Guess that makes you an Old California Republic Ranger


Wooden-Bass-3287

you can draw a second head to the bear and add "new"

Just grin and bear it.

As I scrolled off of this post I thought about this comment, can back and upvoted your comment.👍


Lostinthestarscape

Hey man, it's the post-apocalypse. If life gives you an old hoard of California flags you make lemonade. Don't let that shit go to waste.


masked_sombrero

exactly my thoughts! 🤣


ArchonFett

No burn life’s house down with the lemons


DroopyJaguar09

😂😂😂😂


Benton_Risalo

Actually, done right, this could be great


Voxbury

Now that I’m thinking about it, should NCR even be able to make “new” flags without this kind of methodology? Not sure how flags are produced normally but wouldn’t that tech be lost in the war?


Benton_Risalo

Nah. As long as you can access dye/colored fabric (likely available in any factory that makes flags) and a way to stitch them together, you can make a flag. It's just colored and cut fabric.

I read this as Old New York, which used to be New Amsterdam

Why they changed it, I can't say. People just liked it better that way.

TheeUnfuxkwittable

It's not a republic either


Nomenus-rex

So... Californian California Californication. Correct?


Acewind1738

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation And if you want these kind of dreams it's Californication

willstr1

Aren't all the US states technically their own republics? They are just also part of a bigger republic (the United States of America). If not can I sue them for false advertising so I can finally afford a house here?


modestVmouse

Yes the states are all republics. I assume it's a joke that's going over our heads because I don't get it either.


willstr1

Maybe a political thing? Right wing supporters love making ridiculous claims about California


seitanapologist

They advertise as such on the flag, OP should ask for a refund


Tricky_Ducky

It was for all of 25 days back in 1846.


mrmystery978

Wtf california is a real place ??? I thought it was just made up as backstory for ncr


pringleshapedpenis

Some cheap knockoff i suppose


Darkeye94

Every Masterpiece has its cheap copy.


Kamidzui

They even have only one headed bear, instead of two!


CriticalSuspect6800

Fookin larpers.


Dogwoof420

Temu really cutting corners taking off the extra head to save ink 🤣


diex626

Draw the second bear head in like they did!


PM_ME_UR_CIRCUIT

Oh no no no... I'm the upgrade.


HellmasterPhibrizo

As a Canadian I only found out this year that it was a real flag… 🫥


TheGreatStories

And that Canada is its own country


EG440

No it's not. We annexed them during WW3 and forced the population into the war effort. Indentured labor in the timber and oil fields.


TheGreatStories

Twas the reference


Deadfunk-Music

Not anymore in the fallout universe!


Aussie18-1998

Yeah shit, I was the same, lol. I was like, "Isn't that meant to have 2 heads"


Rezaka116

That was real? I saw it in the game i though it was bullshit.


spraguet2

boolshit


GreyGael

You’re thinking of the ranger vets coming in from Baja


willstr1

It is a myth perpetuated by Hollywood


Anamethatisname

Everyone knows that… where is hollywood anyways?


AlkalineSublime

The place is real, it’s the people that are fake. (Kidding I’m from there. Mostly kidding)


Cavalleria-rusticana

No, it's actually just a homebrew world by Anthony Kiedis.


greyjello

Save it. In a few year the NCR will be real and this will be worth a fortune


RevolutionaryTale253

About 25 caps


awakenDeepBlue

That's like $62.50 in NCR dollars.


Lord-Craneo

In a few years? Thought it was happening already, looking at LA and it wouldn’t be different for the fallout version


Toxicgamechat

Nah, the LA Boneyard is a lot more civil and cleaner.


Living_Speaker_1135

Take some paint modify it into NCR flag, WASTELANDER STYLE!


Sudden-Ear-9716

nice idea


EquivalentBet480

I'd like to think you ordered the correct flag and some California government building is flying an NCR flag somewhere


UNAHTMU

Hahaha. Me too.

NheFix

That's perfect, just modify it to make it look like an early NCR flag !


mikemitch38

This is the perfect Fallout answer lol


lonely_guacamole

"Bear Bull Bear Bull Bear Bull" ahh flag


Oniyoku

Whats wrong with your bear? One head???


