    Apologies in advance if I’m doing this wrong. But the 1890 national flag of China was badass. Check out the current Welsh flag though, I’d say it’s close. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

      It kind of disappoints me that Wales ruins the standard:flag system in the Home Nations though, if they were to be included in the Union Flag I’d want to see it be the St. David’s Cross with the dragon going on the Royal Standard where France used to be

    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.

        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:

        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.

      There is something about the aesthetics of Greenland’s flag I just really like. It’s simple but pleasing on the eyes. Maybe the way that the circle is offset, rather than centered.

      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.
