I like Alaska's best, Colarado and Alabama's are a bit boring.

I think my favorite is New Mexico though.

New Mexico's is excellent.

The Illinois one looks like the bird has its beak caught on the banner!

these remind me of elite social clubs that join together one night a hear and dress dress up like indians. "oooh, doesn't midge look positively heathen in that sioux headdress!"

it's the same damn flag
just with different details
MY LIFE HAS NOT CHANGED

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Monday, 13 September 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Hawaii clearly would like to secede and join Australia. Is their flag really that long, too?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Monday, 13 September 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

two states
we want two states
north and south
two, two states
forty million daggers ...
two states
we want two states
there's no culture
there's no spies
forty million daggers ...

arkansas is pretty wicked, so literal

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 13 September 2004 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, much like Sade, we all live the Diamond Life down here.

Massachusetts' flag has a guy doing the crawl with a sword, waiving it menacingly over a peaceful Indian.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Monday, 13 September 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Oregon's is the only flag with something on the back. It's like twice the flag!

I was just talking about which state flags are cool and which aren't with some friends a few weeks ago. Arizona is great, Colorado is not so great. Also, why does Alaska get the damn constellation all wrong?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 13 September 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Does it? I was just reading about it, and this is kinda cool:

The winner of the contest [to design the Alaskan flag] was a seventh grade Aleut student, thirteen year old John Bell (Benny) Benson, from Chignik. He was living in an orphanage in Seward, the Jesse Lee Mission Home, at the time of the contest.

He designed the present Alaska State Flag with a blue background to represent the sky and the Forget-me-not flower. On that background were placed eight gold stars to represent the Big Dipper and the North Star. The Big Dipper forms part of the constellation Ursa Major or Great Bear; symbolizing strength.* The North Star represents the future state of Alaska, the most northerly in the Union. Benny's simple, elegant design was adopted by the Alaska Territorial Legislature in May, 1927.

* Benny misspelled the word strength as "strenth" on his entry. He was worried that this would disqualify him from the competition.

Wyoming's is slightly disturbing:

This throwback Nevada flag is very appropriate:

Wyoming's is slightly disturbing:

Why?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i picture the bison being branded with that giant painful seal. I doubt it would survive. I'm also finding Virginia's disturbing.

― Symplistic (shmuel), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

i thought the bison ate the state seal. hilarity ensues.

― amateur!!st, Monday, 13 September 2004 20:33 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, the flag could be an x-ray
