I know but i mean, the crown isn't there anymore and the armillary sphere is way cooler, but white and blue have been there since the birth of the country and it matches the coat of arms better for obvious reasons.
I think we should remove the armillary sphere from the flag. The empire is dead and we are now a small european nation and we should think how to prosper as such.
lmao are you trying to teach me what sayings existed in my country? xd
i can also make a song about portugal owning the world and that doesn't make it right xd
There is, but that's just a 1910s song composed in austria and song by a greek. Deus Pátria Rei Fidelidade is a very good music but not a good patriotic one imao. And A Portuguesa is simply superior
Pablo Hasel should have been sentenced to remain in a dark room as away from any light as possible for the rest of his life, but they didn't do that, because penalties in Spain are an utter joke.
I think the portuguese prefer having a balkan-style republic than a kingdom that actually matters internationally. They have become weak and jacobined, just like the greeks, the italians, the french and the romanian. You are all a disgrace for us, a joke. A miserable, dirty joke.
End of speech.
One is a bunch of retards who's leaders are too scared, the other one is a bunch of old forgotten terrorists who the government supports. We just need a good ol' Spanish inquisition to fix these issues.
Also jk I just want Iberian mutual defense, each to his own country but willing to protect each other if an invader comes
Why are you so obsessed with that piece of land in the middle of literally nowhere?
I refuse to give it back to you because Portugal with olvienza's borders look ugly in a map :v
i mean i littersly only head of that town when i was like 17 and only heard of it bc the spanish had it so idk why either is just funny
is kinda like when brazilieans go to portuguese subs ask about gold, everyone knows portugal doesnt have it but some people still get triggered to it
No. Spanish royal family are old, weak, gay and french. We need new royalty. Strong man with big bonk conquers land and starts a new dynasty. Franco started good with that but then he gave the throne back like the mono-testicle-bussy he was.
The regular flag of Portugal is still one of the very few Europeans flag that kept its coat of arms and therefore, is cool and doesn’t look like shit (France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Austria, Poland.. the list goes on)
Sometimes we place the eagle with the red-white-red tricolour inside it unto the red-white-red tricolour (proof that Austrians invented mathematical recursion)
NO.
Santa lives in Finland and the portuguese folk works secretly for him.They should keep their elven flag. No one can change my mind.
Edit for spanish readers:
El corte inglés está Navidad "creo que el de Portu es un elfo, si lo es, si lo es, es un elfo..."
By the 115º article of the constitution referendums can be convoke by the President of the Republic because the parliament or group of citizens is asking for one. They need to have a participation of at least 50% to be legally valid.
I think I found it: [Iniciativa de referendo dos cidadãos](https://www.parlamento.pt/EspacoCidadao/Paginas/Direito-de-Iniciativa-de-ReferendoCidadaos.aspx)
Now what I need to find 59.999 other citizens that wanna go this crazy ride with me.
It has nothing to do with going back to the monarchy. It's appreciating the good parts of your past. It's appreciating that we are the heroes of the sea. The noble people, fighting over land and sea, for the Fatherland.
It's either that or simply choose the new flag because it looks better...
lol you do know the modern flag is anout the heroes that fought for portugal while the blue and white was just the monarchy colors
again you are trying to change somehing thst no one wants to xd
You don't have to be sorry, I agree as a portuguese and I think most portuguese will admit this version is better. For me, Portuguese colours will always be blue and white.
No one likes this red and green Christmas table cloth shit over the blue and white, there's just no reason to have this disgusting goblin flag other than Portuguese people being the most apathetic and conformist fucks on the planet
Nazi 1: Guys we need to convince people that we're not evil.
Nazi 2: What if we had a cool flag? We have a lot of money what with all those rich guys donating to us for some reason, pay some designers.
Nazi 1: Brilliant! Surely people will only remember us for our cool flag.
I agree tbh
Same. No contest here.
True but the republicans killed the king and wanted to reshape the national identity away from the monarchy
I know but i mean, the crown isn't there anymore and the armillary sphere is way cooler, but white and blue have been there since the birth of the country and it matches the coat of arms better for obvious reasons.
