A community all about flags! Feel free to post flags you like (or dislike), flag designs of your own, flag-related news, or anything else of the sort. ### Rules **Be civil.** As per kbin.social's terms of service, be respectful to others. Harassment, racism, homophobia, etc. will not be tolerated. **Don't plagiarize.** If you post someone else's flag design, make sure to clearly credit the original creator so that it doesn't appear to be your own. This obviously doesn't include established flags (i.e., you don't need to worry about crediting the designer of the U.S. flag). **Stay on topic.** Please only post about flags. You can post flag designs, flag collections, flag news, flag discussions, or whatever else, but it needs to be at least somewhat related to flags.

It's because there are two saltires there. There's the white one with a blue background for Scotland, and a red one with a white background for Northern Ireland (originally for all of Ireland). Rather than splitting the field up in to segments of blue and white to accommodate both saltires, the Irish one got a quite border instead, just like the English cross has.

Nah mate, get St David's cross on there. Alternate it with the St George's one, just like the St Andrew's and St Patrick's ones currently are. Keep the theme going.
