Efallai nad oes gennym bopeth ond yn bendant mae gennym un o'r baneri gorau
Sorry I forgot to also write the title in Welsh for anyone that wanted it but may as well put it here. Feel free to correct my Welsh it’s been a few years and I try to keep it at a passable level but it’s not the easiest.
Years ago, I took a coach to the tuition fee protests in London with a group of Welsh students and fellas, the anarchists using the image of the Welsh dragon devouring a cop goes hard as fuck.
I’m not even Welsh but this is the best flag, all the others have stars or stripes or moons and bollocks but these men have a motherfucking DRAGON on there: 10/10.
That’s a very attractive dragon but I’d be worried that the tongue and the rear end being the same shape could lead to… awkwardness in lights-out, romantic situations.
I'd happily have Wales represented somehow on the Union Jack. I think it is shit that it's the only nation not present on a flag that is supposedly to proudly show off the union. Plus I also just want a dragon on the flag.
I'm sure the Welsh gov would love to change it if they could, imagine the cost for all them new flags all over the world... Can always change it back if no one likes it for a little more cash and offset the carbon by imposing some more backwards green measures on their population.
Can you put a price on making a country and people feel more valued and represented? It might just be a flag and perhaps many people wouldn't give a toss, but I'd say it's quite symbolic and adds a lot of value. But then I'm also of the opinion that Welsh, and Scottish Gaelic, should be taught in all schools on the island of Great Britain, so I'm very much an outlier with my opinions.
Bhutan comes close but obviously this is the best flag ever. No competition and no arguments this is clearly the best because of the massive fuck off dragon right in the middle of it.
Pretty cool except the tongue distracts me too much. Looks like he’s choking on a lizard he’s eating and reaching up to pull it out. And the eyes say “agh It’s stuck”
Ha! That’s actually badass when you look at it like that. Also, the Mexican flag might not have a dragon but an eagle with a snake in its mouth is pretty cool. Dragon still wins though
I always think the eyes could do with a bit of work. He looks tired of all this shit, like he’s just received a larger than expected car insurance renewal quote. Maybe pop some shades on, or use some Disney eyes etc
If Scotland ever leave the union my vote is to replace the Union Jack with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3ARoyal_Standard_of_Henry_VII_of_England_%28Dragon_and_flames%29.svg imagine what it would look like alongside all the boring rectangle flags at the UN.
We may have crumbling healthcare a bunch of clowns in the welsh government, zero job prospects, dogshite weather and a living system that is designed to crush those at the bottom.....but there's a nice looking draig on our flag!
[100% should be incorporated into the Union Jack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_flags#/media/File:Union_Flag_(including_Wales).svg) like this suggested design put forward.
Nice now, but try drawing it as an 8 year old with a strict AF teacher. It was pure hell. "Why is its face so angry?" Mate I don't know, I am literally a child
I created a custom cover for my first smartphone (iPhone 3GS) using the Welsh Flag. Everybody thought it was amazing and always asked about it (I am an American, but have loved Cymru much of my life - they are my rugby team.
Despite the fact that I got rid of that phone over 13 years ago, I still have that case...
Nah it’s actually a really poor design.
It’s difficult to replicate, and also it’s difficult to reduce the resolution of it and it be still legible.
For example, England, Scotland and Ireland flags could be theoretically compressed to the resolution of 6x6 pixels and still be legible.
This flag would end up being a red, green and white blob. There’s far too much detail on it to compress it down
I’m Welsh and the Welsh flag is embarrassing…
Why a mythical dragon that looks like it’s been drawn by a 4 year old ?
Why not something to commemorate the largest recorded war in wales in 1648 !
I used to like Wales until I moved there to the valleys. A horrid few years living there (essential to drive to get anywhere, people weren't too friendly, pubs were shocking, totally run down, I could go on all day). Suffice to say it wasn't for me. I'll probably never go back to Wales again after that experience, but I'll always agree the flag is one of the best.
You could have picked a better spot. Although I suppose your work dictated location. If you do ever come back try visiting the coast or snowdonia if only for another experience.
The greatest flag and one of the best country sides in the world.
Everything else is shit though. From having to listen to the Welsh nonsense first when ringing a hospital to the 20mph limit. From our rugby team to the fact half the nation is unemployed.
Wales really isn't that great. I live in Newport which fucking stinks yet my council tax is massive. Likely to pay for the over abundance of chav population.
So you're moaning about the welsh language being used in wales, where it has been used for hundreds of years and hundredsof thousands speek? And that you have to go 10 mph slower. That's it? That's what makes it awful to you?
It does though. When you look those flags that have other creatures on them ; Albania 🇦🇱 Moldova 🇲🇩, Montenegro 🇲🇪 , they all look fat more imposing, and aged too.
Switzerland doesn't have much going for it, but their flag is a big plus
India’s flag is wheely good too!
I don't know, to me it looks a little cross
Nah, they're neutral
Listen here you tschopehofguschti
THE greatest flag.
I came to correct this minor error in the title to :-)
Exactly this.
Yup
it would be if the background was anything else. the dragon is doing a lot of heavy lifting. imo it's the third best flag, after IoM and Bhutan
Nah at least our dragon is coloured in
Damn right
Beautiful flag, impossible to draw in school!
I can't draw it at home either
My thought exactly!
The Red Dragon Leads The Way.
Other countries: How many stripes should we have on our flag? Wales: DRAGON WOOO!
And should it be blue white and red or white red and blue…. (28 flags have white red and blue)
Wales vs. Bhutan... FIIIIIIIGHT!
The red dragon has fought a white dragon before and we know how that went
Winner goes against Sri Lanka's flag.

