No mention of Ohio’s wacky pennant?

Every state that has the state seal on a blue (or white) background should be smacked. That is not a good flag.

Meanwhile, Canadian province and territory flags. Most of them are alright.
City flags, on the other hand, suck.

It’s equally bad with a green background.

We don’t have a flag, we have
a Burgee and it is perfect.

You mean, Ohio’s blantant rip off of Cuba?

I’m biased, but Arizona’s flag is pretty badass. Consistently Republican state or communist militant group?

It’s definitely one of the good ones.

When it comes to New Mexico, native New Mexicans have a thing for tattooing themselves with the Z ia symbol (as found in the flag) . Does that happen elsewhere, or just here?

I like the Hawaiian flag, for some reason.
It’s history is very interesting too.
Our county flag is pretty meh really , flowers and water.
Our motto is pretty good,
‘Ad montes oculus levavi’.
‘I lift mine eyes to the mountains’.
Our city coat of arms is very heraldic.
‘Be Just And Fear Not’, taken from Shakespeares Henry VIII Act 3 scene 2.
Wolsey says,
Love thyself last; cherish those hearts that hate thee.
Corruption wins not more than honesty.
Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace
To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not.
Let all the ends thou aim’st at be thy country’s,
Thy God’s, and truth’s. Then if thou fall’st, O Cromwell,
Thou fall’st a blessèd martyr!
Serve the King.

That would be a strictly New Mexico thing, I think. Both my cousins that grew up around Santa Fe have that tattoo... It’s a cool symbol but c’mon.

Colorado has a pretty good flag but there is something about it that makes it look like a corporate logo. It does lend itself to merchandise branding pretty easily as well.

Factoring in meaning of the Zia symbol and I kind of get it , especially up North. T he prevalence of people I know who have a Zia tattoo in Southern NM still puzzles me, especially since most of these folks have only lived down South. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a happy camper in Southern NM, but it is different down here. Of the three cultures that make up NM, only two are present in the South, and even the Hispanic culture is different down here from up North.
My favorite NM tattoo practice was all the folks ( often gang related) who tattooed themselves with “505" as a similar mark of NM pride referring to the area code. This caused problems for some folks when NM starting running out of numbers and had to add a second area code about 10 years ago . M ost of the state switched to the 575 area code ago with b asically only Albuquerque and Santa Fe and NW NM keeping the 505 area code.

If you were to group and grade them like mentioned in the video how many would be given an A and how many would fail?
![]() 11/01/2018 at 11:13 |

Quick count says 4 A’s and 32 F’s. States better hope I decide to grade on a curve, or say something like “none of your shitty seal on a blue field flags get an F as long as Mississippi and Georgia are still flying Confederate flags”.