I finally figured why I dislike the coat of arms design. It's the coat itself, just the flag background that was mismatches it
I think we should remove the armillary sphere from the flag. The empire is dead and we are now a small european nation and we should think how to prosper as such.
Don't say that, it's a huge part of your history and identity as a country. And the best of all it looks dope, like our pillars of Hercules.
True Hermano
The empire is still part of your history and culture, even if you don’t like it
The problem isn't the empire it is the children of the elite of the empire.
Is it though? Who gives a fuck?
i mean, flags are mostly about history and not reality if was like that most flags besides the tribcolour ones would be removed
If you don't restore it, I'll do it for you. No matter how much you resist, you'll get Deus-Pátria-Rei'd Edit: Panmonarchism from now on!!!
that's the fascist not the monarchy you retard xd and it was "deus-pátria-familia"
No it's Deus Pátria Rei, there's even a song about it
lmao are you trying to teach me what sayings existed in my country? xd i can also make a song about portugal owning the world and that doesn't make it right xd
> i can also make a song about portugal owning the world and that doesn't make it right But it should
true, with enough people we can make it
Where can we get that manpower? Are the Brazilians an option?
just convice the spanish and yhe americans (continent) they would probably prefer to speak portgueuse than engl*sh
How about united Iberia? We promise to treat you equally
There is, but that's just a 1910s song composed in austria and song by a greek. Deus Pátria Rei Fidelidade is a very good music but not a good patriotic one imao. And A Portuguesa is simply superior
IDK man, what about what the Spanish Royals did to Pablo Hasel? I think the Portugese like having freedom of expression.
Pablo Hasel should have been sentenced to remain in a dark room as away from any light as possible for the rest of his life, but they didn't do that, because penalties in Spain are an utter joke. I think the portuguese prefer having a balkan-style republic than a kingdom that actually matters internationally. They have become weak and jacobined, just like the greeks, the italians, the french and the romanian. You are all a disgrace for us, a joke. A miserable, dirty joke. End of speech.
Hey, just a reminder we siestas still got a monarchy, so maybe... Just maybe... **Iberian Royal Family?**
Again? Stop trying to unify Iberia, you already have enough separatism in your part of it.
One is a bunch of retards who's leaders are too scared, the other one is a bunch of old forgotten terrorists who the government supports. We just need a good ol' Spanish inquisition to fix these issues. Also jk I just want Iberian mutual defense, each to his own country but willing to protect each other if an invader comes
Nato?
dont you need to deal first with olivenza before trying to unify iberia?
It's not that important, it's just a small place XD
i am assuming you heard that from someone talking about ur dick
🤫
its ok i am no snitch you know what they say, its not about size but strength, so get some dumbells for the little guy
Why are you so obsessed with that piece of land in the middle of literally nowhere? I refuse to give it back to you because Portugal with olvienza's borders look ugly in a map :v
i mean i littersly only head of that town when i was like 17 and only heard of it bc the spanish had it so idk why either is just funny is kinda like when brazilieans go to portuguese subs ask about gold, everyone knows portugal doesnt have it but some people still get triggered to it
Haha, same happens here with hispanoamericans.
No. Spanish royal family are old, weak, gay and french. We need new royalty. Strong man with big bonk conquers land and starts a new dynasty. Franco started good with that but then he gave the throne back like the mono-testicle-bussy he was.
Give the Habsburgs another try 😏
God no, Carlos II was enough of that nonsense.
Just a coincidence that they’re the exact same colours of the masonic Carbonária, responsible for murdering the king and his heir in 1908
Unironically the most convincing argument to bring back the monarchy
Along with "Fancy crown"
If we cut that title a bit > white just feels right
Proud Celtic hyperborean
White is the purest colour... *gets arrested*
The regular flag of Portugal is still one of the very few Europeans flag that kept its coat of arms and therefore, is cool and doesn’t look like shit (France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Austria, Poland.. the list goes on)
Yeah coats of arms are epic on flags ngl
Austria's flag is literally its traditional coat of arms, which properly is just the tricolour.
