Why today? Well, this Sunday Stamps' theme is 'Flags or ensigns', and you can see the flags of the participating countries - be it in the shape of the ball.
I found some other flag stamps:
An Italian stamp, showing the flags of Italy and San Marino:
The Scottish flag:
The red and white squared flag top left is the flag of the (Dutch) province Brabant, and I think the ensign belongs to the specific group the boy and man belong to:

I like the fact that the world championship sheet stamps form a football pitch. And I like that horse on the universal mail stamp.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes, the soccer field is nice. The only problem is that it keeps me from tearing off and use up these stamps...
VerwijderenI'm not fond of football, but those stamps are very original.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFirst step to soccer love starts with a stamp?!? :-p
VerwijderenI never say "impossible", but regarding to football is really, really difficult! ;-)
VerwijderenI like the little porcupine on the Italian stamp, a rather nice design.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for your comment, Joy! At first sight I thought it a hedgehog, but you are right, it's a porcupine, and I agree that it's a nice design.
VerwijderenOh my - I love the "heavy horse"! I've seen him and he is magnificent.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI also like the football themed stamp sheet (and those lions rampant that so confound you!!)
I didn't know the 'heavy horse', and thought it a 'normal size' statue, but thanks to your comment I looked it up, and wow, it indeed is huge, and clever made!
VerwijderenGood to see the Heavy Horse on a stamp. I found it hard to identify all the countries on the footballs - a great sheet.
