I’m ranking all the state flags starting with the worst. Ohio is #50, because it’s visually busy and none of the design elements compliment each other
49. Mississippi since it’s racist
48. Minnesota worst seal design
47. Maine, the people on this flag look 40s comics characters that weren’t colored properly
46. West Virginia another strange and bad seal
45. Wisconsin is just plain ugly. State name plus the founding year is a killer combo
44. North Dakota for its awkward & poorly drawn eagle
43. Montana, Yellow text, bad seal
42. Idaho’s deal doesn’t have a bad art style, but too much is going on in such a small space
41. Connecticut, one of the more minimalistic seals, but it’s unfocused
40. Washington state’s green is a bold choice, but the overall effect is abrasive
39. Michigan another boring seal, but the deer give it a nice symmetry
38. New Hampshire the boat is nice, but too many rings
37. Kansas, area inside the seal looks okay, but the yellow text holds this back
36. Pennsylvania the horses look good
35. Utah the eagle and hive are striking and distinctively Utahn
34. Virginia a nice and simple seal
33. Kentucky just two guys having a good time
32. Missouri the fact this is a tricolor puts it above the other seal flags
31. Vermont this almost looks like a professional artist was involved
30. Nevada they had something going here, but seal should either be centered or smaller
29. Nebraska stands out from the other seal flags for its simplified color scheme
28. South Dakota managed to pick colors that go together
27. New Jersey, there’s a lot going on, but it’s clean and makes sense when put together
26. North Carolina, the Poorman’s Texas flag
25. Georgia, direct reference to the flag of the confederate government
24. Delaware, a cute wholesome seal flag
23. Oregon has a cute beaver on the other side
22. Iowa, they just put their seal on the French flag and changed the ratio of the colors
21. Arkansas, sure there’s text, but it’s centered and the focal point, so big ups compared to most of these text flags
20. Florida put a big red x over it’s seal
19. Massachusetts a good minimalistic seal, white is a good choice
18. Alabama just ripped off the old Spanish flag, respect the grift
17. New York, excelsior
16. Illinois, I have a soft spot for the white flags
15. Indiana the first flag, I’ve discussed that is unqualified good. I’ve been grading on a heavy curve, so far
14. Hawai’i, there’s just something fun about it
13. Oklahoma, if all they seal flags were this good, I wouldn’t hate them
12. Louisiana’s pelican is cool
11. Rhode Island’s flag has a powerful energy
10. Wyoming has a good flag, held back by terrible seal placement
9. South Carolina looks great and is iconic
8. California, You know it, you love it. It’s been on everything from t shirts to flat brims
7. New Mexico is bright and mesmerizing
6. Texas, the legendary flag of the lone star state
