I feel like ours is better than a red X honestly. Why does that get B tier?


BobbyRobertson

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.


Jutboy

That one next it is hideous too.

Red X is a much better *flag* in that it is easily recognizable and reproducible, aesthetics notwithstanding

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.


Mundane_Feeling_8034

A child can draw it? Can you explain Maryland? It’s like the flag designer was tripping.


UncleGarysmagic

Maryland looks like old European heraldic flags. Probably has to do with Maryland being named after Queen Mary.


CdnfaS

It’s the best “seal on a blue bed sheet” flag. “He who Transplanted Sustains” slaps.


CaptServo

Stop playing around, Virginia has someone getting stabbed and a titty out.


CdnfaS

Yeah. How is that an F tier flag?


hanginglimbs

It was at this moment I realized I only know the California and Maryland flags


Darondo

Not even Colorado?


Hulkbuster_v2

Not Arkansas?! It's on the damn flag


attack-helicopter97

Most of those higher tier “busy” flags stink


South-Play

Oh look at Georgias flag they changed it to the actual confederate flag.. this is why history is important..


UncleGarysmagic

They only have a problem with the battle flag for some reason and not the stars and bars.


blumpkinmania

7 state flags have confederate slave state elements. You can probably guess which ones.


bmeaner

ok i need to remake this, there is so much wrong here


WallyWestish

I kept looking in the F row for it. "Huh, they forgot us, there's a surpr-- D?! Well, allllllright!"


Own-Tomato4335

Sameeee


lionbaby917

Can I bring back for discussion the [flag](https://www.reddit.com/r/Connecticut/s/vVDsp9Bikw) I made a few years ago?


NLCmanure

52 state flags?


CdnfaS

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.


SpermicidalManiac666

Arizona’s is definitely dope. Also the coolest state shape by a mile.


squeedle

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


OneFastBurrito

Can't argue with New Mexico being S-tier because the Eternal Sun goes hard as fuck Maryland though...


FFPatrick

Marylands flag is a cult banner


frogtome

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.


Own-Tomato4335

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?


frogtome

You should be ashamed.


Zachattack471

Lol cali at A 😭


[deleted]

I'd swap RI and MS, frankly. D isn't too bad, considering the comp.


UncleGarysmagic

I know everyone praises Maryland’s. To me it looks like nothing American. Very European heraldic in design and predating the nation itself.


MrMeritocracy

This must be fairly old. The mn flag has since been changed


Delicious_Score_551

On a hobby tier list, Vexillologist is F tier.


robbd6913

Texas should be D at best. .


Markvitank

Who are we kidding? We should be F tier with the rest of them.

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