British Flags That are Better Than The Union Jack: a thread for #FlagShaggers

Starting with the champ, the final boss of flags

WALES

Red Dragon on a field of green. Nothing comes close to how cool this flag is. Why? Motherfudging dragon pal. That’s why!

10/10 perfect #flag Image
Coming in at a close second it’s the big yin, the Saltire, ol’ Billy Blue Cross. The Scottish Flag

It’s big it’s bold, it’s stylish yet simple. Like the Scots it’s blue because it’s cold and it’s white because they’re pale because it’s cold. Classic

9/10 Image
Oh did you think we were done with Scotland? No! Number three best British flag: The Royal Banner Of Scotland

Just look at this beast. Gold. Red. Lion with blue claws! This flag is sassy and she knows it. She’s so fierce it would win season one of Ru Paul’s Flag Race. Love it A+ Image
Shock entry at #4: The Isle of Man

Three legs in a circle. Ok Isle of Man, I don’t know what kinky shit you get up to but I want in

I don’t care what you say: This. Flag. Fucks.

The flag equivalent of throwing your keys in a bowl at a party

Score: yes it does Image
Strong showing in the top ten for the Isles as we get another beauty in: The Isle of Skye

More than just a flag it’s an optical illusion. While most flags are happy with 2 dimensions this flag introduces you to its extra D

Great colour combo and a Viking long boat *chefs kiss* Image
Surprise entry at #6 by the 1606 Scottish Union Flag. This takes a fresh twist on the Union Jack and in doing so puts that ugly bitch right in the bin

Why we don’t still use this is beyond me

7/10 all flag no nonsense Image
The #7 spot is the oldest flag in this list but just shows how far we have fallen since 1400

The Golden Dragon banner of Owain Glyndŵr

This is some pure GoT shit right here. In fact if I could be bothered to retype this list this puppy would go to number one

5/7 perfect score Image
#8 is a controversial choice:

The Ulster Flag

The St George’s Cross is a dull flag, only looks good on a Templar Knight, but you jazz that sucker up with a star, a red hand and a crown and suddenly that flag is ReAdy to P. A. R. T. Y.

Score 19/21 Image
Joint 8th is another take on ol’ Georgies Cross: The Flag of Sark

Like the Ulster it knows to just add some cool shit and what’s cooler than two lions... well a dragon, that’s why it’s lost some places in the table, but still a damn fine effort of a flag

B- Image
You want to know who’s got a better flag than the Union Jack? At #9 it’s only the Anglican motherfudging Church!

Have a gander at this stunner. Drink it in like Holy Communion. This flag don’t rest on the 7th day, it jumps up, snorts another line and tells you to keep on dancing Image
Finally in the 10 spot we have: the Flag of Shropshire

Oh what’s that Shropshire? You want THREE leopards on your flag? Are they native to Shropshire? Not in any way shape or form? Then you have those leopards you mad bastards and my respect as well

1 leopard = 2 points 6/10 Image
HONOURABLE MENTIONS

Other British Flags that are better than the Union Jack:

Essex (3 Arabian swords)
Buckinghamshire (angry swan)
Wessex (more dragon goodness)
St John’s Ambulance (looks like some bad ass pirate shit) ImageImageImageImage
DISHONORABLE MENTION

The only British Flag worse than the Union Jack:

Isle of Wight

Look at this abomination of a flag. Just awful. Tepid colours and shitty geometric design, it seems to depict Pac-Man drowning himself

And who can blame him

Awful

-1,000,000/10 burn it Image
I feel like I owe a dedication of this thread to both @ImLeeKyle and @romanmars for flag related reasons
