Flag Evolutions

[@jackin_it]

Something about the last France flag feels so much more unique than other tricolor flags. Idk what it is, but the blue-red-white pattern just feels right.

[@camimi2226]

Yeah no I’m french and the previous flag disturbs me

[@emycharaa]

Uh what? I prefer much more the blue white red flag than this monstrosity 🤢

[@CoinyforReal]

Ikr it's so gorgeous for some reason

[@weidevanderbj]

Meanwhile Netherlands 🗿

[@dizzy_jump]

which one

[@revinevan87]

5:38 it's because it's plain, not old.

[@novaace2474]

10:37 oh you do NOT hate in the Alaska flag that is top tier

[@The7thPredator]

A lot of US states use the same generic design on purpose. The thinking was to place less importance on the individual states and more importance on the union. Basically, they were worried people would identify with their state more so than the 'United States,' thus ideally all the states would have essentially the same flag with the state seal. That's why historically 'independent' or 'self glorifying' states like California, Texas, and the whole south have distinct flags. People in those states historically identify more strongly to their state rather than the country, the very thing a lot of folks were trying to avoid. Of course this is not true for every state with a unique flag, but it's at least a reason for all the boring flags

[@vladprus4019]

It is interegsting how pretty much every territory that Norway has outside of it's mainland is a random, frozen and barely inhabited (if at all) island (and that part of Antarctica, that still is like everything on this list, besides being island), even if those territories are on the other side of the world.

[@NikolaiFalk]

The Old flag og Denmark shown in the beginning of the video was the flag of the North Sea Empire which controlled Denmark, parts of Sweden and Norway as well as England Like so Drew Can Learn

[@trphoenix_.]

Lets appreciate Drew because of the effort he & his editor puts into a video. I loved it! -petition for drew to hang the turkish flag day 6 🇹🇷-

[@rocky_m27]

and the first post is wroooooong because russia had a brighter blue stripe before it was officially declared that it would be darker after yeltsin's coup in 1993

[@Liggliluff]

(0:40) You do have an interesting point there if we were to break down Europe into smaller regions. What was this region's previous flag, if we look at the national flag used for that region (so not regional/local flag)

[@aer0a]

10:24 Flags used be for war and ships and the USA probably didn't expect individual states to go to war or have their own ships so they designed the seals first because they were more important

[@willmrgn]

I thought the flag given for English was Fiji at first which would've been even more odd

[@theunremarkablepodcast]

Same💀🇫🇯🇫🇯

[@tameradomingo2014]

Fr 💀

[@Diriector_Doc]

7:17 The English flag does against the geneva convention.

[@miscellaneoussarnian5282]

Another day of asking Drew to put up the Guernsey flag (and also to watch Deutschlandball)

[@neptune6655]

2:39 "underSHtand"

[@revinevan87]

1:23 that's the SIMPLIFIED Costa Rican flag.

[@jarrodtan5712]

If my memory is correct, the reason for a lost of states having their seal on their flag is due to the American Civil War because before wars people would associate with their state not the nation but after the war not anymore

[@raymondg7565]

"Fun with Vexillology!" Starring Drew.

[@escape209]

2:53 fun fact: North Korea actually pretty much used the South Korean flag while it was transitioning from Soviet occupation to the establishment of the country, from 1946 to 1948.

[@robezy0]

Also fun fact: Both Korean states have their own standardized language and the Southern version is used pretty much everywhere outside of NK

[@frustationoverloaded5976]

becuz that's the old Korean flag, when there was 1 korea. South Korean flag is a redesign of the old Korean flag, I guess North Koreans love it as well, heritage after all

[@anhalt1444]

8:00 Finnaly C.U.M. flag

[@andrewplayz7588]

BRUH

[@Luka_D_Snots]

Quite pissed that they missed 🇼🇸-> 🇹🇼 in the flag evolution section

[@HoV326]

As someone of Costa Rican descent, it hurt hearing Drew call the occupied German flag the most generic flag imaginable

[@malta_ball701]

Petition for drew to get a malta flag (Day 13)

[@Noah-qg8jc]

Can agree Malta is under rated

[@NLJeffEU]

5:13 the way you say vietnameeese is so crazy 😂😂

[@__mints__]

04:57 The Disrespect for including Charmander and Sqrirtle, and then replacing my precious Bulbasaur with that poser Pikachu. Bulbasaur is clearly the superior choice, and has faced opression and discrimination from Geography videos for too long.

