50 Days, 50 States; Day 1: Alabama

Current Flag:

To me, this is one of the few state flags that is actually simple, good, and memorable. However, I see that attempt to sneak in the Confederate flag. Not cool, Alabama, not cool.

Redesign:

I made this with Scrontch’s Flag Designer. It’s good for simple flags. This one features a white field charged with a red cross, which is drawn from the original flag. It also features a cotton flower, a symbol of the south. I like this, because, unlike the Confederate Flag, it represents the region, but also gives remembrance to those who were enslaved in the past.

50 Days, 50 States

From now on, for the next 50 days, I will be redesigning one new state flag every day. No matter what I think of this flag, I will redesign it and try to make it better. Each flag will have meaning and symbolism, but I will try to make them minimalistic.
