New Minnesota Flag

The flag of Miami appears to just be the flag of India with a seal pasted on. Not a good flag.

Here is some more perspective from JJ McCullough.  His main point seems to be this:  in the name of eradicating humdrum same-looking flags, but through dogmatic adherence to an arbitrary set of good-flag-making rules, we are instead ending up with differently same-looking flags—and not only is that not actually a real improvement, but in fact disallowing bizarre and quirky flag designs effectively funnels the chosen designs into being stale and un-unique.

What was your feeling on the old Libyan flag?

A little too far in my opinion—but still better than the Austrian battle flag, which is a white eagle on a white background with a white border.

Joke, right?  Not seeing an all-white flag on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Austrian_flags, and there are many eagles but they're pretty much all black.

Right.

Yes, although note that all white flags have had uses other than parley or surrender in the past:  old regime France.

No lie, I used to do double-takes when I'd see the City of Miami flag. The colors are shared with University of Miami, and New Delhi is nearly at the same latitude, but culturally there's close to zero overlap between the two. We grow oranges, and there's lots of green...and just went with that.

Didn't Liechtenstein and Haiti have the same flag for many years? There's only so much choice with two-bar and tri-bar/color designs, so it's entirely possible to be unaware of your choice for years before the advent of encyclopedia salesmen.
