Is there anything bad about the Tennessee tri-star?

That alignment of the stars is loving awful, why would you align it like that?

Did the designer read a shitload of Lovecraft and decide just to mess with perception forever?

So, Danish Municipalities don't have flags, but they do have (Almost all) have municipal coat of arms.

This was the arms of the municipality I grew up in, can you tell the drat thing was made up in the 1970's reforms? I bet you can.

Fortunately, the municipality was merged with it's neighbors in 2007:

Go on, have a look at them: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kommunev%C3%A5bener_i_Danmark

Note the significant drops in quality sometimes, that's because some of those arms are like 800 years old, others are from the 1970 reform, some from 2007, some couldn't agree on one for whatever reason.

The actual flag of my town. I have no idea what the story behind it is and most people who live here don't know it exists because there's very few mentions of it anywhere. One of the few references is the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvallis,_Oregon

I would have thought it was a joke except that I later noticed it flies outside city hall.

Portland's is pretty cool tho and gets cited as one of the best city flags in the US, despite kinda looking like a swastika.

Portland's flag is a modified Nordic cross, it's pretty good.

What's Andorra's problem with the EU?

Tax shelter and centuries of increasingly bizarre European laws and treaties.

My Russian co-worker told me about the sane part of Russians still wanting to feel proud of their country, but without appearing to support the regime. So they made a new flag for protests, by whiping the blood off the current flag:

Pretty neat I think.

The Canton of ZUG wants it's flag back, ZUG ZUG ZUG ZUG!
