**PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT:**

As a Pole living in the Chicago area, it always baffled me to see Poles use the wrong flag at all Polish celebrations in the city. Then I thought of ways to convince Poles to fly the correct white and red flag. As it turns out all of them are dead set on flying a flag with the eagle on it. So if you can’t change them, join them, or try to change the law. The current rules stipulate that the flag with the coat of arms is to be used by all diplomatic offices, as well as for sea travel and air travel. Looking at other countries like [Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Germany) for example, I found out that they use a separate coat of arms flag for their diplomatic missions while allowing their citizens to fly an unofficial flag featuring the actual coat of arms of their country. I believe Poland should do something similar hence why I created these two flags, one that enlarges and centers Poland’s coat of arms and would be used at association football games or by anyone as an unofficial flag, and a second changing the design of the coat of arms of Poland to a new one adopted in 2022 by the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland. My hope is to see Polonia and Poles in Poland adopt the unofficial flag as the second flag and the government adopt the new coat of arms for the state flag with the coat of arms. Please let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

  1. Yes, Poland should change its flag because a group of Americans insist on waving the wrong one for some reason.

  2. Are you really suggesting a country should change its official flag, because of some Amercians?

  4. There is really no need to change the flag. The current one is fine.

    OP are you actually Polish or one of *those* Plywood Pole Americans? Do you even speak Polish?

  5. Noo, let’s keep making it simple for our 1st graders or preschoolers to draw and learn about their nationality. 😉

  7. We need to bring the old Polish Lithuanian commonwealth flag with bordeux red instead of current bright red, and with proud white eagle in the middle.

  8. Dude XD wtf
    Get out! Noone should do anything about any flag because some lame Muricans can’t do anything right. Fuck them

  9. That is not a problem that needs a solution. I’d even go a step further and say that it is not even a problem at all.

  10. Really takes an American to think so much of themselve to propose systemic resolutions for a nation overseas so the decorum would be more appropriate in their mind.

  12. Dude, the official flag has some strict requirements about size and colors, so anything that doesn’t meet those standards is not considered official flag and you can fly it as much as you want and anywhere you want. You just change the size from the official one by 1cm or change little bit the shade of red and boom it’s not official polish flag. So there’s no need for a new official flag. You can just make your own flag as you like and fly it anywhere you want.
