    As a non American watching (sorry) it looks like someone recreated it in paint with a broken mouse and had also never seen a dollar bill before in their life 😅 It’s such a weird green (ironically the dollar bill green probs would have looked a lot better), and just looks so amateur. I wouldn’t worry though, there’s a lot of not good state flags, although I will admit I do think Washington may be the worst.

    Here's the backstory on the Alaskan flag: Thirty-two years before Alaska became a state, the Alaska Department of the American Legion sponsored a territorial contest for Alaskan children from seventh grade to twelfth grade to design a flag for the then territory. In 1927, the contest committee chose Benny Benson's design, a fourteen-year-old orphan. Benny was a Qawalangin (Fox Islander) Unangan born to a Swedish-American father and Aleut-Russian mother. Benson's design was chosen over roughly 700 other submissions. He used the $1,000 prize from the flag design competition to enroll in the Hemphill Diesel Engineering School for Diesel engine repair. The blue field is for not just the Alaska sky but also the forget-me-not, the official flower of Alaska. The North Star for what would become the most northerly state in the Union, and the Big Dipper was chosen for its other name, Ursa Major or the Great Bear, symbolizing strength as bears are of course associated with Alaska.

    Scott, the pelican feeding her babies blood is an old, well known symbol. There was a myth back in the day that during famine, pelican mothers would cause themselves to bleed and feed her children the blood so they could survive. It ended up being a big symbol of Christ for Catholics especially because of the parallels with the Eucharist. If you ever go to the Cathedral's adoration chapel in Fargo, the round stained glass window is actually an image of this.

    Regarding the DC flag: It is an armorial banner based on the coat of arms granted to Lawrence Washington (George Washington's 3rd great-grandfather) of Sulgrave Manor in Northamptonshire, England, in 1592. This coat of arms was used privately by the president in his home at Mount Vernon. The District Flag Commission was composed of three non-elected federally-appointed members: the president of the Board of Commissioners, the secretary of war and the secretary of the Navy. Since no local group was involved in the selection process, Washingtonians saw the flag as a symbol of their lack of representation, however they have since embraced it. Regarding the New Mexican flag: The flag was adopted in 1925 and highlights the Hispano and indigenous heritage of the state, with the sun symbol of the Zia people in the middle, with the colors of the flag of Spain. The symbol has sacred meaning to the Zia people. Four is a sacred number symbolizing the Circle of Life; the four directions, the four times of day, the four stages of life, and the four seasons. The circle binds these four elements of four together. During the San Diego World's Fair of 1915, they had to create an unofficial flag to be displayed with the other state flags, and the result was the American flag on the upper-left corner, the state seal on the bottom-right, and New Mexico in slanted big letters on a blue field.

    As a South Carolinian I’m proud we were in your favorites. The story behind the flag is also really cool. The moon is actually the crescent worn on the hats of revolutionary war soldiers, the blue is their uniform color. The original flag was just the crescent and blue and was used to warn if the British were nearby. The palmetto tree has a whole story behind it. The story goes that Fort Moultrie was built with palmetto tree trunks because it was unfinished at the time. They didn’t know that this was actually a good thing because when the British showed up and started cannonballing the fort, the soft logs caused the cannonballs to just bounce off.

    ​@thatoneguy7470 St. Louis's flag is top tier... but it's the 2nd most populous city in the state of Missouri, Kansas City is Missouri's most populous city. Which would mean St. Louis wouldn't even be on the running if they did most populous city in each state. Shame because like I said the flag is top tier, chef's kiss, beauty.

    @thatoneguy7470 city proper. Most people wouldn't think to go by metro population, especially if they just pull up a list of "most populous cities". Also even though I live in the STL metro area I don't say I'm From STL, I say I live near STL. Because if I said I am from STL to someone who actually lives in the city they would call me out telling me I don't actually live there. Which is true.

    Alabama's flag is the ultimate Rorschach test of flags. It was adopted during the "Lost Cause" era, but nothing substantially points to it actually being based off the confederate battle flag. And at that time, like Mississippi's previous flag adopted the year prior, they would be more blatant about what it represents either in documentation or design if it were a reference (Speculation starts at earliest, five years later). It's not like the confederate flag was the only thing it could be referencing either (most of the claims of confederate reference were by the Daughters of the Confederacy, a big supporter of the Lost Cause/Solid South myths). The white populated part of Alabama had been controlled by Spain before the US, and the similar feature of the Florida flag is a reference to the Burgundy Cross of Spain. Also, the northern part of the state had primarily been settled by the Scotts-Irish, and both Scotland and Ireland had a similar design.

    I worked for a Minnesota-based company last year, and during one of our meetings, I kept hearing them talk about potential legs in a certain business process. I kept writing down "leg" as they spoke, and when I finally asked what a leg was, they replied, "Oh, no, LAG." And that time it was clear, so it's good to know the ability's there, you just have to put extra effort into some words.

    I love the Colorado flag! I think the big C in the middle is just so iconic. We put it on everything and find really cool ways to make it look unique and interesting every time. But I agree that it's not a "bonafide beauty." I think there should have been another category for iconic flags that aren't quite a bonified beauty but have ascended beyond just a dorm room staple. I think Colorado, California, Texas, Maryland, and South Carolina should be in that category for sure.