[@5k3m.]

the norweigan prime ministers gotta be the chillest pm ever

[@YaM8Kraken]

6:36 🤣🤣🤣 Might as well be the most creative.

[@masstaden3507]

drew casually bringing up operation blue beam @ 7:26

[@Verner-eh4pk]

0:01 for finland it was after we gain independence that we adopted our current one, however that flsg was only flown for a few months.

[@Patrick462]

9:30 funny joke by Drew where he pretends to like the Maryland flag - I tune into this channel specifically for these humorous japes!

[@lawden210]

4:16 Ok damn I'm jealous of this guy

[@Zyxl-]

7:02 "Greece is odd in swiss style" Old greek flag: 😐

[@DDanimations1]

Day 40 of the petition for Drew to hang the Yemen flag upside down

[@DDanimations1]

I have returned

[@eduardpeeterlemming]

Am I only one who finds accidents where many people died facinating and intriguing?

[@PCrailfan3790]

7:51 that looks more art deco than futuristic

[@neuekatze1]

0:23 using the normal flag of germany was banned after the war, but the ships still needed to comply with the law of hanging their own flag. so, they semi-officially adopted the flag that is used in international maritime signal flags to represent the letter "c", therefore technically complying with both laws.

[@10thFatuiHarbinger]

As a Marylander I’m proud of our flag

[@ADMICKEY]

As a Arizonan, I'm proud of our's and your flag

[@Bacopa68]

I am from Texas and have lived in Maryland. Y'all got Texas beat with your flag pride and I give you my respect. Let your freak flag fly.

[@anotherrandomguy6012]

Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 219] The Heinkel He 219 Uhu ("Eagle-Owl") is a night fighter that served with the German Luftwaffe in the later stages of World War II. A relatively sophisticated design, the He 219 possessed a variety of innovations, including Lichtenstein SN-2 advanced VHF-band intercept radar, also used on the Ju 88G and Bf 110G night fighters. It was also the first operational military aircraft to be equipped with ejection seats and the first operational German World War II-era aircraft with tricycle landing gear. Had the Uhu been available in quantity, it might have had a significant effect on the strategic night bombing offensive of the Royal Air Force; however, only 294 of all models were built by the end of the war and these saw only limited service. Ernst-Wilhelm Modrow was the leading night fighter ace on the He 219. Modrow was credited with 33 of his 34 night air victories on the type.

[@britishman1922]

0:23 looks this the British/ Australian squadron leader symbol for Aircraft

[@darreljones8645]

How do we KNOW Drew needs to pay his taxes? I'd ask the IRS first.

[@namikazelevi]

HAPPY 66TH INDEPENDENCE DAY MALAYSIA!!! 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾(31 August 1957)

[@resting_btch_face]

I genuinely love merdeka and National day(Singapore, 9 Aug) they are super devoted to the celebration.

[@namikazelevi]

@@resting_btch_face true

[@lilmech3677]

8:15 love this aswell

[@goldjitsu1873]

4:06 ignore that it's the same design as the nazi flag (-swastika)

[@JordiVanderwaal]

2:16 I feel like a lot of this is pretty common sense Me: yeah, in 1940s Europe, but not in the XXIst Century (it just feels weird, that's all).

[@RC-xl8se]

0:42 Some think that flag of Italy was the fascist flag, but even if it was used in that period too, it just represent the Kingdom of Italy and it changed when Italy became a Republic.