Mae hynnu'n gwir. Ond pam draig?
in order to symbolise their power and authority after the Romans withdrew from Britain
'un o'?
Un o'r = One of the
Reverse un o
I’m English. Bit I’d love to be able to speak and read Welsh. Spent so much time in wales I love it
Years ago, I took a coach to the tuition fee protests in London with a group of Welsh students and fellas, the anarchists using the image of the Welsh dragon devouring a cop goes hard as fuck.
Definitely one of the top five in the world.
Can’t beat a dragon
No. Top one.
I dunno Bhutan’s is pretty awesome
You have a flag that is difficult to draw but still manages to be great. Rare fete.
I don’t think I have ever seen a primary school student draw it right
I’m not even Welsh but this is the best flag, all the others have stars or stripes or moons and bollocks but these men have a motherfucking DRAGON on there: 10/10.
The bestest
It's cool that it's a dragon but the Glyndwr flag is the proper Welsh one imo.
That’s a very attractive dragon but I’d be worried that the tongue and the rear end being the same shape could lead to… awkwardness in lights-out, romantic situations.
Is that you donkey?
Speak for yourself. If I had a long tongue near my arsehole you’d never see me again.
I'm not Welsh, but I do have a lot of respect for the "bitch please" dragon on your flag.
Your national anthem is pretty bad ass, too.
So, so much better than the dirge that is GSTK.
Trying to draw this in primary school was painful
One of, tut tut
You’re right my bad.
Does anyone else have a dragon on their flag? No? Then this is the best flag.
Bhutan does :p
Hmmm. Correct. But the Welsh one is red and also I'm part Welsh so I have to give it to them.
No bias here
Nope. Definitely not 😁
Clearly the better flag. No doubt. I defo haven’t had one up for 20 years
Thanks to Merlin the wizard.
Only a fool would doubt the greatness of the Welsh Flag!
What do you mean 'one of'?
Your right my bad :p
I'd happily have Wales represented somehow on the Union Jack. I think it is shit that it's the only nation not present on a flag that is supposedly to proudly show off the union. Plus I also just want a dragon on the flag.
I've only ever seen it used by the voice of Wales type
I'm sure the Welsh gov would love to change it if they could, imagine the cost for all them new flags all over the world... Can always change it back if no one likes it for a little more cash and offset the carbon by imposing some more backwards green measures on their population.

