Lol, I watched a lot of road races videos in "the Isle Of Man", also I knew how their flag looks like. I have read a book about one of those racers(in English and it was really hard for me as to non-native eng speaker). Right now I'm holding this book in my hands and it's called "Guy Martin - My Autobiography". I've even read about their flag and have a T-Shirt with the Isle Of Man flag😂. Man, but only now I know your flag and know where all of that came from. Sounds like some long story of how I get it ;) P.S. Greetings from Ukraine.

Interesting facts: Dnipro is also name of the largest river in Ukraine, which split the country in two parts. And my city was founded on this river. My city have the longest coastline in Europe. Dnipro was one of the largest industrial centers in USSR. Now, the second tour of local elections is going in Dnipro. Dnipropetrovsk oblast is the territory, where Zaporizhian Cossacks were living from 15 to 18 century. (This is the reason why a Cossack is represented on the flag)

I wasn't exactly thinking of Americans calling themselves "Slavs" online for the memes (Do they know what a "Slav" is?), but at that quote, I was still thinking of Russia's image in American culture! More specifically, the bears on Russian local and republican flags seem to be one small part of the whole "Russian Bear" thing, all of which combines to make the American tourist coming back from the Russian Federation claiming "There were bears on the streets!". For the record, what "Slav" actually means: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavs Slightly more seriously, maybe these flags should be added to this Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Bear

@ezecris305 Oh, so if YOU think he doesn't look like him that's just the way it is? OR is this your OPINION that can differ from another persons opinion? In our free world we all have a right to have an opinion and my opinion is that he looks just like the pictures on the flag. With opinions, you can always disagree and walk away. What something or someone looks like is a personal view (literally this time) and you can't really argue with what someone else sees. Do you go to museums telling people what they should see and think as well?

@ezecris305 If the natives (such as I) find the reference funny, it's definitely not racist. And yes, if we had a flag with seven obvious O.J. Simpsons on it, it would be equally funny and still not racist.

The trinacria used to be a Normand symbol, which could better explain. The isle of Man, is a crown dependency and therefore not part of the UK. Flags with a map (aweful) are usually transitional flags imposed by the UN. Cambodia also had one after the Khmers Rouges

@@sonkeschluter3654 The five Principles are: Keep It Simple. The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory. Use Meaningful Symbolism. The flag’s images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes. Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors. Limit the number of colors on the flag to three which contrast well and come from the standard color set. No Lettering or Seals. Never use writing of any kind or an organization’s seal. Be Distinctive or Be Related. Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections. From the book Good Flag, Bad Flag, compiled by Ted Kaye
