Some of those Flags of Russia examples would not look out of place on medieval shields.

I’m certainly jealous of Chicago’s flag. Cleveland’s is such an abomination that people are more likely to fly neighborhood flags than the city’s. I wish our city flag was better because we have an awesome state flag, but I take no joy in the Ohio part of Cleveland, Ohio.

You know how bad this flag is? The state heraldic registry of Russia refused to include it

At some point in the future we’ll celebrate the great Hawaiian/Franco/UK/Russian alliance, but only if they recruit a better graphic designer.

So the state i grew up in in Venezuela had a pretty normal state flag:

And then when Chavez took over at some point the new idiots in power decided that they would make a more patriotic flag:

I hate it so much i just can’t even

What I’m learning here is that many more places than I thought use Clip Art to design their flags.

Around the time I became interested in Russian flags was also when I got into the coats of arms of European cities. Just google image search “coat of arms” and the city, provides lots of interesting shields. (That one I linked to reminds of a beer label, but I can’t place which one.)
