Bhutan would have had the best flag if someone colored it in.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Seconding Seychelles, such a cool flag.

State flag, but: Marylandโ€™s got an absolute banger, imo.

Vietnam:

Angola:

Nepal for originality:

[-] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

I thought the Angola flag looked bad ass so I looked the country up on Wikipedia. This struck me as a bit odd.

"Angola achieved independence in 1975 as a one-party Republic, but the country descended into a devastating civil war the same year, between the ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), backed by the Soviet Union and Cuba; the insurgent National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, an originally Maoist and later anti-communist group supported by the United States and South Africa"

That is odd, aaand now I have to do a deep dive on the Angolan civil war, great. Lol

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

The flag of Switzerland is always a plus.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The flag of the Chinook Nation is one I recall seeing and thinking it was very unique, memorable, and aesthetically pleasing.

I also like the trident on the flag of Barbados.

Edit: fixed link

Thinking outside the box: Nepal ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต

Can anyone verify if Kyrgyztan is indeed, full of gamers?

[-] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 17 points 3 weeks ago

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. ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

The Welsh flag was my favourite as a kid!

I agree these are good, the others were not though. I'd like to add to consideration:

  • Argentina ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท

  • Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

  • Japan ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

In particular, Argentina is, if not the best national flag, at least my personal favorite.

Someone else mentioned Seychelles, so I'll also throw in the rather awesome, Jamaica:

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

To my knowledge, Jamaica's is the only national flag to not contain red, white or blue.

Flag of Iran, or the flag of the Kingdom of Hejaz (gone). Nothing political about those choices in particular, i just think their flags are the prettiest.

[-] no_username@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

Iran flag is peak design.

really pushing the tricolour to new levels.

those stylised letters really give them a cool aesthetic. regardless of what's written. peak graphic design.

[-] VirgilMastercard@reddthat.com 9 points 3 weeks ago

Flags of communist countries have always been awesome. USSR, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, East Germany

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago

I can't find it, but there's a cool infographic / image that has all of them. I could only find one for the hammer and sickle variations:

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I really like the ones that dared to be different and show what working class means to their area.

[-] VirgilMastercard@reddthat.com 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Nepal is my favourite. Most iconic hammer and sickle IMO

I always loved Angola. I also appreciate the minimalistic design of Japan.

[-] anon5621@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

The old one is also seen as as bad as the flag of Nazi Germany in East and Southeast Asia. Imperial Japan was extremely brutal, and the use of the rising sun flag in modern times is a symbol of fascism in Japan, like the swastika.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

All that aside, just based on looks alone, way better flag. The other flag of the emperor with the chrysanthemum is cool too, but I'm sure that one is seen similarly.

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Wales no doubt.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.
