Montana's Flag Voted 2nd Worst

On the latest episode of "Somebody's Gotta Do It," Mike Rowe pays a visit Fort McHenry where the original "Star Spangled Banner" flew, and a gigantic replica still flies today.

The only difference in the flag that flew in 1814 and the one we see now is the number of stars. That, coincidentally, is the only critique that Ted Kaye has about the current U.S. flag. As the number of states has increased, the stars have had to shrink in size making them harder to see.

While the American flag is great in design, not all of the states it represents have followed its lead with their own flags.

"Some U.S. state flags have great designs, but they are far outnumbered by the terrible ones," Kaye says. "In fact, nearly half of our state flags sport a seal on a blue field -- as a result, they are indistinguishable from one another at a distance. "

So which states have the best flags and which have the worst?

Kaye and the North American Vexillological Association (a group dedicated to the scientific and scholarly study of flags) held an online survey open to the public to rank the state flags. Click through the gallery above and see if your state made the list, for better or worse.
