Presumably the figure in the centre is meant to represent the folk hero, Robin Hood, who has long been associated with Nottingham.

2011 proposals

Voting has just opened on the BBC Nottingham web site at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-12891504 for a Nottinghamshire flag. There is a selection of pictures of short listed designs elsewhere on the BBC web site here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/nottingham/hi/people_and_places/newsid_8779000/8779278.stm which shows that this process has seemingly taken about eight months to get from design stage to selection of short list.
