Few states love their flags as much as the Texans, thus putting it on t-shirts, baseball hats and even their cars. Go anywhere in Canada and you will see the emblematic red-and-white maple leaf. And the American flag isalmost everywhere (despite the fact thatAmerican law prohibits the use as an outfit).

But as some countries and some communities are represented by truly emblematic flags, some are a bit questionable (to put it well) -designs so ridiculous, they are sure to vex the most ardent vexillologists in the world. Here are the biggest offenders.

In 1930, the city of Tampa adopted its first flag, based on a model not by a graphic designer but by aan accountant. (Cue the "do not leave your day job"jokes.) According toTampa Bay TimesMost tampeños have no indication that the city even has a flag, but those who are aware of not exactly fans.

"I was proud to wear it because I'm proud to represent our city. But I'm not proud, it's the flag that represents our city," said a member of the municipal council, which served as a carrier. Flag during a recent public event. .

The flag of the Illinois state has all the manufacturers of a large flag, they are just not quite. For example, why does this eagle cut a banner of the currency of the state? Or does it really regurgitate the currency of the state? And why the years are in this order - would not it be more logical to have 1818 (the Illinois year has become a state)up of 1868 (the year this flag was designed)?

What is even more confused is that the good people of Illinois have been able to design a worthy flag. Just watched theCommemorative flag of the centenary of IllinoisA blue and white starry design - and a real master class in the use of negative space - which would not seem poorly in place in a museum. How does this flag of the state stay beyond us.

If you are an American citizen, you are not allowed to make fun of the Liberian flag, because it is essentially a similar version of the American flag (with a star, rather than 50 and 11 scratches, rather than 13) . The flags for each of the 15 counties of Liberia, on the other hand, are a totally just game.

For starters, the flag of each county is just a smaller version of the National One. (Can you imagine if every American state had an American flag affixed at random in the upper left corner?) Art for everyone is a departure of what you would think like "traditional" - all the bright primary colors and abstract silhouettes .

But the old flag of the County of the Gee River put a touch on the formula by adding final black outlines and it looks like something you could find at an elementary school fair. At the credit of Gee River County officials, the flag has since been redesigned. Now, county buildings fly something you just needsee for yourself.

Is it a flag or pendant of a 1980s-era baseball team?Flag of Calgary Includes a white cowboy hat (a well-liked symbol of the city, which welcomes theStampede Calgary and is known for hisWhite hash ceremonies) And a giant "C", this kind of fact resembles a horseshoe. It's out of center and, combined with white bands up and down, it looks more like something that should be on a vintage sports jersey than flying over the town hall.

On a fully white backdrop, an orange cypress silhouette flies over a pair of olive branches. And these branches of olives are not simply decorative - they symbolize the peace between Greece and Turkey, two countries that have warmly earned pretensions on the island, dating from all the backs at the time of the Mycenian Greeks in the 15th Century BCE (Cyprus has not become an independent state before 1960.)

As a flat image, the design passes from gathering. But at the moment when a brightness of the sun light illuminates the flag, it becomes less symbol of the unit and more of a game of plaster, as you can see in the picture above.

The design of the horizontal horizontal color blocking of the horizontal Indonesia, with red up and white on a background, is not bad, in itself. It's just that we saw this flag, which was adopted in 1945, before several times, actually. Look at the flag ofMonaco (adopted in 1881). Or the flag ofTarija, Bolivia (which has no identifiable date of adoption, but is probably old, since Tarija has been incorporated into the16th century) Even the flag ofPoland (Adopted in 1919) is this conception but reversed upside down. At leastSingapore Had the originality of slapping a moon and stars on the upper half of their flag (adopted in 1959).

The individual elements of the national flag of Turkmenistan are all charming: a dark green background, representing the Islamic religion; A white crescent and five stars representing theThe bright future of the nation and the five senses, respectively; and a complete red column complete with five complex models, representing each of the five major major tribes in the country.

It's a well-intentioned design and look fantastic close. On a flag, however, the detail is a little too complex to be fully appreciated. If you consider it from a distance from a distance, it becomes contradictor to the point that it looks like a red blur.

The flag of this country in the center of Africa seems to be a perfect flag of four complementary color scratches - dark blue, white, green and yellow, with a single yellow star in the upper left corner balancing the band down. Then there is this bright red strip down the center, which makes a graphic graphic piece gravely overcrowded and unbalanced.
