EU Flag please?

(I saw a previous thread but it was archived so i presume i couldn’t upvote it , so creating a new one)

  • It is virtually a country it has elections, borders, currency etc
  • There are a number of people who identify more with EU then their own government
  • A bunch of people want it
  • There are seperate flags for England, Wales, Scotland , Northern Ireland
  • I don’t think its political really. I voted leave.

hugs,
Andy.

Please can we have the option to select European flag for our profiles?

I like this idea. I would definitely use it for my profile. Let’s get more people to support this!

You can select the EU flag on Zwiftpower and there is an overwrite option. (at least for Zwiftpower)

Good idea. If Scotland and Wales are on offer, I don’t understand why an EU flag should be not be made available? I also want one!

Please NEVER bring politics into Zwift, this is a place reserved for training,exercise, enjoyment and recreation. The EU is not a country, it’s an ideology. All countries in Europe and the world each already have their own flag.

Please keep Zwift free of politics. The EU is not a country, yet. It is an ideology and a divisive one at that. Every person has a flag for their country. What’s wrong with that.

“Please NEVER bring politics into Zwift, this is a place reserved for training,exercise, enjoyment and recreation.” So…it is a very good reason to include the European Union flag, a political community which was set up just to keep Europe in peace and make progresses alltogether. I guess yo do not have idea what European Union is… “All countries in Europe and the world each already have their own flag.” That is not true. There are countries like my country which has not flag and there are countries without their own state, like scotland or wales, that they have their own flag. As you say, as long as " Zwift, this is a place reserved for training,exercise, enjoyment and recreation" I don’t see the problem to put flags of other political communities like in this case the European Union. I think you are talking just about political discussion, rather than “place reserved for training,exercise, enjoyment and recreation”,

Well, if we really want to keep politics out of it let’s just do away with flags in Zwift altogether. Why do we need them?

I agree with you David. Flags aren’t necesary at all to enjoy riding or racing. I think Zwift wants to be an E-sports championships’ reference. So, in order to do that, needs to duplicate the traditional system. But it would be great if they can set up another system for those who just want a competitive non-tradinonal system. For instance I would rather prefer an avatar / icon than a flag.
In this sense, E-sports have the chance to innovate and build up a much more interesting system, away from the tradional and so politicized ones.

Your comment makes no sense. Flags are highly political. If you don’t want politics in Zwift, then remove flags completely.

But back to topic: Is this so difficult to implement? Should only be an additional picture to add.

Perhaps we could have a flag to represent Watopia?
It’s where I am happiest. :slightly_smiling_face:

I would really appreciate it if you would add the European Flag to Zwift.

My country is Europe I feel as European and I would like to show it. Especially these days were borders around Germany get closed due to Corona Virus I feel it very strong that I want to show my solidarity with all people in Europe. We have to stay together to get through this, together!

I really hope you can add this flag, please!
