New Mexicos flag is beautiful. I'm really glad he talked about the native people and the influence they had on the flag. I'm also glad that they added the symbol to the flag in the first place. The colors work so well together and the symbol has So Much Meaning. It's got so much more punch than every other flag and it's so simple

Fun fact: the flag that most people consider the Confederate flag design is actually not the official flag of the confederacy, it is actually the confederacy's military flag, and on that note Georgia's flag is literally the first official Confederate flag just with its state seal in the corner between the stars.
Fun fact, the Confederate states adopted a flag that had the battle standard flag as part of it in 1863, which remained as part of the further revised flag adopted in 1865 till the dissolution of the Confederate states. So saying the flag that is commonly referred to as the Confederate flag today is not the actual flag is really just a technicality at best.
Fun fact: Slavery was the 8th which was the last reason the union declared war on the confederacy
the recangular flag was also the confederate navy's flag, the square version is the one actually used by the army. but it was flown on the stainless banner and the blood stained banner
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OH SHOOT THEY’RE ON TO US
Actually the rectangular one is the navy flag, if it was square it would be the battle standard
Louisiana resident here. One small correction, the blood on the pelican is not about whatever weird story you gave, it’s actually to represent New Orleans being the murder capital of the world.
I think Louisiana should go back to its original flag.

Come on, you couldn't even mention that the Oregon flag has a reverse side? That literally just had a beaver on it. And they decided to put the state seal side as the actual front part, and not the one-image symbolic one which gets relegated to being the flag of Oregon that you see in your rear view mirror as you hightail it out of there, gaslighting you into thinking the state flag wasn't actually that bad

@@Abigail_Thoma I'd agree with this sentiment if Roseburg wasn't a place that exists that nobody's done fuck all about.
Also, I feel it's important to point out that, despite our 296 miles of waterfront, there are a grand total of zero beaches. If you say, "Let's go to the beach," to an Oregonian they're going to think a plane ride is involved because Oregonians don't *want* to go to the *beach.* We *have* to go to the *coast.* Seriously. To anyone who's reading this comment right now that has been blessed with a life lived entirely outside Oregon: If you ever meet an Oregonian, ask them about Oregon's beaches and enjoy the few moments of confusion and discomfort it incites.

Updating a state flag so rarely happens because it would require many politicians to agree or for a committee to be capable of creating something not garbage.
On that note, the reason Oregon has visual diarrhea on its flag is bcuz of said committee destroyin what was a grt flag by insistin that the front half of our flag needed to have the state seal and name and yr, cuz thats what other flags did.
The back half of Oregons flag is phenomenal and its an injustice that we nvr get judged on that half bcuz no one else uses a double sided flag

I used to hate the Virginian flag because our 3rd grade social studies teacher insisted on making us draw it. And keep drawing it until we could do it from memory. She made us draw the flag, a cardinal and a dogwood blossom over and over and over and over again and kept complaining we weren't drawing good enough so we'd have to keep repeating the assignment. HOW WELL DO YOU EXPECT THE AVERAGE 8 YEAR OLD TO DRAW, MRS. ALTIZER????

As a Marylander, I think the gaudiness of our flag makes it so appealing. Like Sgt Hartmann would say, "it's so ugly it could be a modern art masterpiece." I think it's the unique nature that makes it popular. It's kinda the cult classic of state flags.
as a Pennsylvanian i think that flag belongs in ohio, aint gonna lie

As a Missourian, “the health of the people should be supreme law” is a joke. Our healthcare sucks, and meth is widely used here. I do admit that our state colors are a little uninspiring, but at least we’re not Mississippi and not having a confederate flag for almost 100 years….
The worst part is the tricolor of our flag is supposed to represent the states french origins, but they wanted to be somewhat unique so turned it on its side and ended up just making the dutch flag. Oh well, at least we can rest easy knowing one of our main cities (St Louis) has the best city flag in the entire country.