[@killercaos123]

At the end, I do find it funny, the USA states map has an updated Mississippi flag but not an updated Utah flag

[@MontgomeryWilliams-Gardner]

Drew confirmed Portuguese monarchist 3:17

[@AnawinPlay]

4:08 wait that slightly familiar design💀

[@aendermin]

“oh? your denmark is evolving!” “congrats! your denmark evolved into norway! norway’s data will be registered to your countrydex.”

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Another amazing video and play countryball at wars

[@90taetaeya]

Didn't the Singapore swim team had their trunks as the flag though? hahaha.

[@ariamh823]

Marylands set of colors in that setup is kinda cool especially compared to other states blue

[@ptsitius]

4:50 All the Norwegian county flags are from 1967 weirdly enough

[@bwoo9628]

That Norway territory flag looks like cool concept art for Estonia can into Nordic (with some recoloring)

[@leserb9228]

9:16 This is just Vojvodina (Northern province of Serbia) But with a German Eagle in the middle, and more stars!

[@HypnoticChronic1]

I like Maryland's flag because its different, not because its appealing to look at.

[@Bacopa68]

All Maryland has is the shock of their flag. And they love it. It's plastered everywhere more than the Texas flag is. I respect this.

[@revinevan87]

0:26 really? What about he one right next to it? Can you not see what we see?

[@Average_Delaware_Fan]

Maryland has the best flag!!!! (I'm Delawarean)

[@mad1s0n36]

DAY 237: Petition for Drew to put the flag of Wisconsin in the background

[@SnorProductions]

I’m definetly copping that Mexico!

[@arekzawistowski2609]

Meryland flag looks great. It reminds me of Poland - Lithuania Commonwealth flag.

[@Antiorsmt]

Nice job drew!

[@nov4ni]

Petition for Drew to hang up the Cascadia flag (Doug Fir) after hanging the Iowa flag (day 4)

[@TikoVerhelst]

I swear, every country has province/county/region that they just think doesn't exist. In the Netherlands it's Drenthe, in Germany it's Bielefeld and in the US it's Wyoming.

[@SouthKoreanSanta]

As a Korean I am so angered that Drew thought North Korea was better than South Korea

[@Freetorylanezdaystar]

Babe wake up, drew just upload

[@pancakemacbuttery9142]

The Norwegian prime minister is the most coolest guy ever

[@Alpatrixx]

the old spain flag looks sick bird flags are the goat

[@KanchidoShinokyoufu]

Maryland’s flag looks like a proper medieval flag.

[@IV_numeral]

Denmark wouldn’t actually connect to Finland as they speak different languages and not just Swedish, they are in the same group as Russia and Hungary and some other countries. Finland is really like the imposter of the Nordic group

[@Kingdom_Of_Dassogne]

Day 2 of asking Drew to free me from the basement

[@danielaschenkel9902]

Petition for Drew to put the flag of Swiss Canton Ticino in his background (day50)

[@r.bernonensis5772]

The Danish flag evolved from the Swiss. In addition to the Nordic cross group, it also was the origin of the English and its descendant, the Georgian.

[@ABtheButterfly]

I don't know why I find kinda funny that Poland ball is between Germany and Reichtangle

[@maozedongcat2198]

Day 10 of asking Drew to react to Possible History’s, “What if WWII was re-enacted in the modern day.”

[@existencelol]

9:49 The Maryland flag is unique, I'll give them that, but it hurts my eyes.

[@kemasuk]

Hey, Alaska's flag has a whole song about it.

[@checkmate590]

0:08 , man as a person in moldova, they got it so wrong. we used the current romanian flag as our last flag during our last time in the ussr. thats how transnistria broke off and how gaugazia exists

[@europeanhoneybuzzard8328]

9:18 i see serbia now conquered all of Europe!

[@ace_potato8975]

As someone form both Utah and Maryland I think we have the best flags at least the new Utah remake

[@The_Guy711]

Drew if you do more stuff countryballs do state balls, also release them when I can pay for them, having no monies sucks

[@davidmc543]
