[CUPID] TruePhoenix Players 266 posts 12,726 battles Report post #1 Posted June 11, 2021 Absolutely not saying what you might think, clearly its just a design to celebrate the upcoming tournament. It might just be my eyes but the emblem has a touch of the Hindu good luck emblem about it? I really don't know what to make of it. Trouble is once the thought is there you can't shift it. 2 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But : This is the one Finland used and they seem to have dropped it completely ( it was not on planes anymore ) as late as 2017. It had nothing to do with the German one as it was used earlier then Nazi's rose to power in Germany. "Finland's air force has been using a swastika ever since it was founded in 1918, shortly after the country became an independent nation and long before Nazism devastated Europe. Until 1945 its planes bore a blue swastika on a white background - and this was not intended to show allegiance to Nazi Germany, though the two nations were aligned. While the symbol was left off planes after World War Two, a swastika still featured in some Air Force unit emblems, unit flags and decorations - including on uniforms, a spokesperson for the Finnish air force told the BBC." 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CptBarney Players 8,127 posts 245 battles Report post #13 Posted June 11, 2021 Its a really weird swastika, although the symbol is thousands of years old as long as its not black on a white circle with a red background its fine too be fair. Although would expected something more Europe like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
