Those are both good designs. Nonetheless I still prefer the Tino rangitiratanga flag.
"Explanation of design:
Black represents Te Korekore, the realm of potential, the heavens, the long darkness from which the world emerged. Black also represents the male element - formless, floating and passive.
White represents Te Ao MÄrama the realm of being, the world of light, the physical world. White also symbolises purity, harmony enlightenment, and balance.
Red represents Te Whei Ao, the realm of coming into being. Red also represents active, lashing, southern, falling, emergence, forest, land, and gestation. Red is the female element, Papatuanuku, the earth mother, the sustainer of all living things. Red is also the colour of earth from which the first human was made.
The Koru (the curling frond shape) represents the unfolding of new life, rebirth, continuity, renewal and hope for the future.'
And red/black/ white are also crone colours too...
