As was recently mentioned in the suggestions thread it would be nice to see a few new shield patterns, and since one easily gets into inaccurate or fantasy-style designs when searching the internet, we should sort things out properly here and discuss the designs too, so that nothing unreasonable like the supposedly gaelic design of the previous versions is found among the wrong factions.
These suggestions are not restricted on the viking faction alone, but also one could think of a few shapes for the english and norman kite shields to set them further apart, as well as more designs for the gaelic shields. Also there are some shapes that have rightfully become unpopular, and the look of the entire viking faction could benefit from the free small shield not being bright green as it used to be pre-0.93.
So feel free to post links and pictures, just keep in mind that fantasy designs are not what we are looking for. If there are suggestions or even shields that are in game right now that seem unhistorical or out of place, replacing them is open for discussion too.
