CGP Grey did a video where he ranked all the state flags, and I'm pretty sure he'd agree with your list.

Never have writing on your flag - nobody is going to try and read that crap while it's flying in a flagpole.

Double negative on Florida for stealing Alabama's flag AND making it worse.

Don't point out the obvious to the dumbasses on here. They're just mad the SC flag is much better than their state flag.

Missouri should change to an inception theme. The bears should be holding the seal of the bears holding the seal of the bears holding the seal of the bears…

Then it’d be memorable.

When I see the Texas flag, I just think that’s the kind of flag I want to go into battle with.

The SC "crescent" is believed to be a gorget the palmetto is for the palmetto log fort they built to defend against the brits.

I am pretty sure they meant black people to be offended when they did it in the 20s.

I’m obviously biased, but I think Tennessee’s is the coolest.

I like TN's flag as well, but every time I think of it, I see this in my mind:

They could name Arkansas the Steel state now that Mississippi County, Arkansas is the largest steel producing county in the nation.

Arkansas doesn't really promote the state flag regardless of what it looks like unlike some states like Texas that I have seen more Texas flags in Arkansas than Arkansas flags.

Another suggestion is the rice state since Arkansas produces 49% of rice in the United States.

South Carolina is an easy #1

Texas is cool for the meaning behind "lone star state", but design wise I think it's pretty overrated tbh. Not a ton of imagination beyond the design of the country's flag

I’d have your top 2 as top 2. I’d put Florida #3 tho. Idk how you think Alabama’s flag is better. I guess you’re a simpleton, but Florida’s seal actually has a lot more history, and it’s not bland and boring like half the other states seals. In God We Trust

Medieval German Flags were the best (before Unification).

Hard to find banners or flags like that because of the price of seamstresses.
