Redesigning Every State & Territory Flag (Because I Can)

[@DeanMonsieur]

Did you like my redesigns or were they garbage?

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Like them❤❤❤❤

[@JTL1776]

Amazing love the incorporation of the 13 stripes. @US-OF-Z. Any chance for individual videos of State borders being redrawn. NYC/Long Island. Chicago. Greater Idaho. Greater West Virginia. North Califronia and Coastal California.

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

I would say the Arkansas flag should have had its name removed. Words on flags are always a bad design.

[@CarnelianClout]

Nope

[@RainNixnatus]

As a Missourian, I didn't like the design. But I am unaware if there is a good redesign for Missouri. Personally, I use my own Redesign IRL.

[@ScarletRebel96]

BUT the Maryland flag is already perfect!!!

[@Awesomewithaz]

As a Texan thank you for not fucking up our flag like you did Utah

[@DeanMonsieur]

I tried man, it could’ve been worse, I could’ve made it a Deseret design.

[@spencerailshie719]

​@@DeanMonsieurAs a Utahn I would rather have had a Deseret design😂

[@carlose4314]

I think Florida's flag should have been a cross of burgundy.

[@Pandoramaybe]

As a Michigander, I'm in love with your design. Way better whatever our actual flag is supposed to be

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

YES! love these videos! Keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤

[@codewriter3000]

For Kansas, I would just have the standard red and white stripes and nothing else to represent Sam Brownback's tax cuts.

[@rhyusbrand8311]

For North Carolina, you could’ve put four smaller white or yellow shield INSIDE the four red shields. Boom, 8 shields,

[@DominoDominus]

I love these videos! please dont die!

[@Seeker0fTruth]

Lololol

[@MonsieurDean]

🔥🔥 (Am I saying the flags are good, or am I saying they should be burned? You decide)

[@-.blake.-]

I feel like this is the first flag video where a lot of the redesigns are actually really good and not just “vexilology society” crap The only real issue i take is the stripes on the side of all of them, i get the concept i just think it kinda takes away from the rest of the design

[@DeanMonsieur]

Hey thanks for the feedback. Personally I still like the stripes but people’s opinions tended to be about 60/40 in favor whenever I asked. At the end of the day it’s just fun to design em lol

[@-.blake.-]

@@DeanMonsieur yeah no problem man, you did pretty good work :)

[@vinfacts11]

Great flags! I love most of them. Vermont, New York, US Virgin Islands, and Virginia. I have some suggestions tho: - Hawaii's OG flag could remain the way it is. It has a far longer history of being a country before US annexation than Texas, and also already has stripes. It should have the Texas treatment. - If New England gets to have its own standard design, shouldn't South also get to have their own? Maybe Southern states could have different colored stripes like NY? - Iowa's original flag is good, and should have the same design (with stripes added). Dont like the new sickle symbol. - Nevada definitely needs to be designed. A suggestion could be having the map of the state as it has an interesting design.

[@AlimTetramorph]

Honestly, I kinda hate it. Don't like the stripes

[@DominoDominus]

proof US of Z is maxed out in history

[@DeanMonsieur]

No such thing. There is always more to learn

[@CarnelianClout]

I don't like the standardized designs at all. A lot of these are worse than the Blue Seal flags. Each state should be unique. They should NOT be standardized.

[@rhyusbrand8311]

Minnesota just needed to NOT REMOVE THE STRIPES FROM THE WINNING DESIGN. Otherwise, it would be fine.

[@Coloradoball_gooberia]

For colorado you could have made the mountains a solid white silhouette and changed the orientation

[@Axolotlism10]

Ok so in my opinion this just makes the thirteenth stripes into a new Union Jack watermark as I think the Florida and Alaska ones looked great… except for the thirteenth stripes on the left side as it makes the flags feel really cramped as it seems these deigns seemed more like ones forced by a government then made by the states themselves but that’s my opinion.

[@crusader2112]

Not bad redesign for Maryland but the original is a classic. As for Pennsylvania, first off howdy fellow Pennsylvanian. Interesting design but I prefer the original.

[@Seeker0fTruth]

These are fun! I love hearing your thought process and seeing the before/after. Would love to see other videos with this vibe.

[@Pharaoh_Roxy51012]

Ohio was basically a golden state for industry and railroad, all cities here either grew due to River/lake trade industry, or Railroad and car industries

[@rhyusbrand8311]

The United States of America was founded as a Federation of States (the 18th-century word for a Sovereign Country), and a few states had their own flags even before the 13 States became federated. So, the excuse for putting the 13 stripes watermark is unjustified, and I agree with a comment below this that each flag should be unique. Remove the 13 stripes watermark, and most of these would be fine. However, most of the flags just need to have the seal removed in favor of an emblem, or remove the name from an already good flag.

