Have your say One of the striking things of New Zealand is that regions do not have official flags. I designed a few for an earlier exhibition, but no many people took onto give a vote. Perhaps it works better with sporty people. I have created a survey at SurveyMonkey.com which allows you to vote for a flag for the different regions of New Zealand. The aim is to represent regions, not Rugby Union Clubs…but the bias is probably obvious. I have used the Tino Rangatiratanga flag's design and colours as the basis for regional flags. Because distinctive colours are not enough as for covering all regions, I have allocated the black pattern to the North Island and the red pattern to the South Island. (The Chatham Islands could use the red pattern or could have its own pattern based on either green or yellow.) Some colours are not present either because they wouldn't make a tricolor flag (namely black, white and red) or because they are not distinctive enough. In the survey you can allocate a particular colour to a region. The most popular colour, together with its corresponding pattern, will thus become the Aotearoatanga flag for that region. If you want to vote, click here to access the survey! Here is a provisional allocation of flags to regions according to a prototypical colour of the main Rugby Union of that region (o a neighbouring colour, in order to avoid repetition!). This allocation is by no means final, and it only represents a suggestion. Therefore, your vote still counts.
