Minnesota is in the process of proposing a new state flag. Here are some proposals, circulating online. Many feature the North Star, a symbol of the state.

Why does it obviously need changing? The new design will be talked about for like aonth…people will love it and hate it, then no one will care again.

Every state whose flag is just the state seal over a blue or white background should be forced to change their flag. The concept is offensively boring.

And caring about a picture on cloth isn’t?

Especially one that only locals see.

Does lemmy have a version of lost redditors? Because you are in the wrong sub.

@PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

Because it’s ugly

Beats me, its got five star-cocks surrounding the seal.

The whole point of a Minnesota flag is to have an easy way to display you’re Minnesotan. Literally half of the state flags look the exact same as ours if there isn’t a wind blowing, and genuinely that number doesn’t go down much even WITH a breeze.
If we have something more iconic, noticeable at a glance, it’s marketable. Think about Britain’s flag on all their tourist merch. Think about the MOA star on everything to do with the mall, think “I <3 NYU” mugs, shirts, hats.
