People, it's not the union jack, it's the union flag. Unless you're all sailing that is, then it's the Union Jack.

Are we allowed to mention historical flags? If so, Prussia definetly had one of the sexiest flags around, as did Mysore.

In modern times, the Welsh flag is rather nifty. It has a dragon!

we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

The best flag is the Dutch one and the worst is the flag of Luxembourg.

Like your flag is any better. It actually has symbolism into it. Quite frankly, it was pretty revolutionary for its time. I don't recall any other nation prior to 1776 that had stars in their flags which symbolized each of the colonies.


Yea, cause a flag with stars on it that represents something is truly revolutionary. :eyebrow:

Best: British and American flags.

Worst: Definitely Libya and Isle of Man

The old Soviet Union flag was pretty cool, too (even though I hate the Soviet Union itself).

Also, lol at all the people trolling about how much the American flag sucks.

It's not trolling. The U.S. flag looks crappy because it got messed up when they tried to cram in too many stars for the new states. The original design was much better back when it was just 13 stars.

The Best must be East Germany, but if you want some national flags from today, the DPRK rocks balls. The worst is German, since all they basically did was rip off the flag of the GDR, and removed the coat of arms. How is lame is that, eh?

The American flag wasn't designed in the 21st or 20th Century. Therefore, it was a different time when it was created and it was meant to be symbolic. Having the stats and stripes on it is not to help retarded assholes remember the number of states and colonies, its to remember the tradition and history of the United States.



Which makes it visually unappealing.

Dude, I suggest you stock up on some history, because you'll realize that flag's been flying since before the Revolutions of 1848. The GDR slapped a coat of arms onto it where before it had none.

Brazil, Japan, Switzerland and Australia. I love the Swiss, using their cheese for the cross, and bacon for the red background! I declare them my winner.

Mmm, the Spanish flag, I love "chorizo" or "spanish sausage". But what is that yellow thing, cheese? I have never eaten cheese that way, and I live in the part of Spain where typical spanish cheese is made. Well if I put that in a pizza it would be awesome. Now I'm hungry.