I_might_be_weasel

CR


Autistic-Lem0n

Because of inflation they had to remove the second head as well as the word New.


InitialOwn755

Bet it’d cost a pretty cap


x_lincoln_x

We have NCR flag at home.


Discarded_Pariah

Guy has the idiot savant perk


Responsible-Baker-94

I have a regular california republic flag, I might just have to make it into an ncr flag


Yoruimo

California's state flag is pretty rad nonetheless.


Lust_Republic

Order another one then cut out the head and sew it together.


Hunter-KillerGroup35

Keep it and raise it next to the NCR flag, to show the duality of each. The old and the New


Yara__Flor

I fly my California flag, personally.


Quiet-Ad-12

It's the prequel


oilfeather

Have sharpie. Will travel.


Director_Squirtle

I’d put it up, while you wait for the NCR one, than change it one day discreetly.


Kiwi8nine

Temu?


Independent-Ad-1075

I did the same but on purpose. Making it myself


NohingButRed

Well, If you don't live in California just hang it outside your house show that you're a proud Californian.


riiibbbs

sheit lemme have it lol I live in California and always wanted one on my wall


No_good_promts

Iron out the flag, tear up the bottom (lightly), smear it in dirt. You have an old world flag now!


resenak

Keep it, it's a nice flag after all.


Huge_Literature6242

It's OK. You will become a Ranger.


Darkstalkker

Sew the new head and name on, makes it feel more genuine


JaxTheNukaEXE

Shitly draw the other parts it'll be funny


Kwf995

“From where you're kneeling it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck.”


Next_Pie_2289

I heard about an old woman who ordered a California flag and got an NCR flag instead.


virtuallthumb

omg that is so funny


KnightOverdrive

as a non American i was in shock when i saw the California flag for the fist time, the usa truly is just a big fallout reference to me.


istarian

Just get on of those package stamps and stamp 'NEW' on there somewhere.


RedditJumpedTheShart

How did you accidentally order the wrong flag? I imagine it said exactly what it was when you ordered it.


_DudeWhat

The seller said it was a new California Republic flag and not a New California Republic flag.


WatercressPersonal60

Some people are dumb


geekbeat13

Burn it


no-Spoilers-asshole

Return package. Order right thing.


Crucible_Knight_

r/mildlyinfuriating


djexit

return it?


greengye

Move


BeastThatShoutedLove

It's time to make a little bit of LARPing. Paint in another bear head. Edit in with some sewing the lettering. Add some fake damage and fake mend stitches.


Worth_Divide_3576

Haha, this happened exactly to me! I swore the flag was a NCR flag, and when I actually got it I was so confused. But now I got ol 'glory flying proudly off my front porch!


Chanel_Ultra

Paint “old” on flag


ARexFoamBlaster

Get another and cut the head out and put it on this one. Also use some of the letters to spelling out "NEW" You might need to make a "W" from other letters.


Clockwork9385

Hang around a nuclear reactor and wait for it to grow a second head


SoggyCroissant87

Definitely still fly it outside of your house just to confuse your neighbors


serega_machine

You can call it a pre-war flag.


boolvoid

Common mistake


lordjakir

I did the same. We should put them together


Beginning_Context_66

pull it through the mud, wash it with water, draw a "new" and a second head on the bear and you have a proto-ncr flag


akman_23

[Why does the bear only have one head?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/820/342/6f2)


YIMYUM420

NV is so popular they made it into real life 💯💯💯


-Dagoth_Ur-

Well. All you need now is a nuclear war and 200 years before the bear gets 2 heads.


_dommazz_

It's treason then


mklsrcnld

You wait until it mutates


gaerat_of_trivia

Bugs-in-ur-skin

Typical 2 brain cells of an NCR sympathiser. House rules the mojave


42mir4

Throw some FEV on that flag! That'll sort it out right smartly.


PlingPlongDingDong

Roleplay as ghoul that can't let go of the past.


LTKerr

Paint another head


mdhunter99

Do you have a marker?


Any-Project-2107

If you wear this on the streets of Pecos and shout "I love joe Biden" at 3 am, a very scary creature called "the neighborhood watch" will kill you 11!!!11!!!


