Responses:

My general starting criteria for a decent flag is if a 1st grader could reasonably draw it. (This eliminates pretty much all of them that have a seal.) - Ender Sep 6, 12:00 1
- I think by those criteria, Alaska automatically wins (since it was drawn by a child). -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 12:10
Hipsters wear the CA flag T-shirt lately... but it is pretty cool. Also, I like South Carolina's. Seems evocative and peaceful. - con_carne Sep 6, 11:52
~ eight stars of gold on a field of blue - Alaska's flag. May it mean to you. ~ Subpoll: does your state have a flag SONG? Did you have to learn it? -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 6, 11:45 3
- no, just the state song which I learned and do not remember, "Oregon, My Oregon" - znufrii Sep 6, 11:53 1
  - "Unlike two other similarly named state songs�"Maryland, My Maryland" and "Michigan, My Michigan"�" - znufrii Sep 6, 11:54
- probably not, and no. (referring to the MA state flag, since MA is where I spent most of my childhood) -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 11:50
Oregon and Wisconsin are brutal. -- nm - TFox Sep 6, 11:44 7
- We have a beaver on the back! -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 6, 12:11
- Wisconsin looks like my computer couldn't find the font, so it chose a random crappy font for displaying the letters -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 11:48
- hey, you got to give Oregon credit for originality for being the only flag with two different sides to it - znufrii Sep 6, 11:45 4
  - Is the other side roadkill? -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 11:55 3
    - Only when playing Sacramento State - Will Hunting Sep 6, 11:56 2
      - :) -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 12:00
      - heh -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 11:58
I was looking at this the other day, and realised that Georgia didn't put the Stars & Bars on their state flag until 1956. - Roger More Sep 6, 11:42
We've got a bear on our flag. Beat that! -- nm - Stephen Sep 6, 11:41 4
- heh heh heh -- nm - Redmond si Sep 6, 11:43
- we've got SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS! ... and a circle of red flowers. - loosilu Sep 6, 11:43 2
  - and a dead guy, so there is that -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 11:45
  - Flowers on a state flag = huge fail! -- nm - Stephen Sep 6, 11:44
I've always liked the stripe pattern on Hawaii and the non-traditional shape of Ohio's flag -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 11:41 1
- I've also always liked the end stripe on Tennessee and the field of green for Washington -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 11:43
Colorado's....and shockingly, Rhode Island's flag is smallest. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 11:40
When did Indiana join the EU? -- nm - muzungu psilotum Sep 6, 11:39 2
- We were here first. - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:41
- I like New Mexico's flag quite a bit. -- nm - muzungu psilotum Sep 6, 11:41
Best: AZ. Worst: the 50% of state flags that consist of the state seal on a blue field. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 11:37
I like that our flag was pretty much usead as the Gotham City flag by Tim Burton. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:37