Alternate Alabama: If your flag looks like Imperial Spain's, your people act like The Habsburgs!
For Alaska, it's much more than you think. Sure you can see the Big Dipper elsewhere, but you use the Big Dipper's stars as a guide to locate Polaris (also on the flag) to locate true north. True north representing that Alaska is the northernmost state. And Big Dipper is also known as Ursa Major, Ursa meaning bear. And the bear is a creature associated with Alaska (it also represents strength). The blue background not only represents but the sky, but the alpine forget-me-not as well which is the state flower.
Coincidentally, the orphan who designed it died at age *59* from a heart attack in 1972. Alaska became a state in *1959*

As someone born and raised in South Carolina, I had always thought our flag was kinda boring, but seeing all these other flags, I now know that simplicity is sometimes better. So much better.
I agree! I'm from New Mex and currently living in Atlanta. I noticed most southern states flags are boring, similar, slightly racist and ugly. I had a neighbor that flew the American flag, and SC... I didn't know until I asked and was very surprised and delighted.
The South Carolina flag is amazing. Palmetto + crescent moon is some beautiful symbolism.
@@ferretyluv_technically_ it’s not a moon, or at least it was never intended to be one.
@@Bempes3477 It’s not? TIL. What’s it supposed to be?
@@ferretyluv well that’s a rather complicated question. I’m going to assume that you don’t know the story behind the flag in general.
Long story short, the flag was first designed by the second South Carolina regiment of the Continental Army during the revolution. The original design only consisted of the crescent with both points facing upwards on a blue background (some people also think it said “Liberty” across the bottom, but this is debated), and was made as a battle flag for Fort Sullivan, a fort that was made very hastily with whatever they could find lying around as the British were sending a fleet of 9 warships. As such, the fort was made out of nothing more than mud and palmetto logs. When the British came the tiny fort managed to successfully defend the port of Charleston, as the spongy Palmetto logs simply absorbed the cannonballs instead of splintering like most other woods. The tree has become a symbol for the entirety of SC and you’ll see it on everything around here. While it wasn’t originally on the flag that defended Charleston, it was eventually added to the flag to symbolize the fort.
As for the rest of the flag, the soldiers in the regiment needed something distinct really quickly. The flag is blue because that was the color of their uniforms, so they had a lot of fabric lying around. The crescent shape is based on a piece of metal in the same shape that was sewn onto the soldiers caps. Now there’s actually some historical debate as to what this metal piece represents. The most common theory is that it’s supposed to be reminiscent of a gorget, a piece of armor that officers would wear around their necks. Others believe it had a more symbolic meaning, which classically can have many different meanings mostly involving heraldry. Either way, it’s certainly not a moon, as much as it looks like one. Eventually it was tilted to the left and we got the flag that we have now.
The blue stripes in the Hawaiian flag is actually actually to mimic elements of the Russian flag. Essentially Hawaii didn't want to piss off anybody so they tried to have their flag be a combination of the British flag the American Flag and the Russian flag which were kind of the 3 major players Hawaii had to contend with.
And that why Hawaii is hated by everyone.
Given they're now firmly an American state they should just have Goku charging up a Kamehameha instead.
Fair play honestly

Okay, as a Utah resident (truly a terrible affliction), I would like to give an update on our situation as of April 14 2023.
As of time of writing, 43 days ago, we have chosen a new flag based more on the second design shown in the video, with the white stripe in the middle representing our snowy, mountainous geography. It actually looks great now.
That does not, however, change the fact that every other roast in this video is still completely valid as of today. I fucking hate living here, since being even mildly asthmatic in winter has me breathing heavy and with hellish headaches
If you’re “mildly asthmatic” in the winter, I think it’s time to get tf out of that state.
Honestly I've never seen the state flag of New Mexico before this video. It was neat and simple, unlike pretty much every other flag which tend to be stupidly complex and hard to look at. I'm not a big fan of simplification like that but it was done fairly well in this case, also I really hate the Yellow/Red combo but this is one of the rare cases where it suits the design very nicely. I want the other states to simplify their flags a bit. Not too much, but just enough to the point it's instantly recognizable, and it's straightforward in it's meaning. Even better if it has clever subtlety like the NM flag.
Neither did I till I moved there. Their license plates are yelloy and have the Zia symbol in the middle and I grew to love how simple it was
@@theoriginalshew Sadly, its probably the best part of this state, considering... well, everything.

