Holy smokes, CVT, this flag is one heck of a cesspool! Coal Valley Township’s Wikipedia page does not have a lot about the town, other than some stuff like population, the Quad Cities Airport being partly located here, and the town being named for–you guessed it–the nearby coal mines. What it looks like to me is a sign posted outside of a generic preschool. Except … Continue reading Bad Flag: Coal Valley Township, Illinois
‘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
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(.)
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
This flag was used in the Battle of Gonzales, which was in the Texas Revolution, a war in which Texas (an independent country then) fought against Mexico, and the latter lost. This flag looks like it’s fake, but it’s so real. And that is my main factor in choosing this flag. I’ll even forgive the words, which probably contribute to the bad-boy nature of this … Continue reading Good Flag: Come and Take It Flag (Historical)
Until Illinois decides to dump their old flag, Minnesota is the most recently-changed state flag. Having been adopted in May 2024, this flag certainly qualifies as a young-un! I say the flag is controversial because many people (especially Minnesotans) haven’t been taking the flag too kindly. People think that the flag is too simple, or shows nothing about the heritage, or wrongfully freaked out when … Continue reading Good-but-sort-of-controversial Flag: Minnesota
This flag of a French territory is used on the island of St. Pierre, and it’s so bad that even the island of Miquelon-Langlade’s flag features a bird destroying the hoist (left) side. Yeesh… Continue reading Bad Flag: St. Pierre and Miquelon
