I really like the design of Poland's flag. According to legend, the blue stripe in the flag represents all of the reliable allies the Polish people have had during their history.

I went through Mir's list and while it has been replaced, Provo's flag made me lol irl

And that isn't even close to the worst one.

When did Wichita steal New Mexico's flag?

I never even knew they had one then one summer I visited and boom that flag is everywhere

1937, NM made theirs in 1925. The flag has been there forever, the difference is now it's fashionable to display it, to try and make Wichita more cool

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Wichita,_Kansas

INTERESTING!

Both flags are great and MiR GTFO with your "those flags are nothing alike" take. If you don't frequent either location and don't see them side by side that symbol basically makes them identical

Maybe. I lived at one of those places and been to the other roughly a dozen times so I don't see them as similar at all, no different than two flags with one star on them.

It's not the worst, but it's the only one that made me lol at it as I scrolled through

99 percent invisible is a fantastic podcast and this was unsurprisingly informative:

Looking at the Lowell, MA flag it's pretty easy to see why Kansas's New England imports came up with a shitty flag with a seal:

michigancat · « **Reply #35 on:** October 14, 2020, 06:13:44 PM »

also today I learned that Kansas used to have a "state banner" meant to be hung vertically instead of horizontally to not compete with the US flag but it got rejected for display in Washington, DC so they made a flag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Kansas#cite_note-NAVA_Banner-6

And the banner was pretty cool!

why they just didn't rotate that bitch 90 degrees and call it a "flag" I have no idea.

Lol at that Lowell flag. Every bountiful cornucopia starts with some coal fired air pollution.

Have you been to the Kansas State Fair? They are all over the place during the fair, but most are the size of a car window flag(1'x2').
