New York. I like it. Baffled by the symbolism - probably means all things to all men but pretty enough.

Christ US state flags are poor but hopefully the few "non seal on blue background" ones go deep

Delaware, because they've really pushed the boat out with a different shade of blue.

Disappointed that the Kentucky flag isn't Colonel Sanders playing a banjo.

Montana. The seal on the Wyoming flag ruins it for me, while Montana is a nice cheerful flag.
