Given that the Danish flag preceeds the English one as a national flag, perhaps the English one should be included as a copycat as well?

The English flag is not a Nordic Cross

“…change it a little so it’s not too obvious.”

I mean, at the end of the day it’s just crosses, crosses as symbols of national identity are really old

Hey stranger. Why don’t you try and counter my jestfull comment with serious arguments and then finally ruin the same arguments with a personal insult?

You really got him there

[u/NearbyEquall → u/fat_shadyy]

I know

Dannebrogen may come from knight's hospitaller, which again is just basically Saint George's cross with inverted colours.

[u/Bug_Photographer → u/NearbyEquall]

Of course. It's a totally different thing. No similarity or common roots whatsoever.

Are you a professional escalator of conflicts or are you just a very good amateur?

Chill, buddy.

It's St. George's cross, not a Nordic cross. The same design is on the flags of Georgia (the country) and Barcelona.

okay okay it was not "copied"

And the first guy to make this thread about "The Nordic Cross" was the guy who got pissed at me. The original post jokes about the similarity - but talk about visual similarity and in no way restrict this to be about Nordic Cross flags.

The English flag is a nordic cross, yes.

[u/NearbyEquall → u/LewdGamerAnonymous]

No, it's a saint George cross

[u/LewdGamerAnonymous → u/NearbyEquall]

Which was created AFTER the nordic cross had already existed for a century.
