I see the Council have unveiled a new flag for the City of Coventry.
Is it me or does it look very much like the Coventry Building Society has just been plastered around the City? :emoji_confused:

Ironic it comes at a time of the Council potentially playing a part in the football club debacle yet the sky blue panels either side of LG are supposed to recognise the football club (surprised the panels weren’t yellow and black) :emoji_smirk:
Look: One of these six designs is Coventry's new flag
Exactly!The best of a bad bunch (bit like me on here!)
A couple of vintage items from my personal collectionI don't get why we need it. We've already got a coat of arms, why not just use that?

There's a weird obsession with modernising everything. Sometimes people need to sit back and realise the traditional approach that's stood the test of time is the best option.I don't really see why we couldn't use the current coat of arms with civic colours as posted above....or at least have it as an option on the vote?

I think that's meant to be the tip of her hair.What's that appendage hanging down at the front , just touching her thigh top ?
CWR?It wasn’t designed by the council, but by listeners of BBC C&W, so that might tell you something about the standard!
I think it’s *OK* but don’t like it being so similar to the Council branding and the building society.
Would’ve preferred an elephant and castle on a red and green background but that wasn’t a finalist.
Apparently the coat of arms can’t be used for civic purposes other than by the Lord Mayor, or something.
If you want someone to blame, it’s Cornwall ‘s fault for having an old flag which made every county want one too. All of them are very recent, and some better than others.
At least this has SOME meaning to relate it to Cov
They not only had concrete, it was considerably more durable than the modern version!Not sure they had concrete in ancient times to be honest.
where's her right hand?
Coventry Blue > Wasps YellowApparently, the "sky blue" colour down the sides is nothing to do with the football club. It is "Coventry Blue", a colour used during the city's weaving industry days, many years ago. In fact, there is an old saying.... "as true as Coventry Blue!"
Yep, a well known saying for any true Coventrian.Apparently, the "sky blue" colour down the sides is nothing to do with the football club. It is "Coventry Blue", a colour used during the city's weaving industry days, many years ago. In fact, there is an old saying.... "as true as Coventry Blue!"
