The Swiss flag IS a big plus!
Looks like a sign for Taco Bell or maybe a budget motel.
A square is just a special case of rectangle. Also, the Vatican flag is square, too.
When or where does a beehive ever look like the ones in this thread?
I think I just answered my question by looking at the wiki page for beehive and I found mention of a “bee skep” and that indeed looks like what is in this thread. Skeps were baskets that were turned upside down.
Utah - Bee Skep State.
I get mocked for the time we were driving through the countryside and I asked if those white buildings were sleeping quarters for migrant workers. So now, when we see bee boxes, “oh look, migrant workers” (which, in fact, they are).
While we’re replacing boring state flags, Vermont’s seal-on-a-blanket should be replaced by this historic banner, which is already the battle flag of the Vermont National Guard:
Wasn’t there some right wing pundit who got bent out of shape back in 2008 when Obama was campaigning in Ohio, and the stage had all these Ohio “O” flags? He thought Obama was flying his own personal flag?
ETA: It was Bob Grant. Proof that Obama wanted to be a dictator.
Maybe those NFL personal intro clips they show at the start of a televised game where each player states his name and alma mater should be changed:
Jonas Johnson. The Obama State.
Cue RW heads asploding from coast to coast. 
Update: Governor signed the law on Tuesday.
Interesting article from WaPo (gift link)
I bought one of those on eBay, because I collect bear-related items.
A good article, not least for the link to the Laser-Kiwi.
Y’know, it doesn’t look as bad on cloth. Maybe being an actual flag makes it look less like a corporate logo.
On first glance I thought Rhode Island’s said
NOPE
–G!
Well, Rhode Island was the last state to ratify…
The Zia on the New Mexico flag is the sacred symbol of Zia Pueblo. It’s the Pueblo equivalent of an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The state has been sued by the Pueblo.
Just got back from a visit to Deer Valley. Looked, but did not see the new flag.
On a high school tour of the state capitol in Salem, the tour guide was showing us the large bronze state seal in the rotunda floor. Naturally, I asked, “If that is the seal, where are its flippers?” Well trained, she responded, “I don’t know about its flippers, but,” pointing to the douglas firs depicted on the side, “there’s its bark.”
Sounds like you’re the one who received the bite! 
CGP Grey’s take on the state flags (I’d inline it, but I guess embedded YouTube links are still broken)
The new Utah flag gets S-tier (the top).
His North Carolina ranking is totally biased. You shouldn’t get around the “putting your name on the flag is an automatic fail” by using the initials instead. Doesn’t deserve more than an FB if he was being fair.
I thought it was funny–my state was the worst.
