What about this historical shield?

 

[Leprechaun]

Hmmm

It is downloadable at my site, but it's still 256 colors, I will edit it as soon as possible.

BTW the current version looks O.K. as well..

 

[Leprechaun]

Hmmm

The new one will look like this...

But I have to test it first....

Uploaded the hypothetical shield/flag set in which England won the HYW (it's the last file on the page.)

Fate, your Smolensk and Poland shields are very cool. Who's shield wouldn't be cool if they had a cannon on it?

 

[unmerged(9302)]

Sweden/Norway and Sweden/Finland Union Jack

Here is the real union jack of Sweden and Norway.

How about the same type of design for Sweden-Finland?

 

[unmerged(5206)]

A few days back I got involved with the a EEP Italy thread, and we started discussion on a hypothetical flag/shield for an Italian Kingdom for the pre 1800s. This discussion lead me to create a shield which is a sort of union of various symbols of Italian states such as Milan's serpent, Venice's lion, Tuscany's dotted necklace, etc. This seems like a more 'historical' flag than the red, white, and green tricolor for an Italian Kingdom from 1400-1800.

might as well toss in a cross of st. george, that's a prominent feature on a lot of italian flags.

also, putting yellow on white is a heraldic no-no

 

[unmerged(5206)]

St. George is the center cross, but you can't really see it well.

Is light orange on white against the rules of heraldy as well?

I guess I'll change the dots on the left to red, and the dots on the right to white, and then maybe the Genoa dark red for the middle dot.

 

[Mad King James]

well the rules of heraldry advise against combining metals and most shades of orange and yellow are 'gold' and most shades of white are 'silver'. The flag of the Kingdom of Jerusalem for instance goes against most heraldic rules

The reason being is at a distance you can't tell what the hell is on the flag

And the Papal States as well?

 

[Mad King James]

the old papal banner followed the rules of heraldry almost to the letter. The keys are placed in the center, and the keys use one of the two metals, against a red background.

When the new papal banner was released, a lot of heraldry experts decried it as a horror

 

[Vulture]

Oi indeed. Birger has the old Papal arms on his site btw
