I get you’re tired of UK redesigns (with Welsh inclusion)…👍 But did you ever see a flag ”for the island of Britain” on here before? (I sure didn’t!🙂)

I just think it’s not pretty tbh. I imagine it flying on a ship and it seems unbalanced. I liked one of the yellow line versions better though.

Don’t mean to be mean : (

It's still repetitive nonsense. It's basically just the original flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain but with green at the bottom.

Yea, I agree the design has been … overdone. Just the concept is new here – a flag for the British island.

Using the tudor bicolour just isn't the way to add wales in though, it'd really go as St David's cross fitting in somehow but everyone insists on the dragon & tudor bicolour as the only option. If we're doing that I think there's way cooler ways to do it like using the Scottish unicorn, English lion/white dragon and the Welsh dragon and making something reminiscent of the royal banner but more visually interesting. We could also incorporate Cornish representation into such a flag

Green is odd. Reminds me of all the people attempting to put Wales into the flag. But still, the best way to include Wales in the union jack is to include the flag of saint David.

(Design not by me but I cannot remember who it was who posted it! I just preach the idea because I agree with it so much!)

Isn't St Alban the patron of GB (more or less)?