@@Makafushigi Insofar as it's my country's flag, sure. Patriotic. It could have been a rat's anus and I'd feel the same. The leaf itself is meaningless to me. Vermont's got plenty of maples too. There's nothing uniquely Canadian about the red maple - there are more red maples in North America than any other native tree species, and a lot of those are south of the border.
At least the red ensign (although crappy flag in other ways) alluded to our national heritage. I could see deriving greater meaning from that. Maybe if we conquer Vermont or something and the US loses its maple state while Canada gains an 11th province to give some significance to the 11-pointed leaf... idk

When I saw the title I was wondering what you could possibly say to roast New Mexico and seeing you literally had nothing bad to say proved what i always felt that that is a damn good flag, I'm not American but I grew up in New Mexico for 18 years and that section made me feel proud for a moment.
I’m amazed he didn’t point out how weird it is that Kansas’s flag has mountains on it, when mathematicians once proved that proportionally, Kansas is literally flatter than a pancake.
That study was very poorly done
Everywhere on earth is flatter than a pancake, depending on the topographic scale you're using. Those aren't mountains on the seal anyway, they're hills, and Kansas has at least four of five good ones. Lol
@@225Perfect no. This is incorrect. Look up mount sunflower.
I always thought it to reference the Rockies, which was once at Kansas' border. Before Colorado was organized and while the Kansas territory was in it's infancy, it went to the Rockies. Some old maps still reference this. But as Nebraska and Kansas became more defined, especially as Colorado became a conceptual entity, Kansas lost it's mountains.
EDIT: Before becoming a state, the Rockies were in Kansas borders in some shape or form. Pike's Peak itself was among Kansas' most western points.

The Tennessee state flag has alot of symbolism while being simple. The three stars in the circle represent the three grand divisions of Tennessee (East, Middle, and West) and the circle represents unity between the three regions.

A lot of states have blue backgrounds because a lot of them were designed post-Civil War. Having a state flag that was distinct and unique was seen as being disloyal or elevating the state over the union as a whole. A good example of this is Maine. Maine’s previous flag is downright gorgeous, and there’s a movement to move back to it going on currently. They changed their flag because they wanted to reflect loyalty to the US.
I mean I've never seen anyone outside of government use the official Maine flag, even some public buildings have the old one underneath the new one.
That doesn’t explain Maryland, Ohio, or Rhode Island.

But there are so many neat designs that people have come up with that would work so much better than the current one.

Texas is the Lone Star State because under Spanish Mexico it was part of a province called Coahuila y Tejas, which had two stars on its flag. Texas symbolically took the star with them when it became an independent republic. I think knowing that makes the flag even cooler.
I didn’t know that, thanks for the info 🤝🤠
Also the men from the West Florida Republic marched under the banner of the Bonnie blue flag with a single star to fight for Texas, that’s why the star on the Texas flag is on a field of blue it’s a thank you. Also the original flag emblazoned with TEXAS around a five point star is quite literally the flag of the West Florida Republic. The confederacy then adopted the symbol which is why North Carolina has an almost identical flag to texas
Fun fact, there are 6 States that have bare toes on their flag
I mean, that's interesting but I hate that I know this fact is known to exist cause of foot fetishists.
The Illinois flag is so bad that my history teacher gave us an assignment to change it
You should roast every state license plate. Just make sure to show plates that have been replaced like how Tennessee changed theirs or 2022.

i genuinely like nc's first in flight tag... though the 'home of the venus flytrap' one is cool af too. people dont know that the venus flytrap can only be found in the carolinas
Texas used to have this cool design where it was a blueish desert landscape with a cowboy riding a horse and the space shuttle flying in the twilit sky. nowadays the plate is plain white and just says TEXAS. how do you drop the ball that hard?

Thank you for respecting the flag of the Empire of Ohio. However, I must fact check you funny man, the flag DOES represent something about Ohio. Ohio was the 17th state, and there are 17 stars on the flag, representing every state up to and including Ohio.
Unironically love your work though. Keep it up! I love seeing you try new things.
Im rather annoyed he pointed out how Ohio was tryin to do somethin different and yet **he didnt even show the second half of the Oregon flag** two flags later, thus ignorin how Oregon also tried to be different with our state flag >.>
You must've gotten your information mixed up, because the 17 stars actually represent the 17 people who live in ohio.
He doesn't know the history because how can we know the history of a state that doesn't exist?
Isn't the red circle in the O meant to represent a buckeye?
@@thatoneguy4584 It's actually representing the 17 people that managed to escape Ohio without returning.
31:11 can’t believe you didn’t mention that the flag proudly displays the words said by Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth, possibly in conjunction with “the south has been avenged” after jumping from the president’s box
That just a Marylander trying to tarnish Virginia
That was already Virginia's motto and on their flag before that
The pelican thing is actually an ancient belief in the Mediterranean that pelicans fed their own blood to their young. It's suggested by modern scholars that this was mistaken conflating of various other pelican behaviors because the ancients really weren't for accuracy on the natural world. Lots of medieval pelican art looked like weird geese.
A pelican, in fact, IS a weird goose.

