The Maryland Point

The point at which a flag which initially looks ugly morphs into becoming beautiful. Most commonly seen with the flag of the US state of Maryland, from which the term takes its name

The flag of British Columbia, boy is it a gong show. But it manages to cross the Maryland Point where ugly becomes awesome
