The New Zealand Flag Should Change


Have you heard the debate about changing the flag? Well, this is my opinion, the New Zealand flag should definitely change.

One reason is because the flag we have now doesn’t have much heritage. Its colours aren’t really special to us. Most of our sports teams have names like the Silver ferns or the All Blacks. They have names relating to the colours black, white and silver or have something to do with a fern. Our flag now doesn’t show anything to do with that.

Also there’s nothing on the flag that shows maori culture. The maori flag colours are red, black and white, so our flag should have a maori pattern with those colours.

As well as have a bit of maori culture the flag should be a bit more interesting. The flag we have now is boring, the only colours are red, blue and white. The background is a plain blue. Its not colourful. The new flag should have at least two colours for the background. The things like the stars should be a little bit more interesting,  like being more colourful.

Anyway the flag now looks to much like the Australian flag, I get mixed up with the two flags. The only difference is that the Australian flag has 6 stars and the stars they have are white.

That is why we should definitely change the New Zealand flag.

  4. I oppose. Why do we need to make the flag a lot different to Australia's? They are the closest country to us. Plus, a flag that is too colourful would make it like we don't fit in with the world.

    BTW This is just a few thoughts I have got from reading this.

  7. Hey Lizzy, Nice work and what I think is that they should not change the flag because it'll make it look like Australian's flag and I kind of don't like it.. And also just on question.. Why do you want New Zealand's flag to have some Maori patterns on it? Great work though... Keep it up!
