Fryslan (Netherlands)
Someone from Fryslan in the Netherlands must love Frogger. Or Chinese fortune cookies. Either way, they make flag odd and ugly enough to be our first on the list
Guam
Guam's flag is just horrible, it looks like they 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.
Benin
That's the flag of the Benin Empire, a pre-colonial African state situated in modern Nigeria that lasted from 1440 until 1897.
Swaziland
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 culture, it just sends the wrong message having weapons in your flag, not to mention the poor school children in Swaziland, trying to make an accurate drawing of this flag for independence must be a nightmare.
Isle of Man
The flag of the Isle of Man shows a triskelion, the Three Legs of Mann 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.
Antwerp (Belgium)
One of the worst flag in the world comes from the Antwerp in Belgium. Its a chess set on acid. What more do you want?
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 neighbouring pieces are blue, yellow, red and white, respectively.
Mozambique
The hoe and the book in Mozambique's flag exemplify the best characteristics a nation wants in its people. But, an AK-47?!
Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan... Is that a tennis ball on this flag?
Bhutan
Bhutan's flag wins the award for most bad-ass ever.
Northern Marianas Islands
Northern Marianas Islands flag appears to have been created from clip art.
U.S. Virgin Islands
Another unspeakably horrible flag from a US territory, the U.S. Virgin Islands. They actually have to use it.
Central African Republic
The Central African Republic flag has managed to make an incredibly 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.
Lombardy (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
Nepal is the only country in the world that doesn't have a rectangular flag; nepalese flag is shaped like a two overlapping triangles.
Libya
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.
