gb-eng, gb-nir, gb-sct, gb-wls are good. They all are from ISO 3166-2

@simonwielens, @Jokero are you guys fine with these flags?

Jokero commented Dec 24, 2015

gb-eng, gb-sct, gb-wls are ok, but I'm not sure about Northern Ireland flag.

From Northern Ireland wiki:

The official flag is that of the state having sovereignty over the territory, i.e. the Union Flag.
...
The Ulster flag and the Cross of St Patrick have no official status and, under the Flags Regulations, are not permitted to be flown from Government Buildings

But from flag of Northern Ireland wiki:

The Saint Patrick's Saltire is sometimes used by the government to represent Northern Ireland alongside the other countries of the United Kingdom, and is the centrepiece of the badge of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
The Ulster Banner remains in use by unionists, a number of sporting organisations in Northern Ireland and some local government authorities under Unionist control.

St Patrick's Saltire:
Police

Ulster Banner:
Fans
Flags

I do not know which one to use. Maybe we add both flags?

that's one of the reasons that I didn't want to include extra flags for so long.. :/

Jokero commented Dec 24, 2015

We can keep only the flags of Scotland, England and Wales. Because they are all countries and have official flag

And GB-NIR is province (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB)

Great! stuff. Thx. But the GB-NIR is not showing up on your css.

NIR Flag
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Northern_Ireland.svg

This NIR flag has been used on football and other events.

@carlosdv4 I tried to investigate this early #120 (comment). NIR is not a country and it does not have own official flag

jcdsr commented May 11, 2016

:D You can run into a lot of troubles by just mention "NIR is not a country and it does not have own official flag"

May not be totally official but to every NIR that's their flag.

Could you add that flag to your files, please. I'm sure you won't get that many request for NIR.

Regards.

What kind of troubles?! It's a free world man.. we can say and do whatever we want.. (at least in this part of the world..)

Could you add that flag to your files, please. I'm sure you won't get that many request for NIR.

Nope.. sorry.. maybe if I'll get too many requests I'll reconsider.. :)

@carlosdv4 I don't know the real situation around Northern Ireland, I just use public resources to get information :) So you can take a look at this page https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:GB and find "Northern Ireland". It's marked as "province". In context of ISO 3166-2 my phrase is correct, but there is another question: does this standard contain correct information? 😄 Anyway this question is not related to this repository

I will say that I'm using the flags in a sports-related setting and for the
purpose of soccer, NIR is a "country" that competes with other countries.
Regardless of that though you probably need to pick a standard and stick
with it as there are dozens of such gray areas all over the world. Kosovo,
South Sudan, Catalonia, Gibraltar, Jersey etc. I'd definitely look at the
standards out there as they've been dealing with these issues for a while
now.

BTW, great project. really love it.

Anyway if you don't want to do it, here is the solution for NIR flag your lazy...

Internet is a fun place..! Not sure why people are getting mad.. or think that I'm lazy or care so much for something that they didn't do or wanted to do anyway.. like I mentioned before @carlosdv4 we live in a free world and nobody is paying me for doing that.. so how can you even demand or assume that I'm lazy?! do you think that this project just appeared here?! wtf?

@seanfoo Yes.. that was the whole point.. that I sticked only to the official CIA listed recognised countries but eventually due to the large demand I added a few more in the #120.. and now the chaos!! I enjoy the ride anyway.. it's fun! Thanks for the support..

@lipis First of all, thanks for your work!

I am writing a small app about the UEFA EURO2016, for which Northern Ireland qualified. So the flag is widley spread on every match schedule everywhere. No offense, just saiing :)

I am using @carlosdv4 flags for now.

Well, the official UEFA website is probably a good starting point: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2016/teams/team=63/index.html
