‘MURICA!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, for a city that was once home to the capital of a very notorious country, this looks pro-American. The red, white, and blue, 13 colonies star array, the boater, this looks more like the logo for a third party not many people would have known about, and we can call it the, uhm, Boater Party or sumn’. Hey, that’s a good idea! You … Continue reading Good Flag: Richmond, Virginia
While I assume Albuquerque is a wonderful place (Weird Al fans will remember this town), its flag is not. First, we have the Zia sun symbol on the flag, and it makes it look like Albuquerque just zoomed in on New Mexico’s flag and reversed the colors. Not very good. Then we have the text below, and that makes it look casual, like the font … Continue reading Bad Flag: Albuquerque, New Mexico
This is probably the best city flag in all of Russia. And I mean all. If you don’t know why a bear is manhandling an atom on the flag, here is the city history of Zhleznogorsk (whew!). Zhleznogorsk was founded for one purpose and one purpose only: weapons-grade plutonium. It was the 50s, WWII was over, and the USA was at the beginning of the … Continue reading Good Flag: Zhleznogorsk, Russia
I can see three things wrong with this flag. First, there is a seal, and you already know how I feel about those… Second, they didn’t even bother making the seal a perfect circle, and just an awkward oval. And finally, we have the strange, 70s computer font text around the image in the center (although it does make sense because the flag was made … Continue reading Bad Flag: Rochester, Minnesota
While this flag is good, I will now loathe the government of Chattanooga, Tennessee for the rest of my life for changing their city flag from this (above), To this: However, this hatred could be eradicated if you just reverted the flag… Continue reading Good Flag: Chattanooga, Tennessee (1913-2012)
This is not an old California state flag, this is from when they were a country. And while it is a digital reproduction, that still doesn’t dismiss the blandness of the flag… First, we have the bear and the star be about the same size as each other, and that is HIGHLY disproportionate. Then, we have that ugly shade of red at the bottom, and … Continue reading Bad Flag: California Republic(.)
The North Caucasian Emirate (1919-20) was just one of several countries that existed and then fizzled out while Russia was in crisis from the uprisings, and on the cusp of becoming the USSR. You can see why I chose this because there is a smiley face on there! Aaaaaaaaaaand that is all I have to say about this flag. See ya! Continue reading Good Flag: North Caucasian Emirate
There are a couple things to talk about this flag First, we have the unnecessary white and black stripes. My life, however, is now dedicated to not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but instead figuring out why the black stripe is slightly thinner than the white stripe. Are they telling us something? Are they saying the White Stripes are supreme? Is it just a mistake … Continue reading Bad Flag: Brunei
Like Nauru, this is a good Oceania flag, and it also contains yellow and blue. The only caveat is that the yellow circle symbolizes the moon, not the sun, which makes it confusing… Continue reading Good Flag: Palau
There is a whole load of things wrong with this flag. First up, we have the duotone color scheme. The white usage on this flag makes it looks like it’s a stamp, not a flag for a famous city… Secondly, ‘Carolopolis’???? While I was downloading the flag, I happened to notice this word etched in the center. Carolopolis is only a word applied to good … Continue reading Bad Flag: Charleston, South Carolina
