Should Romania and/or Chad change their flag?

Virgin Romania vs. Chad Chad

[Zinneke]

Romania could put their coat of arms on, or recognise their Hungarian and German minorities somehow (fat chance of the latter though).

Not many Germans left anyway.

Of course the pre-1989 Romanian flag was distinguished from Chad's in the way you suggest.

Romania should incorporate Moldova (again) and slightly adapt its flag.

Unironically not the worst idea, but I'd be skeptical of Romania's willingness to swallow the poison pill of tolerating (or dealing with) Transnistria.

Transnistria can be merged into Russia.

Hopefully America too, next.

I think this issue is best solved by both countries modifying their current flags or changing them to a different design.

But what if chadi-romanian union?

[Frodo]

Chad should look for an alternative, given Romania has a longer history with its tricolor.

[Crumpets]

Yes. This can be the new flag of Romania:



and this can be the new flag of Chad:



That should solve all the confusion.

They should adopt new flags and let Andorra keep the blue-yellow-red tricolor.

I suppose a mildly interesting question is why Chad didn't go for the "pan-African" colour scheme.

Probably the same reason they keep their current flag, which is the current flag's lack of association with any political faction. There likely was one or more factions at independence who used the pan-African colors as their own. Chad truly is one of those leftover collection of colonial lines on a map, which is one reason Gaddafi thought he'd be able to annex northern Chad.

On the other hand, it was Romania that changed its flag to the same as Chad's after the fall of Ceausescu.

On a different note, why do so many countries go for 3 colors?

If anyone should be changing their flag, it's Chad, who adopted it later. But since it's rare, if ever that ambiguous situations between the two arise, there is little point in changing their flag.

Ireland and Ivory Coast sort of share a flag too but nobody would mix the two up(except the Orange Order).

[jaymichaud]

Both could, tricolors are kinda uninspired.

The order of the colours is different, not the case with Chad/Romania.

True, quite true.  Nobody mixes up Canada with Peru.

Yes and they should have a fistfight between their strongest men to figure out which one gets to keep the flag.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

 

and while we're at it, spain should change it too
