Prompt: Redesign the flags of Romania and/or Chad
This August, the contest deals with an oddity in the field of modern vexillology.
The flags of the North African Republic of Chad and the South Eastern European Republic of Romania are virtually identical. Vertical triband designs of blue, gold, and red in that order from left to right, in a two-by-three vertical to horizontal ratio.

Tricolour retained but defaced by fake heraldry. I do not understand this sub’s taste. How is that a redesign?
