Is it weird that the United States has to change its flag every time there was a new state? (1 Viewer)

We’re like the only country in the history of countries to use our flag as a bookkeeping system.

No.  Once you start with marking the states you can’t exactly stop.

This is why I oppose statehood for DC.  Think of how expensive it would be to replace all those flags -- it's just not financially prudent.

What about adding DC and getting rid of Florida?

I wondered if this might be good economic stimulus but google tells me that at least 90% of U.S. flags are imported.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Small price to pay for having such an awesome flag

I would love to have me one with 49 stars.

So they’ll pay tariffs and we get paid double!  Win-win!

Worst state flag: Maryland. Hurts the eyes.

Greatest to wear as a dress to Pimlico, though? Just nothing like it in that mud. 

Speaking of the horses, where @otb_lifer?

Total handshake feeling on that observation.

What might save it is if Pueto Rico suddenly becomes the 51st state.

Have Otis pour you a few margaritas then.

Looks like Venezuela also uses 1 star for each province and last updated in 2006 for the addition of Guayana

The Philippines flag changes when they declare war. Blue on top = peace, red on top = war

Well I learned some cool stuff today!  Thread MVP to Walking Boot.
