The flag of the city of Anadyr in the far east of Siberia is a personal fave . Some other Russian city flags: Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Very Soviet. Vladivostok. Siberian Tigers are a popular symbol here, unsurprisingly. Irkutsk. What animal is that supposed to be? Well... "Wikipedia posted:The coat of arms of Irkutsk features an old symbol of Dauria: a Siberian tiger with a sable in his mouth. When the coat of arms was devised in 1690, the animal was described as a tiger ("babr", a bookish word of Persian derivation) with a sable in his mouth. This image had been used by the Yakutsk customs office from about 1642. It has its origin in a seal of the Siberia Khanate representing a sable and showcasing the fact that Siberia (or rather Yugra) was the main source of sable fur throughout the Middle Ages. (Actually, the English word "sable" is derived from the Russian "sobol"). Look at this majestic beast. And finally... Khabarovsk with the crossover event of the century! Even the red fish from Anadyr makes a cameo. bowser fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Apr 28, 2021 |

That French heraldrist who accidentally invented the beaver tiger was a cousin of the US Army officer who turned the caduceus into a symbol for medicine.

I like how all the tricolors are directly on top of eachother and then mostly hidden behind the Union Jack.

What do you mean? I only see one flag behind the Union Jack, which is itself mostly covered up.

Why isn’t the Russian flag on this chart? Whatever that is under the Czech flag comes close, but the Russians don’t use any kind of shield-shaped device that I can recall.

Grouchio posted:I hate how all the reds and blues are all the same drat hue. European flag tradition doesn't specify hue, just colour. So any red is technically valid, although in practice the same is always chosen. Gotta be careful though, you don't want to mix up your Irish and Italian. But yeah, flag design sucks. Be like Bahrain (for flags)

so every time i drive to my gf's house. i pass this house with three flags. 2 i know. one is the christian flag and the other is the Israeli flag. the third one i have never gotten a full look at and its not on road that i can slow down and take a picture like the weird goon i am. from what i see. the flag has writing on it and is yellow and green with some white. I think it has a figure but its curled around the poll most of the time. Edit. I looked through various nation state flags and i can't find any that look like it.

As for that green and yellow one, could it be the Irish "Erin Go Bragh" flag? I found it on this wikimedia page

I think it was pretty obviously meant as a reference to the Georgia that was all over the news at the time as the biggest upset of the 2020 election. I feel like anyone who's big on Putin probably wouldn't be waving the flag of an independent Georgia. Not that there weren't a lot of country flags and weird flags you wouldn't expect. https://twitter.com/varungandhi80/status/1347060127845634053 https://twitter.com/DCElliotScott/status/1346847686687944704 Also some specifically defunct flags. South Vietnam Iran under the Shah before the revolution Which is weird, since I thought those people usually self-identified as "persians" instead to differentiate themselves from current Iran. In general, the insurrectionists were one of the most flag-happy groups out there, especially their weird custom flags, which often demonstrate what's wrong with particular flag taboos. Text on flags is both hard to read at a distance, and will often get reversed depending on the angle the fag is blowing, so you get all these "PMURT" flags. Also the more obscure imagery and symbols aren't easy to recognize and you get these moments when they obscure things further by doubling up on symbols. There are some of their flags that I think have good visual design principles, but I don't want to hand it to them.

Nah dude, Caucasus Christians in particular love Trump because they thought he was going to put Muslims in camps. Same reason as Indians.

It's explicitly the Baptist flag, but Baptists in the US are by far the most likely to call themselves just "christian," and ask "So you christian or catholic?"
