I’d like to see Ireland’s rating of Ivory Coast and the Ivory Coast’s rating of Ireland

Largely British audiences giving French flags a low rating:


Ah victory!

I'm American and I love the Indian, British and Sri Lanka flags. The Indian and Sri Lanka flags are good looking and the British one is iconic that it is often used in fashion design with the whole 'cool Brittania' thing. Love it!

10, 000 people when they see a red dot on a piece of white paper: perfection

As a Welsh man I am disgusted that we were beaten by Scotland. Its blue with a railway cross on it. We've got a dragon bro.

Everyone: "Flag of Peru is just two red stripes I don't like it...it gets 149th place"
Canada: * takes that flag and adds a leaf in the middle *
Everyone: *PERFECTION*

[christinahamilton]

Most countries: **normal looking flags**
Everyone: No, I don't like it.
Canada: **has a leaf in the middle**
Everyone: *YAAAAS*

(as a canadian) i thoroughly enjoy my flag:). i don’t think it has anything to do w bias, it is just a unique flag that isn’t too complicated. white bg, two red rectangles and a red maple leaf. it is also v recognizable because of its uniqueness. i feel like it does it’s job as a flag well.
i do hate drawing it, tho. had to do that far too many times in school

[GaviotaSteampunk]

Me: Is Brazil in the top ten?
TLDR: The worst scoring colours were green, blue and yellow
Me: Oh. Oh! Well, no then.

[XD-bxee]

“The colors that scored highest were red black and white”


*Proud German Empire noises*

As a Nepalese, I’d like to thank you for not putting our flag inside a rectangle with white background. 🇳🇵

Half of the top 10 are English speaking countries, surely not a coincidence.

[JGuier]

Estonia has a massively underrated flag 🇪🇪. It's got super unique colours and they have a pretty cool representation.

I’m surprised Nepal didn’t get in the top ten considering everyone I know likes the unique look
