Saw the logo for next year's Euro 2024 for the first time today. I thought at first it was a spoof logo, because at first glance it looked like a toilet seat from above. :lol:  :blush:

My first thought was some sort of Egyptian pharaoh head.

Not a fan of them including a Russian flag, nor of the exclusion of countries that don't have bar flags.

That's not russia. It's either NL or FR. Pretty sure they wouldn't include Mordor since they've banned them from everything.

Interesting - on left from bottom I see Germany, Hungry, Russia, Netherlands/France, Poland, Belgium, Romania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Ukraine and green :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

Hungary would be green white red, wouldn't it? What orientation do flags rotate, clockwise or counter? :hmm:

And Russia is white blue red, right? That pattern doesn't appear on the toilet seat clockwise. Reading the colours counter clockwise seems counterintuitive, unless I guess you're Arabic or Hebrew

Ivory cost? Colours not being true confuses it. Especially the greens and yellow/orange.

You're assuming that any colour can only be used once and therefore unseeing the Russian flag.

At least there is no accidental swastika.

:D

top to bottom yes, but once flipped what's the right sequence. I assume clockwise so green becomes first.

I'm not reading clockwise or counter clockwise. I'm reading up is up and down is down.

Same. Otherwise even the German flag isn't there.

I'm afraid I don't follow.

s/b The antis are free to dismiss their attempts at positioning.

I.e. they're free to think of the existing Champions league as the real Champions league.
