Harvey Birdman Lawyer Flags

 Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law is comedic reboot of a 1960s cartoon superhero - Birdman.  In this adult oriented cartoon Birdman is a lawyer whose court cases deal with certain social issues cast with wild off the wall humor.

The show often takes modern hot button political and legal issues and sugar coats them with humorous outtakes without the extreme vulgarity of modern cartoon or being too upfront.  It is often the case that hot button topics not directly talked about, rather many of the jokes are to be read in between the lines. Also the tempo of jokes flies at the viewer at light speed.

In the original courtroom the flag of the United States is clearly visible but there is another flag whose identity is not clearly identifiable.

The mystery flag is most likely the state flag, but no state in the union uses such colors in such a pattern of yellow and blue. 

 The yellow and blue striped Harvey Birdman State colours can be seen in the background.  The unknown state flag seems to vary in the number of stripes? 

Here Harvey Birdman is holding the American Flag.  He is trying to find an outlet of where a certain robotic device is plugged into. 

DS9ers Baseball Pennant - Star Trek Deep Space 9

The baseball pennant of the Deep Space Niners appears during one of the episodes of Deep Space Nine.  The commanding officer of the space station Deep Space Nine is Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks.  In an old college-colleague rivalry Sisko takes up the challenge of playing the logical Vulcans on the virtual Holi-deck, which is basically like a walk in 3D holographic video game.

The pennant of the Niners has a blue blackground with the logo of the team - which is a baseball with a red outline of the space station.  Although the space station is not of human design it has been adopted by Captain Sisko.  The Niners team is made up of mostly humans but the team also includes a Klingon, Ferengi, Trill and two Bejorans. 

Sisko is able to recruit ball players from Deep Space Nine to play baseball against the ruthlessly logical Vulcans.

 Score board of the Deep Space Niners home filed.  It looks like the Niners will not win this one, nonetheless they are are able to celebrate the small victories against the Vulcan Logicians team.

 When Jake is on the pitching mound the flag of the Federation can be seen in the background.  The flag of the United Federation of Planets consists of a blue background with the logo of the Federation.  By current vexillological standards it is a 'bad flag' or 'S.O.B.'  But since I go against the grain of most vexillologists, in my estimation it is fine and fantastic flag.

State Flag Proposals of Bart and Lisa Simpson

In the 294th episode of The Simpsons, Lisa and Bart propose a new flag for their state.  Lisa's proposal uses the motto "To Fraternal Love."  However Bart decides to alter the flag to spite Lisa for bad mouthing his name to mom.

Bart's altered proposal brings it down a notch and uses a less than elegant motto "Learn To Fart."  Bart has corrupted the happy sun rise/set flag into a derriere, and the two people are no longer holding hands but jumping in joy or agony to escape the noxious fumes from the thundering sun-but.


When Bart and Lisa get lost in the woods, Bart covers Lisa with his "Bart-Mangled Banner."  But here, the flag has been edited back to the original more classy standard as originally designed by Lisa Simpson.

All by mere accident, Lisa Simpsons's flag echos upon my 'Fraternal Flag Partner Idea.'

Flags in the Governor's office from the Simpsons - 2002 Season 14, Episode 294

Did you know the state where the Simpson's live has its own unique flag?  In one episode when Bart and Lisa visit the State Capitol not only do we see the state flag of the Simpson's State, but there are two others flags in the Governor's room.  It looks like the other flags are reserved for persons of high office.  The flags have the same design as the state flag but differ by colour.

This is actually how it really is as for many states.  The governor's flag for Pennsylvania and Michigan use the same design as the official state flag but with differing colours.  Thus the same thing seems to be happening in the imaginary Simpsons' state.

It makes sense to assume one is for the Governor and the other might be for the Attorney State General or Governor General.

State Flag from The Simpsons - Season 14, Episode 294 "Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade"

The state flag America's most longest running fictional TV family was revealed to the public in 2002.  The inspiration for the flag most likely came from the design of Arizona.  But instead of a copper star in the center, there is a Confederate Battle flag.

We learn about the Simpsons' state flag when Bart and Lisa visit their state's capital.  The subject of the most popular imaginary Springfield State flag is brought up when the one of its citizens requests for a new design since the state is a Northern State.

Flag of Kurume Chikusui High School Japan

Kurume is a middle sized city in Japan, not to big and not too small.  The flag of Kurume Chikusui High School is typical of most school flags.  It has green field upon it with the Chinese Kanji Symbol for High or Upper in yellow with an emblem of three leaves on white.   The name of the School is printed in Japanese along the hoist.  It also has a rich golden fringe.

 Here the flag is flying on the school campus with the national flag of Japan in the center and the flag of Fukuoka on the right.  The flag of Kurume Chikusui High School is green on the right less the fringe. 

Kurume Chikusui High School is a technical school with five different  courses of study: Biotechnology, Food Processing, Land Scape Design, Culinary Arts, and finally Social Welfare.

Here is the school song.

True Colors Vexilloids - Cyndi, Phil & Kodak

 The True Colors song was originally written by William Steinberg and Tom Kelly, but the theme became famous under the guidance of Cyndi Lauper, Kodak, and Phil Collins.  All three entities and the original songwriters have gained abundantly.

Several vexilloids appear in the three versions of the song.  First in Cyndi Lauper's version the tassel on the elderly professor qualifies as vexilloids.  Every high school graduate knows of this badge of academic brilliance.

 During the building of the sand castles little flag poles made out of sticks are inserted on the tops, and invisible flags are to be imagined flying.

 In Phil Collin's rendition of True Colors white kites flying up top above the 'devil' boy have decorative white streamers.

 Finally probably the most known flags-vexilloids associated with this song, stem from the 1980s classic Kodak commercials.  In one version there were made in honor of Olympic Pride.

The flag of rhythmic gymnast is beautifully portrayed in the background.  She is holding a long colourful rainbow streamer flag.

The most flaggy of the vexilloids to appear in a Kodak True Colors Commercial appear during the scene of the little girl by the beach with "Rainbow School" Flag that has a blue background and free style rainbow upon it.

All that's missing now is children's book!
