It’s a good flag but now looks unfortunately kekistani. Most municipal flags look like lovely mspaints for corporations in the 90s. Also pretty much all of Japan’s prefectures look like airline logos

This looks like it belongs on a red field with a union jack canton as flag of a new canadian province.

Worst country flags (ignoring minor territories) are Zambia, Haiti, and Belize. The part about most overrated flag is great, though I'm biased toward historical designs like Gran Colombia.

Grouchio posted:Brussels native? Or is that Gent? It's Ghent. You're thinking of the Brabantian flag, which is the inverse of the Flemish flag:  This is the flag of Brussels, with Saint Michael trampling the Devil:  The Brussels Capital District has its own flag, too, which is oddly French-looking to me due to its fleur-de-lys:

Pope Hilarius II posted:
They changed it, for the worse, in 2015.  As far as I know, this design was drafted during a procedure to create an icon (not a flag!) for the Brussels-Capital Region on its websites. Unfortunately the legislature did not care about the difference/got confused/I don't know what went wrong and they just voted it in as a new flag. I once read an article where the designer expressed regret, because if they'd known it would be flown as a flag they would not have picked such garish colours (idea was that they had to be bold and striking even when looking at the icon on a lovely monitor, and also hence the simplification of the fleur de lis design to what is essentially a corporate branding)

Imagine there's somebody wearing a long coat with like the split tails at the end, and no pants, so they're putting up their butt and mooning you in the flag.

   Native American flags really run the gamut from more common simplicity to complex, clumsy iconography, and a couple seals as flags in there as well. A lot of them are also pretty young and probably haven't seen wide use. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_Native_Americans_in_the_United_States         Really makes the Oklahoma state flag fit in.

Lutha Mahtin posted:a lot of those have cool and nice looking elements at least. i genuinely like the purple one with the boxes and tree/arrowhead That's the flag of the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois Confederation. The flag itself only dates to the 80s but it's based on very old symbolism, with the four boxes and central tree representing the five original nations of the Haudenosaunee. It's cool as balls!

The current one polls fairly well amongst all state and territory flags in this follow-up flag survey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KPZuIvKUsA No big surprises in the rankings IMO.

I think the ones that are actually grids (54, 60, 63, 66, 70) are pretty ugly; I wonder if anyone else agrees. I can't put my finger on why, but I vastly prefer the other ones, where the stars aren't directly on top of each other.

I want DC and PR statehood but also the abolition of 4 other states so we can go back to that.

Just looked it up and yeah, honestly I think that looks bad. I don't like the empty "stripes" of blue at the top and bottom of the canton; maybe that's just a matter of how they spaced out the stars, but I think the spacing looks a lot more natural when the rows are alternating between lengths of n and n+1. Maybe it's just because I grew up with the 50-star flag so it's what I'm used to, like how everyone's favorite pizza place is whatever they got as a kid.

Either make a cool design with the stars (not a grid or an offset one) or go back to the horrible original idea of 51 stars and 51 stripes too