As an amateur vexillologist, I find this video and the state flags hilarious because even rudimentary study of flags (yeah, yeah, call me a nerd and get it out of your system) would prove how little effort went into making these monstrosities. I honestly doubt half of these took more than an hour.
Also as a resident Tennesseean, glad to see Huggbees appreciate the flag.

Which one did you like most?
@@MightyMemeKing honestly, it may be a bit biased, but I like Tennessee the best, though Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico are close. I think California is good but it’s a bit complex, and flags should be easy to draw from memory or simple description

It is a great flag. Too bad the state isn't as great as it's flag.
Actually, Florida’s flag is based on the Cross of Burgundy in reference to the Spanish who first colonized the state. State logo is perplexing, though.
It does scream Confederacy a little bit, but nowhere near as Georgia’s which is literally just the Stars and Bars with its state seal.
@@BradanKlauer-xh3hm
Honestly there’s some very good alternate designs that we need to pick to replace this.
@@BradanKlauer-xh3hmyeah but the Alabama and Florida flags just look like the cross of st Patrick, a red cross shape on a white background

MINNESOTA’S GETTING A NEW FLAG FROM A DRAW THE FLAG CONTEST!!!!! Many of these entries are absolutely hilarious seeing how Minnesota’s turning into California.
As A fellow New Mexican, I can say that you can't go anywhere in NM without seeing the Zia Symbol. I appreciate the comments on the flag because, well that's how you design a freaking flag! Also, you should review all the license plates, state animals and plants. (NM's state plant is the Yucca (yuck-a, not yuook-a) and the Roadrunner is the state bird.)
Yucca.
Reviewing license plates would take a herculean effort. California has something like 75 plate variations.
@@Hiei2k7 easy... dont review the bad ones. that leaves u with like 30
@@Hiei2k7 It's much easier if you just review the default plates. I've actually seen this done a number of times before.

one good thing about the Utah flag. In middle school I had an assignment where a large part was drawing all the state flags, and I was excited when I got to Utah because even 6th grade me couldn’t draw the eagle worse than they did
I have been waiting for someone to accuse our state flag of plagiarism for at least eight years and I’m so happy you’re the one to do it.
- a female Floridian fan
I mean it makes sense, both your flags are based on the saw-toothed St. Andrew's Cross of the Spanish flag since you both were formally Spanish colonies.
Flag designer: So what is Utah known for?
Governor: Oh my, so many things! Industry, strong family valu-
Flag designer: Industry works
"WOOPS! Mississippi is last again!" That flag threw me for a loop lmao
Oregon got “diarrhea” for the state signs, and “visual diarrhea” for their flag. I’m starting to think the Oregon Country Fair took a toll on Andrew
That’s what he gets for going to an oregon county fair.
He didn’t even use the right state sign
every year i go expecting it to be fun and every year i’m disappointed and get heat exhaustion
One thing I've noticed about state flags is that the Southern states (whether part of the confederacy or not) generally have better designs than Northern flags. This is apparent when you look at a map of the US with each state filled with its flag. I'm not sure if this is partly because the south likes to shout state's rights at every opportunity or whatever, but there is definitely a trend.
What happens when a state can't take pride in itself? You end up with flyover states and shitholes that can't do anything without daddy federal's help

HEY! CALIFORINA'S FLAG IS AMAZING. (Despite our state having a terrible schooling system, bad homeless problems, too expensive housoing, and other issues.)
Most of them are also shit
Feels like most southern states go for symbolism while most northern states go for what they’re best known for
Here from the future and that "Hawaii war" joke hits a little different on August 2023...
As a South Carolinian who has to see that flag constantly. I agree. It deserves the slow intro. It’s simple and it actually represents all of the trees on the coast too lol
The moon is the more important symbol in my opinion. In American History when a flag has a moon on it, it represents liberty. It works really well with South Carolina’s revolutionary history as it embarked in mass guerilla warfare with the British. It also works for the Civil War given we were the first to secede but let’s just focus on the Revolutionary history
Coming from South Carolina, I was surprised how horrible other state flags are the first time I saw them
Moving to SC from NY in 2 weeks. Flying down tomorrow to get a job and apartment set up. Really excited to live there
As a South Carolinian, I was kinda flattered to hear that our flag was called gorgeous.
we have nothing over north carolina in any capacity, but at least our flag is way better than theirs. That will always be something I brag about to them.
You should have at least brought up the beaver on Oregon's back side, it helps distinguish it a little bit from all the other state seals on a blue background flags there are. Maybe they should just get rid of the entire front side and make the flag a beaver
i know what you mean but I thought for a second you were trying to say that Oregon should use an actual, living beaver as the state flag
@@no-lifenoah7861 I mean if you get a wooden flagpole then coax a beaver to bite one end and raise it up it's possible

