That Maryland flag is definitely a cool flag.
According to Wikipedia, in 2001 the North American Vexillological Association ranked it "fourth best in design quality out of the 72 Canadian provincial, U.S. state, and U.S. territory flags ranked." It finished behind the flags of New Mexico, Texas and Quebec respectively.
