part of the commonwealth, the southern cross can be seen from here, and we're two islands situated in an ocean.
As for the union jack, it stays, because remember, we are all subjects of her majesty, the queen, Elizabeth the second.

God save the queen.

You should head down south for a night out with the Ingham sisters.

That'd change your mind.

I was thinking Chinese red stars...



Have to agree with Zero. The anthem HAS to go! Sounds like it was written by a manic depressive in a mental institution.

Plus it's inappropriate in a secular society that refuses to teach anything religious in state schools...."God defend our free land" ?? Ya wot ???

Well, it's not like we have any armed forces to defend us...

[mstriumph]

I like the current one ... except it's too like Australia's ...
a subtle change, perhaps, like silver ferns in the stars instead of red stars?
Heck, unless something universally-acclaimed comes along, let's leave it as it is?

I've got it. Send the SAS over to change theirs. Just yell out, hey that baby just got taken by a dingo, then run up the new flag while they are preoccupied...

[Katman]

For an ex-serviceman you surprise me.

How many NZ serviceman graves do you think there are?

The current NZ flag has been in existence much longer than has been the Australian one ... what does that tell you! ... Pavlova anyone? :blip:

Not so sure about your taste in women there Swoop but i guess if that's your thing then here's one that will probably interest you.

No need to thank me.

Cheers :niceone:

True, should start november 5th just as they're getting ready for another round of TPP nonsense. Makes ya wonder if the changing of the flag is to signify a change of ownership, or at least a new majority shareholder in nz inc :shifty:.

Personally I want to see a referendum on it. Our flag fails on plenty of the basic 'how to design a good flag' elements. I've yet to see a convincing argument for why it's actually a good flag....

Often people cite its 'history', people that fought under it, etc. Fought under what, exactly? A symbol of repression of Maori. As soon as the Treaty was signed, the United Tribes flag was ditched and replaced by the Union Flag.

The Treaty of Waitangi was a pretty colossal fuckup by all accounts, but its changing the flag was somehow a great move despite the flag now looking similar to 20 others out there?

To me, as long as the current flag's in place we have 0% chance of actually forming a cohesive nation.

We could learn a lot from Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Canadian_Flag_Debate), although we're about fifty years tardy (so far).

:killingme. That'll take more than a flag change, but love the optimism. Given that this flag thing is gonna cost a feckload of cash, couldn't we buy some technology for schools instead or summink? Maybe vote on the flag in a few years once the economy is humming like a well oiled cohesive machine :shifty:. Maybe we could have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum on the flag or not lol.

It's the right shape and it has stars on it, what more do you want? What is a referendum going to prove when you have your own personal opinion anyway?

It's only a flag, I couldn't give a shit, but the black one with a white feather is a bit dodgy isn't it? You might as well pick an endangered species as your national symbol while you are at it.
