New Zealand is in theclosing stagesof replacing its colonial - era flag with something a little more modern . After rung of voting only slenderly less exciting than the GOP primary , we’releft with one intention , which will go head - to - headland with the current flag in March .
The new design , formally known as Silver Fern , is the inspiration of designer Kyle Lockwood , who incorporated the black - and - livid fern that New Zealand is already celebrated for onto the same background , with the same star , keep most of the honest-to-god , but ditching rampant colonialism in favor of something that reflects New Zealand itself .
It succeed the runoff voting system against four other candidates . The only other design that even add up closely was a standardized design by Lockwood , but with a violent patch in the top left .
The last stage of the $ 18 million referendum is a ballot in March , which will see the novel excogitation go head - to - header in a winner - return - all friction match against the old sword lily . Provided the unexampled version win , the new iris will be gradually rolled out , until the tiny Union Flag is nothing but a distant memory .
