New Zealanders chose a new flag design on Tuesday but
the question now is whether enough people will rally behind it to oust
the current flag.
Final results from a postal ballot
were announced. The winning design features a silver fern and red stars
on a black and blue background. The new design will now go head-to-head
against the current flag in a national vote in March.
The
winning design has similarities to the current flag but ditches the
British Union Jack in favour of the fern, which has become a national
symbol and is worn by many sports teams, including the beloved All
Blacks rugby team.
New Zealanders earlier submitted more than 10,000 designs as they contemplated a change in their national symbol.
