Quiz: How Much Do You Know About the U.S. State Flags?
You probably would have no trouble identifying the Lone Star Flag of Texas or naming a grizzly bear as the animal that appears on California's flag. It's also likely that you could pick the Wisconsin and Oklahoma flags out of a lineup — the names of those states are helpfully printed in big, bold letters on their banners.
But could you name the four states that do not feature a shade of blue on their flags? Or, for that matter, the 46 that do? (For brevity’s sake, it’s Alabama, California, Maryland and New Mexico that are in the no-blue minority.)
