This thread is kind of inspired by the "What's wrong with your faaace!?!?" thread, but instead of just faces, it's anything about a (genuine) pin that really bugs or annoys you. Did the artist get some detail wrong? Is it out of proportion? Is it just plain badly designed? Something else?

As for me, I get to Epcot every year or every other year, and I really love the World Showcase. Each time I go I tell myself "You know, I should collect that set of Mickey ears World Showcase pins. It would make a nice display!" Being from Canada, I really like the Canadian flag one!

But then, every year, I eventually lay eyes on <Roz voice>this pin</Roz voice>:



This isn't a UK Union Jack! What's going on here!?!? They sell the correct version of the UK flag (link) in DLRP, but they still sell the version above on racks in WDW. :(
 
Finally someone else who gets bothered by this pin! The Paris one is indeed correct but I never knew it existed. If you are going to design a pin with this significance, it should at least be done right. Lets face it, it is hardly complicated lol.
 
My mom is also Canadian. I took her back to the parks this summer after 40 years (she moved from Canada to California when she was little and used to visit Disneyland as a child) and when she saw that pin, she had to have it! She now wears it permanently, with a locking back, on her coat haha!
