 The BBC competition winner would, according to the Sussex Association, be an inappropriate choice for a county flag of Sussex that is meant to be representative of the traditional county of Sussex, rather than a joint flag for the administrative counties of East Sussex and West Sussex.This flag portrays an amalgamation of County Council arms, which do not represent any county and only represent the councils.The county flag of Sussex does not need to feature the colour red on it to represent the east of the county; red only represents East Sussex County Council.