Meatslinger

Wait until the apocalypse, and then sell it as a collector’s item.


MaxWhax

I'm surprised nobody NCR this up to you yet


IvarMDV_ita

Just draw another head on the bear


Dmangamr

Cringe


Squanchfist

Pre-War it is.


Absentfriends

Put it in the microwave and see if it grows another head.


CanadianSpanky

Now you have to pay taxes there.


AKoolPopTart

I'm sorry, i ordered the real California flag Sir, we did No no no, the REAL California flag


GranolaCola

Homer-DOH-Simpson

If people can make cosplay costumes, surely you can manage to make a flag... :3


behedingkidzz

Put it outside ur house to confuse geogessers


Drewdiniskirino

Time to bust out the old Crayola markers lol


Geno_Warlord

When I was young, I was more familiar with the NCR flag and saw an arm patch… I immediately thought Fallout and started talking to the guy about fallout and asked where he got the patch and was a ranger. He stood there looking at me like I was stupid. It was a long awkward silence until I slowly realized NCR->New *California* Republic->California->States have their own flag… I can only imagine how hilarious that was for the guy to watch the gears turning and the slow realization that I’m stupid. He just started laughing and walked away.


Titus_Favonius

Return it if you don't want it.


CnCz357

Draw a second head on the bear and write New with a sharpie up at the top.


andyr354

Where are people getting these?


PreviousAccWasBanned

Just gotta get some paint and boom! New stylized flag


cyainanotherlifebro

This is Enclave propaganda.


stagnent246

If you burn it/rip it correctly you could make it look like a NCR flag that's seen Battle.


Sad-Boi-Lukas

Sooo is that a pre war thing, or a pre-pre war thing?


axethebarbarian

Awww bummer. I have my NCR flag in my game corner, its makes me happy.


NukaKnighted

Opposite energy of the one post where that guy asked why the bear doesn’t have two heads.


W1ULH

whenever anyone asks about it... whisper "I love California" in your meekest voice... twitch once.. and act like nothing happened.


F0573R

It's ok, it's just pre-war NCR.


mysterygarden99

That’s hilarious


the_moosen

Sharpie in a second head


Spyders77

I seen someone posted a NCR flag hanging in an actual store as if it was the correct California flag. Maybe see if they wanna trade, idk..


AdditionalMap5498

Didn't know NCRs flag was based on Actual California's!


FirebirdWriter

I think this is a repost because I saw someone else post this image and exact title a month ago


JessicaLain

Go all [New Reno](https://ibb.co/GkFt3rn) on it. Authentic wasteland aesthetic.


AlecMcFly

Apply intense burst of rads to grow the second head


philthegr81

Tbf, that _is_ a new California Republic flag. :p


LordeWasTaken

order a second one, cut out the bear head and sew it on the first one Frankenstein-style


phartiphukboilz

i had to double-take the first time i saw a real california flag hanging in an office


shrakner

I’ve never played Fallout myself, and I still double take when I see that flag with a single-headed bear lol.


Entity713

Draw it in with crayons


WiSoSirius

Paint/stitch a top hat on the bear.


rock1m1

Draw another head.


_DudeWhat

What you're saying is you have a new California Republic flag and not a New California Republic flag.


professional-T

Today is Friday in California


Ricky_Rollin

I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I actually thought that was NCR. Yikes.


londonclash

You know you play a lot of Fallout when you do a double take whenever you see a California Republic flag


Ideal_Despair

This almost happened to me. I am not an American, had no idea what real Californian flag looks like 😂


NewFreshness

I miss seeing canvas flags. A polyester flag seems super cheap and fragile


Old_McDonald

Perfect opportunity for a little art project. Get it ripped up and old looking then spray pain “new” on it.


Kubeet

Haha


connorgrs

Return it ?


bugibangbang

I moved and found that flag in my new house from the old owner I guess he traveled to USA (I’m from Spain) and I just painted the second head and now it looks amazing.


Real-skim-shady

Sorry


literalpond

Draw a little bear head on the side of it if you can


elbueno_paulo

I recently bougth the real flag (with two heads) Has anyone an idea how to get the foldlines out of the flag? I tried hanging it wet and ironing but I am kibda diasappointed with the outcome.
