Contrary to popular belief, the current flag of Norway was just one out of many proposals, and we may well have ended up with a different flag entirely if things had been a little bit different.

This particular flag is a recreation of a design supposedly proposed by Christian Magnus Falsen in 1821, and happens to be my favourite out of all the proposals.

The other flag proposals can be found here: [link] (The site is Norwegian, but all the links on the list lead to flag proposals.)

Thanks! Considering it was among the original flag proposals for Norway, I always found it kind of disappointing that we went with the Nordic cross one in the end.
