sc49erfan15 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 As your resident co-vexillologist (and mainly because I can't sleep and have to be at work at 10 AM), I hereby present to you the best, the good, the mediocre, and the worst. Flags are judged on cleanliness, recognizability, symbolism, and the ability to be viewed from far/high distances. Basically, the best flags are ones that are devoid of clutter, instantly recognizable as "hey, that's ____'s flag", and use symbolism/historical significance to portray that state/country. Ye olde generic blue flag with the name slapped on is automatically the worst.The top 5 US flags (in order):1. New Mexico2. Alaska3. South Carolina4. Arizona5. HawaiiThe good. Not bad at all, but not top 5 material (in no particular order):Alabama, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, TexasThe mediocre. No need to change, but could be better (in no particular order):Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Washington, WyomingThe worst. Get a better flag, stat! (in no particular order):Connecticut, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, WisconsinThe top 3 Canadian flags are, in order, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Saskatchewan in a very distant third. With no disrespect to the country, the rest of the flags are quite bad.Best National Flags:Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil, Burundi, Canada, Denmark, Dominica, France, Greece, Guyana, Iceland, India, Iran, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Kiribati, Macedonia, Malawi, Nepal, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, Slovakia, South Africa, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, Togo, Tonga, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela, Zimbabwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrbaseball Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Top 3 U.S. state flags:At the other end of the scale, the vast majority of U.S. state flags are ugly. They are nothing but a blank field with a seal in the middle. Boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrbaseball Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Doesn't that define what 2 of the 3 flags you picked are?No, Alaska and New Mexico have graphic elements on them. By a seal on a blank field I mean something like these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
