They haven't made many good flags for our burger states.

Oh shit, bro, you weren't kidding! Oh gawd! So much ugly!
Okay, let's take a look at the positives. Alabama is super solid. Texas is looking good as well. Uh, that's about it, unfortunately.
Hawaii goes for the 2 2/3 French and quarter Brit, Mississippi is kinda southern but 3/4 French, I guess, Arizona goes full on commie east Asian nation and oddly Tennessee does so as well in a different way and the rest just straight up didn't give a fuck.
Especially Washington is just plain terrible. Yeah, I guess just put the dude in there and then, like, green, you know, dude? Fucking terrible!
The rest of you, be very, very ashamed of you! Some kinda blue and an ugly coat of arms? God, that's awful! Illinois and Massachusetts couldn't even decide on a colour! No, Nevada, putting your shitty coat of arms in the corner doesn't make it much better.
Hey, South Carolina, do you think you're a Muslim nation or something? A palm tree and a sickle moon? The fuck is going on with you spastics?
Ohio, you're doing surprisingly good.
Look at Maryland, everybody. Barely trying for an European design and outdoing all of you idiots despite being on meth.
Wow, absolutely terrible! Terrible!

Ah, look at that! A fucking feast for sore eyes!
Unified coat of arms placement and never too many colours. I could look at those all day and identify them from miles away.

I figured that if I'm going to sperg about flags I should make a thread for it instead of shitting up the Trump thread. So is this seriously a complaint, would you rather have me post it in the Trump thread or are you just being a cunt because that's in your nature?

I just don't think it warranted its own separate thread. We often go off topic

I'm planning on going through flags of other nations in the future as well. No, the two posts so far wouldn't warrant their own tread on their own, to answer your rather daft question, but the reason I'm making it is due to my plan on expanding on it. I'm not exactly one to just post lots of threads for no reason.

Judging by the burger flags, I think it is safe to assume that the art of heraldry died before the colonisation of the new world :thinking:

Look at this fucking art. The Fukushima one looks especially pretty. I might go there for a bit once I finally start my pilgrimage.

Hm, there are a few pretty good ones and a few bland ones. I might consider Japan next. After an in debt look into German ones. That's the first I'll display the good, the bad and the ugly off to combat claims of bias.
After that I planned on either Italy or Great Britain but Japan looks interesting.

Of course YOU have to be a buzzkill, it's ingrained in your anglo DNA.

Our state flags are call boring as shit since they copy paste the Aussie flag as a template, remove all the stars , usually dump a fucking circle where the Southern Cross is and half ass a design:

In terms of city flags I was curious why I have never seen Sydney's flag, now I know why:

Over designed and just shit all round. All the of city ones are except Perth:

Accurately portrays the high density of English people who live there to this day (I don't mean ethnicly) and the Swans represent Swan River. The rest are fucking trash.

If you think your flags are shit you haven't been looking around many nations. Some of your flags are really interesting and some are downright amazing. Sure, most of it is a Union Jack in the top left corner, blue everything and whateverwhogivesashit kinda coat of arms but some are pretty alright.
But yeah, that Sydney one is downright disgusting. Yeah, no shit you've never seen anyone fly that one. That's often the case with ugly flags, nobody knows about them because nobody flies them.

An example to the opposite is Chicago, as mentioned, or Amsterdam.

If you've ever been to Amsterdamn you've seen it. Guaranteed. Before you say "yeah, duh" have you ever seen the flag of New York in New York? Anywhere? You won't. It's fucking hideous. But in Amsterdam you'll see the flag of it everywhere. It looks like a turbo rad pirate flag!
