It's a valid argument, but I hardly ever see the Texas flag get the same criticism.

proabably because ours was a nations flag first so we can get away with looking like it.

If there was a quiz on which of those flags are from US states or Europe/Arab countries I would fail. At least the name is on some of them but I have never even seen many of them to be honest.

I'm a fan of Alabama's for its simplicity:

That picture is not working for me.
(lol)

Okay so I'm not in the USA but I might as well post the flag of my province. Although I'm not flemish, this is where I live

I like Alabama's too, but it loses points in my book because it's identical to St. Patrick's Flag.

Plus, it's better than our first flag, which was admittedly unique for having two sides:

Also, I don't think Stooge knows what Ireland's flag looks like.

I didn't say it was the Irish flag, but the cross of St. Patrick represents Ireland and is used in the Union Jack to represent Ireland as well.

I just said you stole it from them.

wtf looks like an MS paint version of the EU flag.

More like the EU flag looks like an MS paint version of Alaska's flag. Although Alaska's flag was designed by a 13 year old. :o

I've always hated the flag of my state, Pennsylvania. Thing just looks like poop.

I suggest a flag with a big keystone and a hand flipping you off inside it. Sounds about right.
Ya know, I've never really sat down to take a good look at it till now (and I've lived there for 10+ years) and God, it really does suck. I do like your suggestion though, very appropriate. :lol

Ontario isn't too bad at least.

The Texas flag was made before Texas joined the United States.
Nation or not, it still borrows heavily from the U.S. flag. There's really no denying that.

Tennessee's flag is just damn boring.
Tennessee's is actually one of my favorites. I always thought the circle was supposed to look like a cannonball, but I don't think that's right.

Pish, posh, and poppycock. Let me quote myself: "The St. Patrick's flag is a red saltire on a white field. Alabama's is a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white."

BOOM!

Naw the circle is just to signify the unity of the Grand Divisions while the stars represent the Divisions themselves.

It's a better flag than the others that were proposed, but just kinda boring (and used in far too many corporations based in the state) now.

Virginia Lady should let it borrow her dildo.

Funny, because I am probably gonna get a tattoo of the "classic" Texas state flag and the "classic" Virginia state flag/emblem. :lol
 
To everyone saying "communist" like an insult, I always found communist art(propaganda) pretty awesome. The grandeur most of it has fits perfectly on a flag, something that's supposed to make you feel proud, nationalist, powerful.


Of all the flags posted up till now, the New Mexico flag from the OP and the South Carolina flag are my favorite. Simple, yet recognizable and unique. The stars/stripes variations aren't ugly per se, but boring as hell.

it is ironic since Arizona are full of republicans who hate


I agree with you that Communist propaganda stuff like flags, anthems and statues are aesthetically cool looking.
I don't agree with Commies at all but I do admire their propaganda art
 
non american here nevertheless we have a pretty cool flag (IMO).

The Styrian Flag (the green color stands for the "green" heart of austria as we are full of trees and stuff)
