Glaringly yellow, but better than MD--which I suspect you of favoring, as it was a top-seed. OH well.
New Mexico
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico. Maryland has gotten this far for being distinctive, but New Mexico has the benefit of being much simpler and pleasing to the eye.

ReplyDeleteAargg!
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico's elegance vs. Maryland's majesty.
And I live in Maryland.
Well, it looks like NM is getting all the votes, so mine goes to:
MARYLAND
with pride.
(But NM's gonna win.)
Well, when you put it that way:

Maryland.
ReplyDeleteAhahahahahahahahahaha I make funny joke. NEW MEXICO is my vote.
I continue to champion the merry flag of Maryland.
ReplyDeleteGee, I turn my attention away for a week or two only to find that the ugliest flag in the union has made it into the national championship?! New Mexico New Mexico New Mexico.
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico
ReplyDeleteI still really like Maryland's flag, though you have unconscionably not presented it in all its multi-hued/patterned/themed glory (at least in my browser window). New Mexico, while simple and distinctive and meeting all of those other flaggy flags, just doesn't seem very interesting in comparison.
ReplyDeletePlus Maryland would make an AWESOME quilt.
p.s. if you make it, I will purchase it for my nephew
New Mexico!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth: Let us move on to a discussion of price!
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico over Maryland. I can't believe Maryland made it this far!
ReplyDeleteMaryland. Red/yellow/heraldic symbols.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! It burns! I understand that the people have spoken so we can't have Tennessee back, but did you have to make Maryland so big?
ReplyDeleteNEW MEXICO
since colorado lost so early (what?! i don't even.), i gotta vote for new mexico.
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico, hands down! Boo to Old World heraldry!
ReplyDeleteMaryland would make a fine quilt. Or even a jazzy pair of boxer shorts. But you don't see other states running their dirty linen up the flagpole, do you?
ReplyDeleteBunch of minimalists.
ReplyDeleteI've been a minimalist since I was a little kid. I remember my mother quailing at a photo spread of Trudeau's decorating job at Sussex Drive that I thought looked awesome. It wasn't bright yellow though. Or on the other hand it was the seventies. It might have been.

ReplyDeleteCrap - I think I missed the deadline! New Mexico for what it's worth.
