Septic Knothead posted:I am hoping some of you flag experts can help me ID a flag I saw hanging in a home office over a Zoom call. By memory it was in a Texas home, seven alternating red and white stripes and sixteen (I think) stars in a circle in the upper left. Definitely didn't match any representation of the Betsy Ross flag that I have seen. My first thought it that it was an historic Texas flag, but did not match any Texas flag I could find. What color were the stars? Was the corner a different color? Can you draw a lovely MS Paint sketch of the flag, maybe?

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.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:You are a crazy person, the 48 star flag is the best the US ever had. 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.

Seems like it goes against the whole "non-binary" thing to have two different flags representing two mutually exclusive modes of existence.
