Going on Keep It Simple Stupid, I present the Flag of the Air Corps of Ireland. The base colors are fine, and its coat of arms is quite nice (too detailed, but still nice), but the whole thing is ruined with the army coat of arms and roundel in the corners.

Also the Air Corps consists of 5 Cessna 172 variants, 8 trainers and 10 helicopters.

Bloody freestate airforce and the their propeller planes, you'd think they're preparing for WW2.

Oof, did you hear about the "proposed" Detroit flag? Some jackass with a brand new Graphic Design (I think I can't find the program any more) degree thought that the city needed a new flag that looked more like an app icon, be put on merch, and well just is an uninspired rip off, of one of the finalists of the New Zeland 2015 flag referendum.

> also that the best thing these days about Motown is the flag

I don't hate his idea but he went from too complicated to too simple.

IIRC the reason why purple is barely (if ever) used as a national flag/state flag/whatever colour is because until like the 1900s purple dye was obscenely expensive to produce (due to it being entirely sourced from a rare sea snail in lebanon. Like, rare enough that the average monarch would be lucky if he could get a purple shirt or some shit, which is also why it has long been seen as the "royal" colour. Therefore NOBODY wanted to waste such a precious comodity on the hundreds of thousands of flags the average nation needed until mauve was discovered and synthesised in the 19th century, and a tiny number of countries toyed around with adding purple to flags.

This means that while there are thousands of years of experience with colour coordination in flags with every other colour of the rainbow, purple was (and is) a novel concept in flag design that few countries have ever really played around with enough to come up with a good design

It might also be a little-used color because it simply tends to look like shit. This is the flag commies in my country tend to use.

It symbolizes a brief republic we had from 1931-1939. The far left here seems to think it was some sort of progressive socialist paradise and wants to go back to it, nevermind that it was full of violence, instability and corruption. And that its last few years took place during a bloody Civil War.

But the worst part is that goddamn flag. These people actually fly that turd with pride.
