Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico all have great designs. California, not so much.

Also, while Alabama's flag is incredibly boring (and also the description is ridiculous, since there's a saltire that is exactly what our flag is, but our flag is officially a different saltire with the colors changed. Because Alabama is ****ing stupid), there once was a very similar flag (that our current one is derived from) flown over Alabama during Spanish rule which was much better designed. The Cross of Burgundy.

Spoiler: I maintain Alabama should change its flag back to this
