Best & Worst Flags

[MakeItRain]

Minnesota just changed flags from this

to this


People didn't like the old flag because the seal is busy as hell and because of appropriation. It wasn't very old, they started using it in 1983. I have hardly seen the new flag at all, one I think. I didn't even see the new flag when I went to a Minnesota United match earlier this month.

Incidentally, I love the state mottos for Kansas, Maine, and Minnesota. I think they are the three best in the country.

Why was the old motto in French? Agree it's busy, and there are three dates I don't understand the significance of.

Had some time (10 hours) recently between flights and it was decently represented in Minneapolis. I generally like it just kinda basic

Totally hope Maine goes the old new way

I really want Kansas to be a 1:2 proportioned flag that is outlined in the top right corner with the Missouri River. Have a 34 petal sunflower surrounded by two wheat heads and ad Astra per aspera and we're good

Swiss flag rules. Simple, striking design.

They were settled by the French, in a lot of ways a French motto makes a lot more sense than a Latin one. The three dates might be the dumbest things on any flag in the United States, the reasoning for two of the dates is really stupid. One of those dates signifies when the seal was adopted.

Well you know, bc L’Etoile kinda looks like the word toilet if you don’t know French and then du nord “of the north”  you know never mind if I have to explain it then i guess it wasn’t very funny

I don't care what people say about flags like Maryland's, yes it's over the top, but like it's so awful it's ok. There are a few others that could be better too but also not really as bad as these are

The Nevada flag is an actual national entertainment embarrassment.

[DQ12]

I like a lot of those. 

If every state flag becomes some modern-trend, minimalist abstract thing (like Minnesota's new one), that would be kind of sad.

FWIW, Nevada's old flag was baller:

[MakeItRain]

Holy crap  like do they use their flag for inside jokes or some crap?

I got a new US flag (not pictured) as the current one is fading badly.  Betsy Ross and the Whiskey Rebellion flag complete my July 4th display.  I've been debating getting a 34 star US flag, which was adopted when Kansas joined the union.  It began flying July 4th, 1861.
