But you should still stop copying ours.

>lions when europe doesn't have any lions

Cringe

Russia, Ukraine, Norway and France

>Russian represents dualism, might and complicated history.
Or a overgrown chicken from chernobyl.

>Keep your shit simple
this is the version we actually use which I also prefer because it's cleaner. Whoever made the map just used a verson that you rarely see in use

Not anymore. It was seen as offensive by many Serbs and Croats as the crescent was used by the ARBiH who themselves were not innocent of war crimes. And honestly, I get them.

>Europe doesn’t have eagles
Wtf

Best: French and Portugese

Worst: Bosnian and any with the two-headed eagle

>slovakian crest is just the right half of the hungarian one
what's up with that

>Canada doesn't have lions with swords and arrows
Let's point and laugh.

Simplicity is for flags.

Coats of Arms can be more elaborate and intricate. Fuck you and your minimalist modernism.

Slovakia is Hungarian clay

I like the russian one.

>europe doesn't have any lions
not literally, but it's people are like lions (brave, strong, top of the food chain etc.)

Poland has a hawk not a eagle.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_eagle

It's de facto, close enough

why we, turkey, bosnia, swiss have a boring one?

>They copied
>They recoloured it
>They say it was originally theirs

>best
Ukraine
Vatican
Lithuania

>worst
UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Lux, Serbia, basically all the over the top ones

Why is Italy so communist-looking? Restore monarchy (Bourbon) NOW

It is the best anyway

When coat of arms were created they were painted on the soldiers shields. Imagine drawing your unicorn faggotry on a shield lmao

greece and some balkan states had lions historically, barring that north africa was much more important historically than it is today, europe also gets both the golden eagle and white-tailed eagle even in places like scotland and we get a whole bunch of hawks and falcons otherwise

when did Slovakia even become a thing?

best: finland, i really like the idea of trampling on the eastern scimitar and holding up the western longsword

worst: italy >a star lol

Yeah because we were like: Fuck completely forgot we didn'r wrote what our Coat of Arms are… Shit we need to come up with Something: BAM there you go, but this one is in no way our true Emblem as a lot of people make the mistake

It's not over the top. They are wearing the same fancy clothes as our King.

>When coat of arms were created they were painted on the soldiers shields
Just the design on the escutcheon, and back when arms had functional purpose they usually had relatively simple designs (crosses, lines, patterns, etc.)

As usual, France outdoes everyone.

t. prideful individual with no sense of service or duty

Why are they dressed in blue instead of orange?

Well, I can imagine nobody would carry Macrons cape lol.

France for having the fasces.

Or... you tried to get rid of the original coat of arms to break away from old monarchist customs or even old revolutionary customs.

Italy and Kosovo have the worse. Most of these are 10/10 though.
I like commie aesthetic.

That area was part of Hungary for centuries, so they share symbolism.

Europe used to have lions but they're extinct now. There are more eagles in Europe than in America.

>Europe doesn't have lio-
woah...

White chiken is polish coat of arms, exclusively for black german rooster.
Russian eagle represents expectation of enemies as from East as from West.
Or imperial ambitions if youd like to see it this way.

>Leafs when Canada doesn't have any trees
what's up with that?

the slovenian one is so fucking shit i WANT TO FUCKING DIE EVERY TIME i look at it

What's worse? Putting a lion that has zero connection to your country or using the double headed eagle aka being a byzantine cuck?

Spain's is the best imo

France has best, no competition

Poland
>a fucking chicken

>all these generic and forgettable eagle / rampant lion crests with a crown on top
yeah, wouldn't switch our crest for any of those

This is the crest of the presidency.
The Republic don't have any official coat of arms

Why is the austrian eagle holding a hammer and a sickle?

>>lions when europe doesn't have any lions
biblic symbolism
>>eagles when europe doesn't have any eagles
what
>>republicans having crowns
tradition
