Today, August 1, it is 147 years ago since Colorado gained statehood (1876). Here's the state flag, featuring the possibly best usage of a letter in any flag.

    They should have lined up the ends of the C with the stripes:

      I dare you to start posting flags of that all over Colorado to force them to assume it’s right, realize their mistake, and take it down in shame and lament. That’s a better flag because it better converts the C from letter to symbol. And lines are supposed to line up.

        If I lived anywhere near Colorado I would. Took me 2 minutes in photoshop to fix their flag, not sure why they don’t get to it.

          They didn’t have Photoshop 100 years ago, I guess /s

          No, seriously, they just didn’t have rulers or aesthetics 100 years ago.

          Real serious: someone’s already beat you to the punch!

      Sorry Grey, you’re wrong on Colorado. My most extreme reaction to that video.

    What other flags make use of just a single letter?

      It’s not a letter, but Bangladesh and Japan have punctuation on them.
