I love this video! My family lives on a sailboat and we are a member of a Marina. Most marinas have their own flags called Burgees. Almost every Burgee I have seen is very simple and bold. You really should look into them for a possible video. Also, I'm a bit disappointed that this latest creation didn't once mention the absolutely S-Tier flag of PIRATES! My whole family just loved your Pirate videos....Branding!! I commented on YT as Mike Burgess btw.

Utah's beehive is for "industry". Really? From my understanding Utah and the beehive is very heavily tied to the Mormons settling there, and symbolized them deciding it was the "land of milk and honey". Visiting Utah it was always cringey seeing it on their highway signs and other government emblems. The original redesign flag got a lot of flack IIRC because it had the date that Mormons settled there, as if there was no one living there before they came and settled in Mexican territory.

Nicolas Demers

You keep ragging on California and it's never not funny

Shawn Ravenfire

I came up with a redesign for the Pennsylvania flag, but nobody pays any attention to me. It's a keystone in the middle with three stripes: green for the forests, blue for the rivers, and black for the coal mines.

Michelle Jirak

There was a redesign for the Minnesota flag but the state legislature doesn't want to adopt it. We use it as an unofficial flag that you can see flying at Minnesota United football matches. Check it out at https://newmnflag.org/designs/northstar

This, together with Roman Mars' TED Talk on city flags, should be required viewing for any and all local governments. You can do so much better! A decent flag might seem trivial, but it's as good a place to start as any!

Ross Begg

Just a bumbling Bonnie Bee! Bypassing the baby bots. Thank you for all of the amazing content that you give the world!

Janel Christensen

@Janel Christensen I'm leaving a comment, but it's a reply to @Andres Villacres if that helps you out at all. Love your work!

Thomas Berg

@brystmar on YT: "So much potential was squandered, yet we seem proud of the results anyway. Is there a more fitting analogy for America?" Thanks guys!

Josh Davidson

The little details put in each state's attitude NEVER get old. Every still has so much delightful personality in it. Also love the backdrop as a classroom. S-Tier work.

As a resident of Arizona I feel our flag deserved S tier. :)

Now I physically need Grey to make the same video with all the country flags. I loved this and I'm not even American.

Colin Sueyres

BUT! The Alabama flag is just the St. Patrick's saltire! THIS IS MADNESS.

Adam Wagner

Pitch for the Delaware flag: blue field, fifty white stars, top leftmost star is yellow. Simple, American, shows that you're the first. Bam

Diane Given

As a lifelong Virginian, I laughed out loud and spewed soda all over my laptop at your comments on our 'scandalous' flag. Oddly, I don't entirely disagree, tho. :) But I live in Texas now, and I have to completely agree in all respects with your assessment of our flag, as well. I have never seen a state so completely obsessed with their own flag. Although, since we DID get a 'Superior' on our grade, do you BLAME us?? LOL And lastly, as a few other people have already commented, the personalities of your adorable state girls is adorable. How do you make us feel sorry for some of these little animated girls? Well done, Grey! A new favorite video!

andrew boylan

Maryland thanks you for recognizing a great design when you see one.

Eric Chung

What's the best flag in the world?

Alec

I think the California Flag is actually pretty great cause its still identifiable in the blurred background of a zoom call. That's important these days.

This whole time as a Virginian I was like "Oh lord, we KILLED a mother freaker on our sh(t!!".

A second copyright strike against VTH?! Why are you going after a highschool history teacher? He’s one of the best internet historians on YT and practically a national treasure. Have you always been this petty or is this a new development?

Derek Chapman

Yes, where is this coming from? I get it reaction videos are the scourge of YouTube but VTH does it different. He adds quite a bit of info and adds his perspective as a historian as well. The first CPR strike on the flag bit I get, but doing the second one moments after he appealed? Yeah that is a bit petty.

Anthony Beardslee

Seriously, Grey? Two strikes in a row against VTH? Considering pulling my support and unsubscribing

Grey you have been one of my favorite YouTube creators since Bizarre borders. I'm just looking for an explanation about the strikes against VTH. What's up?

Elthon Maria

It's your content, yes, but you had many other options before going for the nuclear one. VTH did not steal from you, and Chris reacted to your videos because mutual fans asked him. You don't want to share? Fine, but we your supporters were rather surprised by your knee-to-the-face reaction.

Leigh Monk

I understand the frustration of CGP Grey to reaction videos in general. I've seen plenty that add absolutely nothing to the original content, but VTH is definitely not one of those channels. I chose to think that CGP Grey may have just imposed the strikes without having watched or realised what VTH's reaction videos are truly like. If you read this, CGP Grey, could you please undo what you've done. Thanks from Australia.

Archa4

The story with copyright striking VTH does not sit right with me... I will wait for few days for response, but if there is no change - sorry, I'm dropping my patreon sub...

I do believe my Arizona flag should have been S-tier, but otherwise, this is a new family favorite video! My daughter also suggested you make a video ranking logos like this. 🙂

Chess_Piece2002

Btw i love this video heaps (even though i'm from australia)

Mark Branson

Hi Grey! On youtube, I'm 'Curly G Cradle Rock' This family name has been passed down for YEARS. Literally, like almost 2 years now. It doesn't help that the one bird who can speak english historically hated Sandlr for some reason. Now that that's done, a quick question, if I may. What in the ding dang heckin' frigg (oh skuuuse me there, miss(pardon my language) is going on with these goobers in the comments? Hard to imagine what you would even be capable of doing in terms of would make people comment in such an Emo manner.

Sean Munson

Excellent job. Keep up the good work.

glowingcobra

Grey I want to be on your side here and for the most part I am but the main thing I can agree with with the people who are mad at you is that you didn't just ask Chris to take down the videos. It feels a little targeted with the timing and the YouTube comments stuff. I would hope it is a coincidence but it may not be. I do think that in this case you are in the right legally but I feel that the action you took was extreme and you both could have handled it better.

Jay Monroe (Fusion)

I wonder is the NRA choose Virginia as its home when they saw the flag.
