Bangladesh is so fucking asymmetric
WHY
Any flag that cucks itself by having the union jack on it. Looking at you Oz/NZ… It’s time to move on.
For sure! I’m an Aussie and I wanna get rid of that shit. Not just because I’m a major sci fi nerd (well, a big reason) but I’ve always been partial to the Aussie flag as depicted in Event Horizon.
The Torres Straight Islands flag is pretty bad. It looks like a cats arsehole.
Brazil. Mostly because it has text. Actually, reading about the flag and its history has made me appreciate it more. FUCK! I’m changing my answer to Malaysia for copying my country’s flag.
Morocco has the worst colour scheme. Low contrast makes the star disappear when viewing from far away.
Bosnia’s is fire wdym
Four bars is already too many, adding a big red line down the middle is not helping, and tbh if you took away the star it’d at least be symmetrical.
If your flag is gonna be busy, at least be creative and put like a dragon or something on it.
Sorry CAR.
Yours obviously. Terrible design and awful colour choice. Not completely surprising from such a backwards country but I have to admit you raised the ugliness bar to a whole new level. Matches well with your ridiculous anthem and your stupid traditions (incest and cannibalism are still a thing I’ve heard).
My country on the other hand… now that’s some nice flag design: good palette, great inspiration, high symbolic value. Very nice. Pairs well with our melodic anthem and our respectable traditions (like ritual ‘feast of the elders’ and ceremonial family acts of love)
Basically any flag that’s just 3 colored bars. They’re so boring and there are so many that it’s hard to even differentiate them.
Flags should say something about your country.
They do, the colors usually have some meaning attached. Also, as a kid, would you rather draw Bhutan’s flag or Ukraine’s?
I would 100% pick Bhutan’s flag as a kid. Flags should be simple but come on, that dragon is awesome.
Um Dragon flag definitely! Easy to draw is not on my list of criteria.
Also, I know the colors usually have meaning, it’s just so boring.
When i was a kid, Ukrainian flag looked much better
A cross isn’t exactly that much better tbh. So you are or used to be some kind of Christian country. Great.
Believe it or not that does actually narrow it down quite a bit.
Australia & New Zealand. The two are too similar and IMO keeping the Union Jack on your flag while being an independent nation adds to the confusion. Canada had the right idea with the maple leaf.
This.
Bloody Aussies stole out shitty design.
Ha at least you had the chance to change your flag. I don’t think Australia ever got as close as New Zealand did to changing it.
True
… And then there’s Hawaii.
All the tricolor ones. At least put something there ffs, Serbia and Slovakia did and it’s still not great but much better.
Mexico and Argentina, too.
Wales.
There’s something seriously wrong with that dragon.
It’s got a tail as its tongue, a hook-nose, fluffy ears,
an air cushion frontal neck, a fishnet back neck
and a look so annoyed that
if flag dragons could talk I’d swear it would say
“Don’t look at me, my mom put me up for this”.Lol. At least the flag improved a bit.
Modern
Ye Olde one
At least it has a dragon. Scotland’s flag is sorely missing a unicorn, and others are lacking in mythical creatures too :-/
At least it has a dragon.
I’ll give you that.
But still, if you’re gonna make a flag with a dragon on it,
don’t make it look like a botched art restoration.Same goes for Bhutan by the way,
which is the most awesome dragon flag in the world,
holding dragonballs and all that,
but then they forgot to color it in.I this nk the Bhutan flag might be one of the best real flags I’ve ever seen!
Thanks for putting me onto that, lol
Tie. Poland and Indonesia.
But you like Monaco, right?
Of course, that one’s awesome!
TIL
Not Romania and Chad?
Maybe Ireland and Ivory Coast?
Close tie between America and UK, both horrible color choices
The worst part of the UK flag is they didn’t put a dragon on it.
Well at least the Welah kept it as their nation’s flag.
Dragons in old English stories too so it’s not even specifically a Welsh thing. Just another reason to have one on the UK flag.
I’d have to dig into the archives but all of Britain was once the Welsh, till the ‘English’ invaders pushed them into the pocket of land they are in now. I wonder if the Union Jack specifically left off the dragon, as to not recognize the welsh folk lore, or claim of an independent group like the rest of flags on it
Which invasion? There were a few… To say it was all Welsh seems a bit odd. Everywhere has been invaded at least a few times.
I think the most well known ones here would be Roman, Anglo Saxon, Viking and Norman.
Its in the old hiatory books. The Welsh were from the Original Celtic Britons of the Iron age. Before the ‘new’ invaders.

See the red part. Now that’s all squished into the western tiny zone after the various invaders drove them into it
I think it’s a rule that countries that have been conquered by the french have to use those colours.
What about all the other flags that use those same colours?
Norway just subscribed to this thread
Well one of them was based on the other…
But hey, don’t hate on our 400+ year old colour choice! 🇳🇱
Best flag is Estonia’s
Worst flag is Fiji