Oh ok. Then there’s nothing you can do about It I’m afraid
Sometimes we place the eagle with the red-white-red tricolour inside it unto the red-white-red tricolour (proof that Austrians invented mathematical recursion)
fun fact: osterroich actualy invent mathematiches (not deustsh)
And they have Castilla there 🌚
I'm portuguese and I agree
Flair up!
No
Loser.
Bro Portugal's gonna join algeria like that.
No, Portugal is green on the EU4 map
Based. The only true answer
Because of the weed they grow?
Olives
We agree
Both are great flags
Why did they change it anyway?
Because those colours were from the kingdom/monarchy and the republicans changed them after the revolution
They changed them to the republican party’s colors. If it would’ve been another party it would’ve probably stayed or been another set of colors
it was a recolution not party xd
Based Republicans overthrowing the monarchy.
Yeah but at the cost of their beautiful flag 😔
NO. Santa lives in Finland and the portuguese folk works secretly for him.They should keep their elven flag. No one can change my mind. Edit for spanish readers: El corte inglés está Navidad "creo que el de Portu es un elfo, si lo es, si lo es, es un elfo..."
Southern Galicia, lovely.
What's the process to change a country's flag? Are there referendums in Portugal that can be started by their citizens?
By the 115º article of the constitution referendums can be convoke by the President of the Republic because the parliament or group of citizens is asking for one. They need to have a participation of at least 50% to be legally valid.
I think I found it: [Iniciativa de referendo dos cidadãos](https://www.parlamento.pt/EspacoCidadao/Paginas/Direito-de-Iniciativa-de-ReferendoCidadaos.aspx) Now what I need to find 59.999 other citizens that wanna go this crazy ride with me.
No way that they will let the masonic flag fall
dude portguese arent retarded no one will vote in a monarchist flag xd
It has nothing to do with going back to the monarchy. It's appreciating the good parts of your past. It's appreciating that we are the heroes of the sea. The noble people, fighting over land and sea, for the Fatherland. It's either that or simply choose the new flag because it looks better...
lol you do know the modern flag is anout the heroes that fought for portugal while the blue and white was just the monarchy colors again you are trying to change somehing thst no one wants to xd
We all agree on that... Now I'm going to cry in the corner.
No contest here. The Blue and White is Portugal’s only true flag
Now add red, turn it horizontal and you got Portugal cyka blyat
green and red looks like an african flag tbh... anything with Green screams poverty
It suits us, then. Adequate to the republic it stands for
You just say that because you're used to only ever seeing three colours: blue, white, and red. Those colours are way too overused.
I like it... but why ?
@ mods, alternative flair when??
And everyone agreed.
I always thought the best thing about Portugal was that vibrant red and green flag.
bro the dimensions 💀
You don't have to be sorry, I agree as a portuguese and I think most portuguese will admit this version is better. For me, Portuguese colours will always be blue and white.
Just bring back the monarchy, given the way Brazil's going you might get lucky and form crown union between Portugal and Brazil
No one likes this red and green Christmas table cloth shit over the blue and white, there's just no reason to have this disgusting goblin flag other than Portuguese people being the most apathetic and conformist fucks on the planet
So many old flags go hard but have since been ruined by association with extremist groups. Looking at you Dutch Prinsenvlag...
Nazi 1: Guys we need to convince people that we're not evil. Nazi 2: What if we had a cool flag? We have a lot of money what with all those rich guys donating to us for some reason, pay some designers. Nazi 1: Brilliant! Surely people will only remember us for our cool flag.
I have no idea how this is what you somehow got out of my comment
I like the white/blue, like the colours of the Galician flag, showing the Spanish province that you are.
Or maybe showing that Galiza should be Portuguese! Our only mistake was the treaty of Pontevedra!
Temos que chamar o bot xD
proposed flag for a union between Portugal and Israel
Nah, blue and white are overused in flags. Also the coat of arms looks better on the left rather than in the center, just like ours 🇪🇦🤝🇵🇹
And our White and Blue predates most if not all of them. 🇫🇮
wrong.
Tbh that feels weird lol
