Wyoming's flag is cool, although the buffalo is pretty placid looking. Thankfully it doesn't have the ubiquitous buckin' bronco on it, which "Brokeback Mountain" has given a whole new meaning to.

Arizona has a nice flag too. It was easy to draw in grade school.

Oregon has had the best state quarter so far. The BIG O, eh?

I'm partial to the Ca. flag.

My favorite flag is the Skull and Crossbones. "Arrrggghhhh!"

For US flags The Texas flag is my favourite...

From Australia, Northern Territory.
The Southern Cross, brown representing the barren desert, and a single Desert Sturt petal.

For drawing (as in a grade school project), I like the US, Alabama, Texas, New Mexico , and Arizona, flags. For being different, Ohio's pennant is worth noting.
Not sure if I should take pride in, or resent, that the Alabama flag looks too much like my signature.

That's what prompted me to start this thread. Illinois' state flag is really unimaginative. The sad thing is, if there was a state-wide outcry for a new state flag - the new one would have Lincoln's mug on it. Not to run down our 16th president, but they kind of have a one-track mind in Springfield when it comes to this state's historical significance. It all starts and ends with Lincoln.

I've always like the California Bear Flag. Then again, I was born and raised there and never really saw other flags.

Yeah, I know, another Texan voting for the Texas flag. But as far as I am concerned it is head and shoulders above the others. I mean, what other state was actually it's own country for ten years? Oh, that's right, none...

PS - the only flag I think comes close is Ohio's - great design.

Whats with Puerto Rico being on the list, thats ridiculous... They don't want to be a part of the US by popular vote...

I vote for MT, neither of those sites show the actual detail on the flag and the one site is completley incorrect in it's display anyway.

Not sure why they're listing it as a state. Only two things I can think of...
1) Someone thinks they can sell a bunch of PR flags for PR imigrants to wave about on holidays or at MLB games
OR
2) Ricky Ricardo has something to do with it.

Luuuuucy! Splane to me why the P.R. flag is listed as a U.S. state flag.

Seriously, he was Cuban.
