Well I really couldn't be a red-blooded American without saying the "Old Glory" is my fav. But the very next and only a little itty bitty bit behind is the St. Andrews Cross - Flag of Scotland.

Well my favorite flag would probably be the Irish Regiment for the Union in the Civil War. Cant remember the exact regiment but its really great looking.
Are you referring to the Irish Brigade? If so, it was comprised of the 63rd, 69th, and 88th New York Volunteer Regiments, the 28th Massachusetts, and the 116th Pennsylvania infantry Regiment.
They were one of the Elite units of the Civil War and were well known by their Emerald Green Battle Flag.

The rebel flag is cool and I also like the Texas State Flag and the California State Flag

I could say something here about why that might be , but it ain't really my place.

Just to deviate slightly from the debate, my worst flag would have to be the flag of the EU, it tries to copy the principle of the white stars on the American Flag, by placing stars in a circle on a blue background, this EU flag is bland, ugly and unrepresentative of the countries it apparently covers. When I see it, I have no patriotic feeling towards it, I would never fly it nor I would I like it be flown on British soil as it stands for everything Britain has fought against. We do not want a federal Europe, we want our own independant nations, whatever happened to self-determination?
To add to the debate, my favourite flags are the Union Flag (GB), American flag and Australien flag. I'm also quite partial to the cross of St George for England as shown by my avatar.

I dont like the EU flag either. They'll never force us into being one Nation.

THe St. Lucia flag looks pretty slick, and the Gabon flag has pretty rad colours.
