Do people in France have flags on their cars? Do they sell clothing with the flag for Zimbabwe everywhere? Do people dress as their country’s mascot for every day events?

    Definitely depends where you are. Lots of big cities, regions, or states will tend to identify as from those places first. Here in Chicago people generally identify as Chicagoan and you’ll see many more Chicago flags than American flags. But that’s also in part because our flag is the best flag ever.

      Chicago’s flag is a masterwork.

      My city did a redesign about five years ago. Our flag was in a D to F tier flag ranking. After the redesign it’s much better, but still feels like a logo more then a flag. At least they got rid of the written slogan, though!

      Props to Chicago. Put that flag on everything.

      I’m hoping Milwaukee adopts of the People’s flag of Milwaukee soon. That’s a serious banger too.
