Variant including the Southern Cross

by Jorge Candeias

A variation of the Boxing Kangaroo that includes the Southern Cross in its design. I had never seen this before. Is it used?

I think I have seen Boxing Kangaroo flags with the SC, I'm not sure. I wouldn't be at all surprised if some manufacturers included it, we love a good Southern Cross down here. Again, there's no official design specifications for the flag so there are bound to be variations, although the one at the FOTW-ws is the commonly seen one. On the subject of usage, I don't know about other Aussies on the list, but I haven't seen a Boxing Kangaroo flag of any kind for a while, maybe the odd one at a sporting match.

There is another variant with a less cartoonish kangaroo facing the fly with a gold southern cross similar to that on the national flag, in the fly.

National Flag with Kangaroo

During the Olympic Sabre final, I sawa a variant on the Boxing Kangaroo theme. It was the Australian flag with the Southern Cross slightly displaced to the left as to permit the addition of a yellow kangaroo from the waist up, facing the hoist. I haven't seen any others exactly like it, but it wasn't homemade.

At the triathlon, there was someone waving an Australian flag with a boxing kangaroo, and 'smudges' of green around the edges.

A Kangaroo Flag at the Olympics

A flag seen several times during the Olympics is quarterly green and gold. The green quarters have an outline-style drawing (in gold) of a kangaroo facing the hoist, with gold outlines of stars forming the southern cross behind/around the tail. The gold quarters have the green text 'Go!' written three times in each quarter.
