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.
All that aside, just based on looks alone, way better flag. The other flag of the emperor with the chrysanthemum is cool too, but I’m sure that one is seen similarly.
Sychelles:
Bhutan:
Bhutan would have had the best flag if someone colored it in.
it’s cheating of you put a dragon.
where’s buthan-Wales dragon alliance?
Seconding Seychelles, such a cool flag.
The colors are great there, it works surprisingly well.
I like Canada 🇨🇦, Wales 🏴 and Bhutan 🇧🇹
this one 🏳️⚧️
Curious flag, looks like a cream-filled candy cross section
I quite like the flag of Tanzania
And also Nauru, which is really helpful of you want to remember which hemisphere Nauru is (just barely) located on
State flag, but: Maryland’s got an absolute banger, imo.
These uniforms go Hard AF
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.
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.
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”
That is odd, aaand now I have to do a deep dive on the Angolan civil war, great. Lol
The flag of Switzerland is always a plus.
Despite its connotations the USA flag is pretty good.
Eh, honestly it’s, like, functional (you can recognize it and draw a facsimile of it in 3 minutes with two pens). I wouldn’t call “it pretty good”.
Thinking outside the box: Nepal 🇳🇵

I agree these are good, the others were not though. I’d like to add to consideration:
-
Argentina 🇦🇷
-
Canada 🇨🇦
-
Japan 🇯🇵
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.
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.
Iirc this was designed by a committee somewhat recently, yes? Now it’s on bags and walls and flying proudly. Good job, Chicago.
April 4! But, uh, of AD 1917, so not that recently.
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
Say what you will about the country, I have my fair share of criticism regarding Canada and would agree that we are, on the whole, cringe. But our flag? It’s a good flag. I don’t care what you think.
The flag of Canada is perfect.

Nobody has mentioned Kyrgyzstan yet
Can anyone verify if Kyrgyztan is indeed, full of gamers?
The holy boule ball
The flag of the Chinook Nation is one I recall seeing and thinking it was very unique, memorable, and aesthetically pleasing.
I also like the trident on the flag of Barbados.
