I can't find any good info on why their flag is of "four blindfolded moors," but I'm still looking. Anybody else know?

What are some good flags? What are some bad flags?

The best state flags are Rhode Island and Maryland

I like Delaware. Just two guys relaxing, maybe on their way to Dewey Beach?

They're not even blindfolded, their eyes are wide open

As I said, still searching for good info.

From "I Love Sardinia":

Some scholars suppose that it was born in 1096, when King Pietro I from Aragona won the fight of Alcoraz against the Saracens (muslim peoples). According to a legend, during the bloody fight a white dressed knight with a red cross on his chest appeared and repulsed the terrified Sarecens: only than they understood that the man was St. Giorgio, who left the cut off heads of the four defeated kings in the battlefield.
In the eighteenth century, the emblem showed the four Moors with a patch over their eyes, and it was this way until when, in force of the regional low 10 of the 15th. April 1999, was established that the Four Moors must be bandaged on the forehead and they must be turned right and not more left.
