State flag, but: Marylandโs got an absolute banger, imo.

Agreed. It always makes me think of Nascar, lol. But the other half represents a pro-Confederate family, and I'd love to hear someone explain how the city of Baltimore has continued to accept that. "Bigger fish to fry" and "not wanting to alienate racists" is all I can come up with.
I think with a lot of stuff like that, most people don't care. Like I assume it's the red and white side that you're talking about but idk, and for sure I never see racists flying either set of colors which is why I think no one cares.
The Confederate flag didn't fall out of favor primarily due to its meaning in the 1800's, but moreso due to the contemporary associations.
I was refraining from posting this, so I'm very glad someone else did. Back when we were masked up, I always appreciated the Maryland flag masks the most and made sure to compliment their wearers.
Vietnam:

Angola:

Nepal for originality:

I thought the Angola flag looked bad ass so I looked the country up on Wikipedia. This struck me as a bit odd.
"Angola achieved independence in 1975 as a one-party Republic, but the country descended into a devastating civil war the same year, between the ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), backed by the Soviet Union and Cuba; the insurgent National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, an originally Maoist and later anti-communist group supported by the United States and South Africa"
Apologies in advance if I'm doing this wrong. But the 1890 national flag of China was badass. Check out the current Welsh flag though, I'd say it's close. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ
It kind of disappoints me that Wales ruins the standard:flag system in the Home Nations though, if they were to be included in the Union Flag I'd want to see it be the St. David's Cross with the dragon going on the Royal Standard where France used to be
Nobody has mentioned Kyrgyzstan yet

I agree these are good, the others were not though. I'd like to add to consideration:
-
Argentina ๐ฆ๐ท

Canada ๐จ๐ฆ

Japan ๐ฏ๐ต
In particular, Argentina is, if not the best national flag, at least my personal favorite.
. Argentina, bog standard three stripes and something in the middle design no different from El Salvador's, Guatemala and Honduras's.
. Canada, same as the Argentinian flag but worse because of its use of a leaf. By far the cringiest flag.
. Japan, it's just mid.
The Canadian flag is not a "bog standard three stripes" design. It even introduced a new vexillological term; the Canadian pale.
I don't understand why you think the maple leaf, a symbol which has been associated with Canada ever since there was a "Canada" to speak of, is "cringe".
The Canadian flag is a vexillological masterpiece and I will die on this hill. I wouldn't bother dying for my country, but I would for its flag. It's instantly recognizable, simple yet symbolic, and honestly such a massive glow-up from the previous Red Ensign flag.
You want to see a cringe flag? Look at this atrocity:

Cringe flag for a cringe country
I agree that Argentina could be improved. Maybe make it five stripes instead of three? Just add a bar of white at the top and also the bottom. The red symbol in the middle is great, but maybe we need more than one, let's make it four in a horizontal row. Since there are more now they've got a be a little smaller and therefore also simpler, something recognizable but cool like a brewer's star.
Oops, just made the Chicago flag again. Unbeatable.
Someone else mentioned Seychelles, so I'll also throw in the rather awesome, Jamaica:

Greenland: ๐ฌ๐ฑ
Isle of Man: ๐ฎ๐ฒ
Papua New Guinea: ๐ต๐ฌ
Albania: ๐ฆ๐ฑ
Flag of Iran, or the flag of the Kingdom of Hejaz (gone). Nothing political about those choices in particular, i just think their flags are the prettiest.


I always loved Angola. I also appreciate the minimalistic design of Japan.
Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟ
Flags of communist countries have always been awesome. USSR, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, East Germany
I can't find it, but there's a cool infographic / image that has all of them. I could only find one for the hammer and sickle variations:

Japan, just a red dot
The old one was better!
The old one is also seen as as bad as the flag of Nazi Germany in East and Southeast Asia. Imperial Japan was extremely brutal, and the use of the rising sun flag in modern times is a symbol of fascism in Japan, like the swastika.
Must be the Dutch one since half the world copied it in some way ๐บ๐ธ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐ท๐บ ๐ซ๐ท
U mean design and style? If so then I like north macedonia
Mozambique for sure, I'm not from there, never been there, don't even really want to go, idt I've even met someone from there, but that flag with the AK goes so hard I want it on a shirt.
I like Canada ๐จ๐ฆ, Wales ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ and Bhutan ๐ง๐น

Despite its connotations the USA flag is pretty good.
