New flag versus old flag
0:01
Right, so we're shown a country's newest flag and their oldest flag. So Venezuela, 2006 is what they're currently using
0:07
I didn't realize that flag was this young. But in 1810, their flag looked like this
0:11
Similar colors, but the new ones definitely better as a flag. Next, we've got Saudi Arabia, 1973, much younger than I expected once again
0:19
And then 1932, it kind of looked like the Pakistan flag. Still very similar, though, but interesting to see
0:24
Morocco, okay, I'm interested, I'm intrigued. 1666 is the modern, hang on, what
0:30
this was it from the back, but it turns out that they just must have had a red flag. All right, that's fine
0:34
Ireland, 922. But then in 1542, it looked like that. Totally different
0:39
Israel? Whoa. I don't like that. It's like a clip art version
0:43
That's horrendous. Not a big fan of Israel. Hungary, totally mixed it up. Hungary's oldest flag from over a thousand years ago, looking quite a bit like the
0:49
Qatar and Bahrain flags. All right, what we've got next? That's going to be Netherlands, isn't it
0:53
Let's have a look. Netherlands pretty similar. They just simplified it, which I think is the right choice
0:59
Bahamas. No way. Oh! Is that where the Jolly Roger flag originated
1:04
Oh, this is crazy. So the Republic of Pirates was based in what is now Bahamas
1:09
That's really interesting. Syria, 1980, compared to... Yeah, that still looks nice
1:14
I think the 1930s flag looks nice. Sri Lanka. Um, ooh, which do I prefer
1:19
I think I just like both. The lion's the best bit. It's on both. There we go
1:22
Cameroon 975. Whoa, they had a big elephant. I like the big elephant
1:26
That looks cool, although it was probably colonial, which is less. cool of course Nepal always keeping it original with their flag shapes Very nice Gotta respect it Poland have really switched things up I mean that quite cool because you don see a shape like this on many flags And the Poland flag is far from unique so I like that one Okay China oldest flag has got to be very old Let see Yeah 1644 And it looks absolutely amazing Brazil have a pretty US flag which I once again assume is somewhat colonial What the US oldest flag Oh that terrible I glad they changed it That is horrendous It makes me a bit sick actually to look at India have had so many different flags
2:04
over the years, but this was their first one, 1858. Obviously, definitions are difficult
2:08
but I reckon India have definitely had a flag older than 1858. Egypt, 1250 is what that one looked
2:14
like. So they skipped their birds, that's nice. Turkey totally mixed it up from their 1037 flag
2:20
France, 1976, compared to 987, long time ago, old flag. Germany, that's a cool looking bird
2:29
This is from the 1400s. I mean, that looks epic. It kind of looks a lot like the Albania flag
2:34
then we've got Greece. Okay, fair enough. That's fine, I suppose. The new one's definitely better, though
2:40
Then we've got Italy. What did Italy change? 1861. Same colours, they just minimalized it
2:45
Ukraine have kept their colour scheme as well, similar to Poland's old flag in terms of the style
2:50
Ooh, United Kingdom, 1801, to 519. That's got to be one of the oldest flags that we've had on here
2:56
That's way better than our flag. I reckon we change it back. Spain, Spain's a nice iconic flag
3:02
It's just a bit too complicated that one. Russia. Ooh, I'm not sure I like that. I don't know
3:08
