I'm actually really curious how the "gold seal on blue field" got so popular. Was there some kind of trend in vexology at the time or was it because of some kind of federal mandate?
My own state flag is one of these. Its only distinguishing feature is having a different image on the reverse side.

Answering my own question, it looks like most state flags were designed out of laziness for the 1893 Wold's Colombian Exposition

>Modern U.S. state flags date from the 1890s, when states wanted to have distinctive symbols at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. Most U.S. state flags were designed and adopted between 1893 and World War I.

>According to a 2001 survey by the North American Vexillological Association, New Mexico has the best-designed flag of any U.S. state, U.S. territory, or Canadian province, while Georgia's state flag was rated the worst design. (Georgia adopted a new flag in 2003; Nebraska's state flag, whose design was rated second worst, remains in use to date.) About half the flags have a common "seal on a bed sheet" design, wherein the state seal is simply put on a solid, usually blue, background. Such flags consistently get the lowest ranks from the Vexillological Association.

California's is shit, m8. If you have text on your flag, it's automatically shit.

Ohio's is pretty good. So are Colorado's and Arizona's.

Maryland's is the best though.

That's not the ugliest Georgia flag.
This is.
No wonder it only lasted from 2001-2003.

I wasn't going for ugliest.
I was legitimately praising Georgia's current state flag.
It's a keeper

You say that like all other flags are just random designs. You can make a historically significant flag that isn't shit, which yours is.

To my knowledge they used to just be the badges, but at some point they badges go placed onto the national flag and they became the state flags.
