Every state flag is bad. Don’t believe me? Look at them. Here are the 50 worst
 
Found this on FB, it's worth a few laughs :D What's the deal with bears and trains?

Some of my favorites :haha:

ALABAMA
Someone gave the state of Alabama a box to check with the question “DO YOU WANT TO CREATE A FLAG” and this was the response. That or Alabama is unable to write its name and has to sign everything with a big red X. In general, it is a poor idea to pick as your flag an image that could be regarded as a negative answer to the question, “Should you visit Alabama?”

CALIFORNIA
Okay, California. Half credit for containing a bear. But you have not been a Republic since 1846, so this flag is misleading. I guess the words “California Republic” were necessary because otherwise you could be mistaken for something having to do with the Soviet Union.

DELAWARE
“Were we supposed to dress up for this?” the guy on the left is asking. “I didn’t, but it looks as though you did. And why is there a cow?” Whatever committee designed this flag clearly solicited suggestions for what should go on a flag of Delaware and then said “YES” to all of them. Date? Seal? Cow? Ship? Motto? Hoe? Guy In A Fancy Hat? Sure, why not! Slap ’em all on.

ILLINOIS
This ill eagle should be illegal. Why is “Sovereignty” upside down? None of the other words are. A lot going on here, none of it good.

Very LAME note on OHIO's flag.

"This is what the wildly successful Obama logo would look like if it were the wildly unsuccessful Hillary logo."

Does the original poster even have a clue that Obama was not born when Ohio adopted it's flag?
Was the original poster even born before the Internet?
Douch material.
:nope:

“Two words: Confederate Yugoslavia.”
“But neither of those places exists any longer.”
“Sounds to me like their flags are free for the taking.”
“Well –”
“MISSISSIPPI!”

:haha: :haha: :haha:

Maryland's flag has been known to induce epileptic fits in children.

As lefty as Washington State is in it's politics, I'm surprised old George is still in prominent place. What! A slaveholder on our flag? Oh well, if he's still good enough for the dollar bill.

Artistry is flagging
 
State flags are a tad dated these days.

CA hasn't had any grizzly bears in it since the beginning of the 20th century. So they don't even deserve the half credit. :D
