Johnnie,

Yes, that was another one that I had put together and experimented with. I think this is what you are asking for:

Indeed this is also good. My main criticism of the shield is that there is little to differentiate the shield of the traditional Ulster flag from the 6 counties of Northern Ireland. The star/hexagon have a nice 6 sides for 6 counties - hexagon also can be a causeway stone.

This is what I mean by something like a design that could be less controversial. Replace the yellow in the shield with white to keep the Protestants happy!

Couldn't find the designer for this one. Link above

A distinct flag to represent NI at sporting events would be better than using the pre-1972 NI flag that was used by the NI team at the Commonwealth games in Delhi this year (2010). Admittedly no one paid these games much attention!

Or more pointedly for the NI Football team which presumably has both Protestant and Catholic players these days. The St Patrick's cross design is in use with the PSNI I notice, so the designer is onto something.

Just getting the colours or particular design of the Ulster hand not to offend anyone would seem to be the problem. I think a simple shield with the Ulster hand (as on the yellow and red province of Ulster flag) would keep Catholics happier. IMO it would be better than the pointed version that is/was on the pre-1972 flag. Keep the colours simple - red and white though.

All the points you have mentioned here are really necessary for a new student in the university. After reading your blog, I am now missing my college life.

Nobody seems to have a problem the State of California calling itself "California" since 1849. Much of California remains in Mexico. Mexico's California is legitimately and legally "California". Moreover, the Irish Republic calls itself "Ireland" when it only consists of 26 of the original, historical 32 counties! Please, demonstrate an informed historical perspective.

Robin Livingstone can kiss it. Can politics be kept out of football? Yes. Was there really a need for some ROI supporters to bring Palestinian flags to their game against Israel 04-06-05? No.
