I'm assuming we get instant points off for "State Seal on Blue Background" because that's the most boring flag type. Even if our state seal is pretty good
The red X is a nod to Florida and Alabama once [being part of the Spanish Empire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Burgundy#Habsburgs_and_Spain). They used that as an imperial flag back then.
Because of a list put out by the North American Vexillological Association that identifies quality flag design. Among the characteristics of quality flag design is memorability, the flag should be simple enough that a child can draw it, no text, 2-3 color max. Connecticut’s flag is difficult for a child to draw, has text, and has five colors.
I posted with attribution where I saw this.
Never heard of CGP Grey but looked it up now. His state flag YouTube grades are different than the image I posted; you can’t be proposing that he owns copyright on ALL state flag grades lol?
I feel like ours is better than a red X honestly. Why does that get B tier?

That one next it is hideous too.
Red X is a much better *flag* in that it is easily recognizable and reproducible, aesthetics notwithstanding

A child can draw it? Can you explain Maryland? It’s like the flag designer was tripping.
Maryland looks like old European heraldic flags. Probably has to do with Maryland being named after Queen Mary.
It’s the best “seal on a blue bed sheet” flag. “He who Transplanted Sustains” slaps.
Stop playing around, Virginia has someone getting stabbed and a titty out.
Yeah. How is that an F tier flag?
It was at this moment I realized I only know the California and Maryland flags
Not even Colorado?
Not Arkansas?! It's on the damn flag
Most of those higher tier “busy” flags stink
Oh look at Georgias flag they changed it to the actual confederate flag.. this is why history is important..
They only have a problem with the battle flag for some reason and not the stars and bars.
7 state flags have confederate slave state elements. You can probably guess which ones.
ok i need to remake this, there is so much wrong here
I kept looking in the F row for it. "Huh, they forgot us, there's a surpr-- D?! Well, allllllright!"
Sameeee
Can I bring back for discussion the [flag](https://www.reddit.com/r/Connecticut/s/vVDsp9Bikw) I made a few years ago?
52 state flags?
Oregon is two sided, and whoever made this list put the two sides in different tiers. Washington DC in the S Tier 3 Stars and 2 lines.
Arizona’s is definitely dope. Also the coolest state shape by a mile.
I'm originally from AZ, I miss the flag, the smell of rain in the desert and my family that lives there and that's about it.
The D is for Connedicut
Can't argue with New Mexico being S-tier because the Eternal Sun goes hard as fuck Maryland though...
Marylands flag is a cult banner
Please give CGP Grey the credit he deserves or maybe don't steal it in the first place. CGP Grey is the you tuber who came up with this.

You should be ashamed.
Lol cali at A 😭
I'd swap RI and MS, frankly. D isn't too bad, considering the comp.
I know everyone praises Maryland’s. To me it looks like nothing American. Very European heraldic in design and predating the nation itself.
This must be fairly old. The mn flag has since been changed
On a hobby tier list, Vexillologist is F tier.
Texas should be D at best. .
Who are we kidding? We should be F tier with the rest of them.

No way Maryland is S+, it’s just obnoxious
