Most Attractive US Flags

[HiDesertHal]

To me, the most attractive US flags have been those with the stars arranged in a perfect rectangle, such as:

24 stars (6x4), 1821

28 stars (7x4), 1845

30 stars (6x5), 1848

35 stars (7x5), 1863

48 stars (8x6), 1912...This was our flag until 1959, when I was 23 years old.

I liked it so much I had one made for me!

What about the state flags? Some are blah, some are really beautiful.

I'm pretty partial to the New Mexico zia flag.

I agree with Sunny. Some flags are well-designed and others look like the result of bad nepotism.

Our Maryland flag, which I think is beautiful, has an interesting history.

I haven't given our flag much thought, but it seems to be plain and simple, supposedly indicating snow, sun and blue skies, sounds good to me. https://statesymbolsusa.org/symbol/colorado/state-flag/flag-colorado

Hal, this flag is pretty attractive in my eyes.
