sc49erfan15 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I attended the Gold Cup games in Charlotte yesterday (Canada-Cuba and Martinique-Mexico) and noticed that Martinique was introduced with a new flag - some graphics used this new flag, while some used the blue one with four snakes. I remembered this today and checked it out - apparently a new flag was introduced last month: New: Old: A new flag and hymn* to be used for "sports, cultural, and international events" according to this link. This was apparently done, in part, due to the association of the "snake flag" with the Atlantic slave trade and colonialism. FWIW, I think the "snake flag" looks better but understand the reasoning behind the change. *Interestingly, "La Marseillaise" was still played during the anthems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I think the Martinique flag just goes half a step too far; I think it's a little busy with the middle circle and the stars switching colors. I'd do a green circle around the blue conch, and then blue stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As as far as cult flags go, it’s better than the Branch Davidian one. The sperm eel (or serpent/snake) really nails it.

The_Admiral Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I always liked the colonial flag better (and the idea of Hong Kong not belonging to China). The black version of the flag is a nice message. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 When I was in the Milwaukee area last year, I went shopping at a Pick 'N Save and came upon this... The brewing company is using the city flag for one of their beers. Thought it was a cool find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Isn't it also cool how Wisconsin doesn't trifle with arcane liquor laws and just loads up the grocery stores with alcohol? People from other parts of the country are surprised sometimes, but they shouldn't be, because, well, Wisconsin. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 When I moved out to San Diego, I went to the grocery store the first night I was here. When I saw the rack of craft beer bombers, I thought to myself that I now live in a civilized place. 1 Quote Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Also Washington. A fond memory from college was the LMU band splitting up and sprinting through downtown Spokane getting our supply of booze and mixers before the state-run liquor stores closed down at 7:30 PM (and the underage guy hiding behind my tall frame so he wouldn't be carded as part of our group). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Carolina... is relaxed... about alcohol laws? It's been within the decade that alcohol sales were legal in restaurants on Sunday, at least in the county I lived in. I still don't think it's possible anywhere in the state to buy hard liquor (and only available at liquor stores) on Sunday, and it varies county-to-county and/or city-to-city whether beer and wine are available on Sunday. Unless you work in Charleston (or possibly Columbia) where things are a little more relaxed, I wholeheartedly disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
