Proposal 8 looks the best imo, but I think it would be better if the stars are yellow to contrast with the red band it is on. It would also be more balanced that way.

I would like 8 better if the yellow were either absent or stronger (as in Tanzania) As it is, it’s too narrow.

Also, maybe they decided against it because Tanzania’s flag was decided ten years earlier.

I didn’t see the yellow when I was looking at it via a mobile app. That’s how narrow it is.
