Sussex flag proposal

Six yellow martlets, 3, 2 and 1 on a blue field. Posted on the UK Flag Registry in May 2011.
Jason Saber, 21 May 2011

From the Flag of Sussex web page:
This is our proposal for a flag for the traditional county of Sussex; Saint Richard's Flag, named after the Sussex's county patron saint, Saint Richard of Chichester. The flag displays six martlets on a blue field (background), which comes directly from the emblem of Sussex, which is a symbol which is used to represent the County of Sussex today. The flag is meaningful, distinctive, simple and eye-catching, and we believe this proposal represents Good old Sussex by the Sea.

Sussex Party flag for Sussex

by Steve Sainsbury

The design of the flag for Sussex, produced by the Sussex Party which has been formed to put the case for a parliament for Sussex. We work closely with other regionalist movements in the British Isles. The flag is four bands. The top also has a yellow circle in the top left corner. The circle represents the sun. the first band (blue) the sky, the second band (green) the Downs, the third band (yellow) the beaches and the fourth band (blue) the sea. The flag is a deliberate departure from the rather staid and historic flags adopted by other regionalist movements in Britain. I imagine commercial production of the flag will be started in the not too distant future, once we've done a bit of publicity/marketing!
