[B]Scotland's referendum on independence is now just over 10 months away, but the question of what might happen to the union jack has been largely overlooked. An association of flag experts, or vexillologists, has created a set of designs it hopes will encourage a discussion.

It's already been [URL="http://www.itv.com/news/update/2013-11-26/no-plans-to-change-union-flag/"]suggested by the College of Arms[/URL] that with the Queen still head of state of an independent Scotland there would be no need for a redesign. But there is still the possibility of renewed debate.

That first one, the Red, Black and Yellow jack looks as the kids say, Hella Dope.
Also sinister as all fuck.

That is the best one, simple and finally gives Wales some representation.
Would be interesting to have a new flag, not something that happens a lot I suppose.

what the fuck is that
really, as a colorblind american I am very curious as to what this horrifying optical illusion symbolizes.

Yeah. The first one makes you want to bust out the jackboots and start marching.
First one looks like a demon took a bloody piss on the Union Jack

It looks like something that would be on a bad punk album cover.

Either of these would be great, IMO.

can we just have this even if scotland stays just make the background blue or something tbh just remove the flag and just fly the emblem?? thanks
First one is too german.
It's gonna be interesting, seeing as a few other places still use the Union Jack and would have to change too.

Fair enough, but that also applies to Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

im really digging this one
I should start a flag manufacturing company, I'll be rich!
It should just be an image of bagpipes with cool flames around it.
A new flag would disorient me so much

Jesus fuck this is the most ugly flag I have ever seen in my life

Looks more like something for when the netherlands and Belgium somehow join up.

Looks like the mutated child of the Dutch and Belgian flag.
Ninja'd.

It's what the flag would of been if Germany won WW2.
I got a better idea:

Looks way too Scandinavian for the UK.

red hand of ulster on it, that's a no-no
[QUOTE=Aphtonites;43069961]It looks pretty nordic :v:[/QUOTE]
With good reason, this country's practically scandinavian except with a french twist.
(Imagine a viking in a french maid outfit)
Wait I have completely missed this, but is Scotland going to become a seperate country?
I don't like flags with big emblems on them, if an 8 year old can't draw it it's too complicated.
