Theirs made more sense to me when I learned that their state's official sport is still "jousting."

Since I am a huge fan of vexillology, I will provide a real list.

1. Arizona
2. Hawaii
3. Tennessee
4. Texas
5. Colorado
6. South Carolina
7. New Mexico
8. California
9. Alaska
10. Maryland

Missouri's is top 20, just too complicated and not as easy to identify to make it top 10.

Not to make a nerdy thread nerdier, but saying the name is kind of a bad thing, it should identify the entity it represents without saying the name. Saying the name is actually bad.

In fact, Washington's flag is the most expensive state flag to produce since it needs to be printed or stitched on both sides. Same with all those other state flags with names on them.

Sure, it's cool having your name on it, but it means it has to be produced independently on both sides and stitched together of one side wouldn't read correctly. Plus, it just makes for a shitty flag.

Names and words are bad.

Tbird, if you're really in to this, I'll link my site (if I can find it) to try to redesign the flag of the City of Las Vegas (which currently sucks.)

I think the New Mexico flag is boring and ugly. To me the best flags are like Misoouri, Texas, Arkansas. The Texas flag to me is just quality, you know what it is as soon as you see it. The Missouri flag with the bear seal is a quality flag also. The Maryland and Ohio flags are too busy for me.


Other than the US flag the best country flag for me is Canada and the Nepal flag is a joke, the two pennat thing reminds me of a puppet show.

At the risk of irking the citizens of the Texan Embassy's host territory, the MO flag never really did anything for me one way or the other. I don't hate it, but it's just not...idk.

It needs something, but I'm not sure what. JMO

Here we go. It's super nerdy, so I'll delete it to protect my street cred (and probably my actual identity) as soon as you get it.

ETA: now that I see it again, a lot of those really suck. I must have been drunk.