I feel like this is more of a "State Seal Review" due to how many of these flags are basically just the state seal on a blue background
If I have a nickel for every time a TH-camr made a video about the US's states's flags that are set in a class environment,
I would have 2 which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
I'm pretty sure the state-crest-on-blue-background ones are just what the states that haven't put the effort to make an actual flag get by default.
Like, nobody even designed them, they just magically materialize the very instant a new state is created.
It’s the default character on the video game
"Oops! Mississippi's last again!" absolutely killed me. 🤣
Honestly, Georgia should have been behind them
Mississippi got rid of their confederate flag, Georgia, hasn’t
@TheDerpy Kitty Alabama’s is weird, but isn’t the *actual Confederate flag*
I can't wait for the "blue flag with seal" category
You'll be happy to know that Utah's new state flag actually looks even cooler than the one you were rooting for in this video. Rather than an X pattern of blue, white, and red in the background, they opted to do three lines, but with the white middle line being instead shaped like the mountains Utah is best known for, with the tallest peak right in the middle and the beehive placed right in the middle of that.
Hi there! Lived a majority of my childhood in SC. Fun fact, they used a palmetto tree with a canon ball being shot at it (the missing part of the moon) for their flag bc Fort Sumter was made of palmetto trees and sand, which did a great job of absorbing the impacts of the cannon balls fired by the British during the revolutionary war. Giving the British a hard time taking over the port of Charleston.
So i’m not sure where you got your info about the crescent-like shape, but it’s not correct. It’s not a moon. It never was.
The flag that Col. William Moultrie created for the regiment to fly at fort Sullivan originally looked very different. It was still blue, but the palmetto tree wasn’t originally there, and instead on the bottom was the word LIBERTY. Most importantly, the shape in question was most likely upright (though there is some debate over this), with both points equally level. This was specifically placed on the flag in reference to the headgear that the soldiers in the regiment wore, which had a flat leather front pointing upwards with a metal crescent sewn on. Now, while the reason for this metal piece is unknown, the most prominent theory is that it’s referencing a piece of armor called a “gorget” which was a very common piece of armor at the time. There are also a few theories taking a more symbolic stance on it. Technically, in order for it to be a “crescent” it has to be pointing straight up, and these can symbolize various things, most of the time involving heraldry. Eventually, the official design was changed to tilt the shape to what it is today. Either way, it was never intended to be a moon, and your own comment on how it came to be is simply wrong.
It’s certainly an easy mistake to make though.
I’ve been looking for comment. As someone from SC
As a Rhode Islander I was super happy to hear what you had to say about our flag. I was expecting a full-on whoopin but it’s nice to get some recognition every now and then.
LISTEN HERE BUCKAROO BANZAI, AS A MARYLANDER I have to point out that you missed pointing out that the Georgia state flag is literally the official Confederate States of America flag with the state seal slapped in the ring of stars. It's the same flag. They're literally using the non-general-lee confederate flag as their state flag. It's incredible.

Fun fact: the crescent on the South Carolina flag isn’t actually a crescent moon. It’s actually a gorget which is a piece of armor worn around the neck
Well, that’s the theory at least. It could also just be an actual crescent symbolizing something along the lines of heraldry.
Hilariously the reversed crescent moon is also a symbolism of Islamic faith, it has cause some confusion as I’ve heard from a guy who was in the military from SC who had a state flag patch on his gear and the Muslims wanted to know what place that he was from in America that used Islamic religious symbolism
The state flag is based on a military flag made by a soldier whose troops wore crescent moons on their hats.
"as the state troops were clothed in blue, and the fort was garrisoned by the first and second regiments, who wore a silver crescent on the front of their caps; I had a large blue flag made with a crescent in the dexter corner, to be in uniform with the troops"
As a guy from Kentucky I was really excited to see you roast my flag so I waited for over 10 mins and then you got to it and slapped KFC on their and moved on I busted out laughing. I fell for that troll hard.
