The Great Flag Debate of Utah (now moved on to additional states, currently IL)

But then they have to change it again in a few years.

Just make the blue stripe a bit thinner each year.

OK, here is my flag design after the legislators get done with it.

In fact, I have discovered that one of the finalists was similar to what I was suggesting. I like this better than their choice. I might make the shade of orange a tad darker and redder, closer to the images of Navajo sandstone above.

I quite like that one indeed, too. I suppose in the final choice someone as mentioned above went for the beehive=honeycomb=hexagon thing and that someone else figured that plain red would be easier to deal with.

Then, what, soup maybe?

Gazpacho

But you don’t NEED a mug for gazpacho! A mug is for hot liquid so you don’t burn your fingers!

Maybe one of those mug-cakes you make in the microwave…

Canada’s provincial flags are full of complex coats of arms and Union Jacks. Keep them simple like Quebec or Newfoundland that any child could draw.

That’s why we says “it’s muggy” when it’s hot and humid.

Maryland. A very difficult flag to draw.

Yeah, but which province has the absolute best license plate?

The new flag is an improvement on Utah’s current boring banner, but I liked a simpler version that was among the proposed replacements:

ETA, since the link isn’t displaying the image, it’s the same as the new one, except the stylized mountains and Great Salt Lake behind the beehive are replaced by four triangles, the top one blue, the bottom red, and the two sides white, whose points converge at the golden beehive.

It is the only one that is burgee-shaped.

Excellent! NWT has that too. Or, had. A funny thing is that one cannot drive to Nunavut.

Just one of its several charms.

Technically, it’s a swallowtail pennant. Some time back, I got to wondering how many non-rectangular flags were in use among the countries and their 1st level subdivisions. Nepal is the only country with one, it being a combination of two triangles with different dimensions. Ohio was the only non-rect state/province flag I could find, but it’s possible I could have missed one.

Oh! Someone just has to do one of those “Quran Project” videos asking random folks on the street in the US about the different flags and seeing how many freak out about Islam being in the country.

You missed one - the Swiss flag is square, not rectangular.
