reFLAG is a campaign to add a little more colour to the Union Flag in order to make it more suited to our multicultural society.

Good point. I think it would make for an interesting game, as it would be hard to tell one team from another with barcodes all being so similar . . . I might actually become a fan, if that were to happen.

But, I don't think I'd be so much for it as I am for making national ensigns barcoded -- the reason is that the flag of a nation is supposed to represent the nationa -- a diverse collection of people and places with different goals and ideals working together. Sports teams, on the other hand, are groups of individuals working toward the same goal; the uniform is not so much to represent them as it is to identify team mates from opponants. The uniforms serve a more particular purpose, but a notably less significant one, on a larger scale. Make states/territories barcoded, too. Bar code license plates -- you want to know where the guy in front of you is from? Just trigger the barcode reader embedded in your car's grill; or, hell, why not put a reader in your watch?