[@patriciabrizuela8074]

As a native Nevadan, you created an absolute abomination of my state flag… love the effort though, C for effort

[@Liethen]

Several of them almost work. For instance the Virginia one is almost perfect. The only problem is trying to tie them all together with the 13 stripes. I get what you are going for but I dont think it works. Personally I think the state flags work best when they look like they could be for separate countries. That is why Ohio, New Mexico, and Maryland have such great flags, their uniqueness.

[@romad357]

The copper star in Arizona's flag is for the copper mining industry so the disc in your design should have been copper.

[@giovannibertaina2621]

The flag of Hawai’i should never ever ever be changed! That said, your design of the volcanoe with islands in the left corner was solid. The contrast of the Union Jack and stripes to the left didn’t work in no opinion. Honestly, I’m not really a fan of the stripes on all these flags. I like a lot of your New England ones though. Maine especially, that was clever.

[@paytonturner1421]

As a person from Chicago, Illinois. I'm okay with our state flag. It's not the best but it's good enough.

[@UFOtter]

Florida should get something mixing the Cross of Burgundy with the Bonnie Blue Flag of the former Republic of West Florida, noooo why does Georgia get Spanish, but Florida doesn't

[@ZeKermet]

I think the unification detail is a good idea. Its something the USSR did with each soviet republic, and i personally find it interesting

[@BubbaJ18]

I love your take on Virginia's flag

[@davidroddini1512]

Ohio’s flag is so iconic I think it should have gotten a pass 🤷‍♂️

[@lc8199]

14:25 no, leave our seal alone.

[@MateusChristopher]

Fun idea

[@1cupof6]

If the New England states get to have the pine tree then the Dixie states can have the CSA battle flag

[@ayeeeeeeee6240]

New England pine wasn’t ever flown as a symbol of hate. this is coming from a southerner, btw

[@carlose4314]

2:14 I think you should have kept the star but put a yellow border around it.

[@WasatchGarandMan]

Utah isnt as bad as you made it sound. Remove Arches from the back round and maybe put the stars around the beehive and it'd be pretty good

[@Jaoheah]

9:19 New Jersey is the third US state.

[@nozgard702]

As a native Nevadan... gotta say you dropped the ball on our flag. Desert arches are a feature in Utah. No consideration given to our silver mining or unique gaming identity ?

[@Dougoul]

I think adding something to commenorate their heritage (cough cough confederacy) Im not saying that cause im a southerner (im not even american) i think it would give more diversiy to you flags as i think just the New England states getting a custom design + Hawaii getting a Union Jack in the Corner is a bit unfair

[@That-One-Georgia-Bear]

This flags are great, if we weren’t a federal country. Perhaps as a Unitarian country the flags would fit better. Also what did you do to my flag.

[@Videntis.History]

Mine were better, fight me!

[@DeanMonsieur]

[@MrAsianPie]

I don’t think you should’ve went for the 13 stripe standardization. There should be a focus on the design of the flags themselves, front and center. For some of the preexisting banners you used, such as Arkansas and Indiana, I think you should’ve removed the state names. For Michigan, I feel there should’ve been 26 stars to represent Michigan being the 26th state. There is an over-representation of the 13 colonies on a state’s flag that wasn’t event apart of the 13 colonies. Also the states with impressions should have more contrast. Overall these look more like collectable stickers than flags.

[@eduardorocha1585]

Hey mr z. Since the monarchist party won that poll you did some time ago. I am asking if you could do a video elaboraring the fictinal party, giving it a name ,flag, simbol and maybe some core ideology.?

[@unternachts2358]

As a New Yorker, I will not rest until NYC has no influence on our flag.

[@spynetwork2664]

Half your population is in that city, along with the majority of your economy. It has a lot more of a driving force than the rest of it.

[@unternachts2358]

[@romad357]

NYC should be a state itself, possibly with Long Island. Staten Island should join New Jersey.

[@MaskedCanadian13]

Would there be any chance these flags could be used on Google Docs for people to use as long as there's proper credit to you?

[@Gammazero2481]

Critically speaking the 13 stripes are a bad call, maybe if you had stuck with it for all 50 states it would have at least been a respectable artistic choice but you waffled around on which states had it and which didn't so it comes off about as far from unifying as it gets. You leaned on the background silhouettes way too hard sometimes they fit but on others, combined with the stripes, make already busy flags look jam packed with stuff and too many colors. To your credit I'm a big fan of your West Virginia, New York, and Alaska flags.

[@Annex_canada]

These are the most ass state flag redesigns I have ever seen in my entire life

[@tomrio8243]

So mostly just as thirteen stripes on the side? Nah I actually like the original flags better
