    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 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. ๐Ÿด๓ 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

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

    • Argentina ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท

    • Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

    • Japan ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

    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:

    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.

    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.

    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.
