15 of the World's Strangest Flags

1Fryslan (Netherlands)

Someone from Fryslan in the Netherlands must love Frogger. Or

Chinese fortune cookies. Either way, they made this flag odd and

ugly enough to be our first on the list.

2Guam

Guam's flag is just horrible, it looks as if they've just bought a T-

shirt from the nearest souvenir shop and put it on a flag pole.

Even if this was the case, we have a hard time believing that they 

couldn't find a better T-shirt.

3Benin

This was the flag of the Benin Empire that was situated in modern

Nigeria. A pre-colonial African state, it lasted from 1440 to 1897.

4Swaziland

Swaziland's flag. The colors go well together and the design is

interesting; unfortunately, this is not a kitchen towel. While we're

sure the shield and spears are traditional and part of Swaziland'sculture, having weapons in your flag just sends the wrong

message, not to mention the poor school children in Swaziland.

Trying to make an accurate drawing of this flag for Independence

Day must be a nightmare.

5Isle of Man

The flag of the Isle of Man shows a triskelion, the Three Legs of 

Man emblem, in the centre of a red flag. The three legs are joined

at the thigh and bent at the knee. In order to have the toes

pointing clockwise on both sides of the flag, a two-sided emblem

is used.

6Antwerp (Belgium)

One of the worst flags in the world comes from the Antwerp in

Belgium. It's a chess set on acid. The flag is made of 24 square

pieces, in 4 rows and 6 columns. The pieces in the upper right and

lower left corners of the flag are white, the neighboring pieces are

 blue, yellow, red and white, respectively.

7Mozambique

The hoe and the book in Mozambique's flag convey the best

characteristics a nation wants in its people. But, an AK-47?

8Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan... Is that a tennis ball on this flag?

Bhutan's flag wins the award for the most bad-ass ever.

10Northern Marianas Islands

Northern Marianas Islands' flag appears to have been createdfrom clip art.

11U.S. Virgin Islands

 Another unspeakably horrible flag from a U.S. territory, the U.S.

 Virgin Islands. They actually have to use it.

12Central African Republic

The Central African Republic's flag has managed to make anincredibly busy flag with just five straight lines, and one lonely 

star. While this flag looks horrible enough as it is, if it is seen waving in the wind, it actually induces seizures.

13Lombardy (Italy)

Lombardy in Italy must have invented the game of Jacks, mustn't

it? Not much else can explain this flag that is simple to point of 

 boredom, but still includes a slightly nauseous shade of green.

Nepal is the only country in the world that doesn't have a

rectangular flag; Nepalese flag is shaped like two overlapping

triangles.

NOTE: Switzerland's flag isn't rectangular either, it's squared

Libya's flag, adopted on an uninspired night of 1977, consists of a

simple green field with no other characteristics. It is the only 

national flag in the world with just one color and no design,

insignia, or other details.
