Michigan's has similarities to Pennsylvania's...

And then there's Connecticut.

Texas - Obviously. I like the fact we incorperated the Bonnie Blue design onto the flag.

Maryland's Flag - I don't know what it is about it but I like it.

South Carolina - I've come to really like their flag. However, when we played the University of South Carolina in a bowl game two years back I was a little shocked to see their state flag laid on the ground.

Maryland's flag is kind of busy; but, it is also distinct.

The same goes for Arizona, my brothers and sisters to the east.

Indiana, Alaska and South Carolina are also neat 'cause they're different.

For those who love trivia: the flag of Maryland is the only state flag which properly has a cross at the top, not a ball.





The quadrants symbolize the paternal & maternal sides of George Calvert, First Lord of Baltimore, and the original colonist of Maryland.

True no oranges or Disney.
But one does have to wonder if Disney in one way or another is the reason that is flag which was used during the War between the States that the NAACP has not yet protested.

Why in the world would Disney be related to that?

There could be historical reasons, Tallahassee was the only Confederate capital to never be taken over by the Union.

Also no major battles were fought in Florida. And slavery was quite different Florida than in most of the South. Mostly due to the Spanish influence which heavily encourage manumission. But of course it was still slavery.

Yes, I'm biased.


I really like the flag of the state of California. It just doesn't look like any other flag in the union and it harkens back to a time when, for a very brief moment, we were our own Republic. And Cuffy (the bear) is just cool.