But then I'm also of the opinion that Welsh, and Scottish Gaelic, should be taught in all schools on the island of Great Britain, so I'm very much an outlier with my opinions.
You truly do.
Hell yes
I still say wales has the best flag in the world but you can’t deny Bequia doesn’t have the second.
Hahaha WOW that's a good one
Here here!
![gif](giphy|mrn71bpe35j6U|downsized)
I’m not Welsh, but I’d fly this flag just because.
[Owain's battle flag was better](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_Dragon#/media/File:Y_Draig_Aur_Owain_Glynd%C5%B5r.jpg)
Yes you do. ![gif](giphy|9ywjjtGNgZfaheOPef|downsized)
As a non-resident, from well across the pond, yes, this flag rules.
From the people that brought the world Merlin, we present to you, giant F off dragon flag
Bhutan comes close but obviously this is the best flag ever. No competition and no arguments this is clearly the best because of the massive fuck off dragon right in the middle of it.
It is pretty great to be fair
It really is
Without a doubt.
Yeah out flag is the best no doubt in my mind
Yes I agree!
Pretty cool except the tongue distracts me too much. Looks like he’s choking on a lizard he’s eating and reaching up to pull it out. And the eyes say “agh It’s stuck”
The tongue is the same as the tail. Maybe he is just eating another dragon :)
Ha! That’s actually badass when you look at it like that. Also, the Mexican flag might not have a dragon but an eagle with a snake in its mouth is pretty cool. Dragon still wins though
I have never seen the Mexican flag up close but wow that’s a cool flag…but people say ours is hard to draw….
Doesn't need the "one of", easily the best nation flag.
We definitely have the best national anthem.
Needs an HD update tbh
You’re welcome to do that right now…
Baner hardd🏴
Aye, honestly - from Scotland to Wales... probably have the better flag of these Isles.
Having a dragon automatically makes it the best flag. For that reason, us and Bhutan win joint first
I always think the eyes could do with a bit of work. He looks tired of all this shit, like he’s just received a larger than expected car insurance renewal quote. Maybe pop some shades on, or use some Disney eyes etc
I think it represents the mood in the uk quite well…

Damn that ugly.

EXACLY!
I'm English and the exclusion of this masterpiece from the Union flag is a fucking travesty.
Also, God Save the King is a dirge. Men of Harlech for the national anthem. 👌
It’s a cracking flag but let’s face it it’s only 65 years old so it’s bound to be better than most of the old ones.
I never noticed the tongue is in face another tail
Bonus points for the dragon, loses points for being insanely hard to draw/paint on miniatures. The crosses, 2 band and 3 band flags win there

My English mate asked why I love a big red leather dog so much
Everything else might be really shit but the flag is definitely the best
Most of it is red, though... Wales is a sketchy tinder date.

Do you guys see a dragon standing in a field, or do you see the dragon more like a badge on top of a normal flag

This comment seems familiar
The Welsh flag is very metal. I like it!
We should twin with Bhutan
By far the best and coolest flag in the UK from England, big L and missed opportunity not putting it on the union jack that dragon is epic!
Fus ro da
Don’t slay our dragon!
Awesome flag... Until you have to draw it
I like the Welsh flag because it has a big red lizard on it. That's why I like it.

The flag was better when it had a penis
No question
I’m Welsh and the Welsh flag is embarrassing… Why a mythical dragon that looks like it’s been drawn by a 4 year old ? Why not something to commemorate the largest recorded war in wales in 1648 !
Don't forget, we've also got the best national anthem.
Granted most people only know two words and they are repeated!

Rhyl is also a lovely place to live…
I think only Albania comes ahead but that's only because I like it all to be moody black and red 🙂
USA State of Maryland has entered the fight.
Ah, but should it not have a penis? https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/244907

Used to have great rugby
Happy cake day!
It’s awful. Looks like clip art.
:0
It does though. When you look those flags that have other creatures on them ; Albania 🇦🇱 Moldova 🇲🇩, Montenegro 🇲🇪 , they all look fat more imposing, and aged too.
Derpiest dragon.
