Follow-up Comment #2, bug #18724 (project freeciv): hmmm, I'm not too sure. Although it's true that the current flag is only the flag of the modern Friesland/Fryslân province, it is based on old Frisian symbolism. Blue and white have been the Frisian colors since the Middle Ages and the Water Lily leafs are a traditional Frisian symbol too. In fact the seven leafs refer to the 'Seven Frisian Sealands', which is a Medieval term for Greater Frisia, not just the province. (The Ommelanden of Groningen, in the Middle Ages part of Greater Frisia but since defrisianised, still use a similar flag.)
The flag of the Interfrisian Council looks a bit too 'bureaucratic' to me, and frankly I've never seen it before (the provincial flag on the other hand is omnipresent in Friesland). If you really prefer a flag that represents Greater Frisia rather than just the province I suggest we use the Pan-Frisian flag of the Groep fan Auwerk: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:All_Frisian_flag_Scandinavial_model_.svg That one is a bit better known and (IMO) it also looks a lot nicer than the flag of the Interfrisian Council. Alternatively, we could make separate nations for East and North Frisia. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?18724> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
