The Welsh flag...what the heck

This is the Isle Of Man flag

Their motto is

(Isle Of Man is an island located between Britain and Ireland)

Flag of Sicily puts their own even more bizarre twist on it.

I remember traveling through Central America, leaving Panama and I wanted to get to Colombia. The Darién gap was closed, although there are (unofficial) ways through I couldn't find anyone to take me, so I hitched a ride by boat delivering goods to the Kuna (San Blas) Islands.
Never heard of them? Neither had I.
As we approached the first thing I saw was their flag. I was like what is going on ...who lives here?:wow:

Of course I later learned it was just a local symbol and reversed (also common in India), but man that was a major WTF moment.

You ever notice that the Welsh flag looks like it was designed by a kid in an Iron Maiden t-shirt who was bored during math class?

Hey! You just described me in high scool...:woot:
 
People making posts in here like its the first time they've ever set eyes on the Welsh flag.
 
Quite often I see stickers of the Welsh Flag on car windows so ex pat Welsh in Oz wanting to display their heritage pride I guess.

The original poster is banned (prolly since long ago), and I don't really care for welsh flags. But being a teen in the early 80s who loved NWBHM I have to react. Whats wrong with this:

A thing of beauty designed by Derek Riggs back then. Scared the hell of our parents in those days, but that what it was supposed to do. And yeah, this was when Maiden was underground and kinda progressive musically, and not singing football chorus songs at huge stadiums..

A little OT, but I remember finding this interesting.
Monument heraldry of Valencia.
Illustrations: Above bottom right the Valencia coat of arms going back to 1238
And the evolution of the Valencia Football Club founded 1919 and their logo through the years, based on it.

Not sure what became of this, but apparently upon seeing the design, DC comics decided to sue, as infringement of their Batman logo:

Batman and the power of a cooperate character who has only existed since 1940, who has never even had a consistent logo, going after anything with a bat logo?
