I was curious what the Colorado flag would look like with each letter of the alphabet.

u/TestTheTrilby Apr 18 '26

Uhh when did @ become the 28th letter?

24

u/mszegedy Khanty-Mansi Apr 18 '26

it's actually the zeroth letter, before A. op misplaced it. (insert crude joke about ebcdic)

19

u/freethebluejay Apr 18 '26

Interesting how quickly you accepted the ampersand as the 27th

20

u/JACC_Opi Apr 18 '26

That was actually treated as a letter at least until the 19th century by English-speakers.

3

u/freethebluejay Apr 19 '26

Would you look at that. I learned something new today, thank you

6

u/MaraschinoPanda Apr 19 '26

That's even where the name "ampersand" comes from. "... X, Y, Z, and, per se 'and'."

2

u/My_Soul_to_Squeeze Apr 19 '26

I thought you were bullshitting us, but based on my 10 seconds of research, it looks like you're not. Wild.

2

u/JACC_Opi Apr 19 '26

I've actually seen photos of 19th century classrooms with the alphabet listed on them and that's how I know the thing about ⟨&⟩, because it was on there along with the rest.

The flag of every state of the union in the style of Colorado.

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot England • Scotland Apr 18 '26

The round ones genuinely all work best:

O, Q, and @

u/54-Liam-26 Apr 19 '26

I and T work decently, too

2

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot England • Scotland Apr 19 '26

T looks like a person with a pair of flabby Bingo Wings xD

u/Suspicious_Ad8990 Apr 19 '26

I just genuinely giggled. Thanks for that!

2

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot England • Scotland Apr 19 '26

Glad I could give you a giggle ^^

2

u/54-Liam-26 Apr 19 '26

True. I think a capital I (one with the crosses at top / bottom) would actually look really good

2

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot England • Scotland Apr 19 '26

True, that would probably look a bit better than what this I looks like. :)

u/zeromadcowz Apr 18 '26

The J holding the little yellow ball is so cute

u/flaggy12 Chile Apr 18 '26

i know its a flag alphabet but i wonder how numbers would look in this

7

u/bionicjoey Canada Apr 18 '26

Funny, the only letter in "COLORADO" that doesn't look good is R. They could very nearly do a whole flag word this way and have it look pretty good

u/annikuu Apr 18 '26

I actually really love Holorado. Something about the perpendicular lines going each way.

u/fleshybagofstardust Apr 19 '26

Holorado the door!

u/BeanBurrito668 Apr 18 '26

Ah yes, Kolorado

u/TivoDelNato Apr 18 '26

My favorite is Zolorado. I like the way the horizontal bars align with the blue stripes.

u/GPFlag_Guy1 Michigan Apr 18 '26

The M flag actually looks really cool. Would be a great alternative to the Michigan flag as well, especially with those prominent blues and golds.

u/joker_wcy British Hong Kong Apr 19 '26

Can someone do the Rwanda old flag alphabet?

u/prinzoid Apr 19 '26

2

u/mszegedy Khanty-Mansi Apr 18 '26

not sure i agree with the blocky ones like HUVZ. a circular yellow bit would have been better i think. it looks okay on EFWX and i'm ambivalent about KMN.

u/the_genius324 Apr 18 '26

u/bribridude130 Connecticut Apr 21 '26

The flag with the letter "J" would make a great flag of the State of Jefferson in an alternate history where Jefferson Territory (1859-1861) became a state. The Rocky Mountains Jefferson Territory is not to be confused with the proposed "State of Jefferson" between California and Oregon.

This is a truly delightful form of ingenuity via imagined existing thing. "Surely the "C" must have been pulled down from some great pre-existing coloradoean fint alphabet, right?" and like, of course. Love it.

u/OkNefariousness8077 Apr 19 '26

They should sell these as keychains at Colorado truckstops
