The Very Specific Interests and Ideas of one Person. Currently Politics, Cooking, and Vexillology.
Current Flag:
Ok, this is undoubtedly the best state flag ever. I don’t want to have a performance like Colorado, so I’m going to almost completely make it over. 🙁
My Redesign:
So, I kept the same symbol used on the original flag, but I added the Spanish Cross of Burgundy, used when New Mexico was part of New Spain.
Current flag:
Again, seal on bedsheet. But the plows are cool!
My Redesign:
I used the plows on a triband using the same colors as the original flag.
Current Flag:
Seal on bedsheet. Nothing to see here.
My Redesign:
I used the proposed state colors for New Hampshire, red and yellow, for this flag. The rose is the one featured on the flag of the British county of Hampshire, and the Old Man of the Mountain, a symbol of New Hampshire, is featured on the right.
Current Flag:
Not quite a seal on bedsheet, but too close. Nothing to work with here.
My Redesign:
I used sagebrush, the state flower, plus the colors silver and gold, which appear on the first state flag.
Current Flag:
Seal on bedsheet. Fun fact: This flag flew upside down for 10 days at the state capital and no one noticed.
My Redesign:
The blue and gold are the original colors of the flag. The tricolor makes a crude “=,” a nod to the motto on the original flag. I used the anvil because it was kind of like the center of the seal on the original flag.
Current Flag:
This is another seal on bedsheet, but at least there’s the name of the state so you know where you are!
My Redesign:
This flag represents the name Montana with the mountains, and the gold and silver mountains represent the motto “Oro Y Plata.”
Current Flag:
This is okay, as seals on bedsheets go, since it has that nice triangle and the stars. There are, however, good flags within this flag. If you look closely, you see the bear and crescent. Together, those could make a great flag.
My Redesign:
There we go! I kept the same colors, but modified the red a bit to match the background of the bear.
Current Flag:
I guess this is an okay flag…OH MY GOD MISSISSIPPI WHY IS THAT THERE‽ …Who just puts a Confederate Battle Flag on their state flag? Why? This flag has a lot of work to be done on it…
Proposed Flag:
This is called the Hospitality Flag. The stars represent Mississippi as the 20th state, the middle one being for Mississippi and the others being for other states.
My Redesign:
I basically used the same symbolism as the Hospitality Flag, but I kept the old triband. I kind of like the colors.
Current Flag:
Another seal on bedsheet. Nothing to see here.
Proposed New Flag:
This flag represents the North Star and the waves represent represent the name Minnesota, a Dakota word which means “sky-tinted waters.” This is pretty okay.
My Redesign:
I basically used the same symbol as the North Star Flag, but I made the colors a bit more easy on the eye.
Current Flag:
This is an SOB, but I can see a good flag within it. Do you see the sun rising over the water? I think that could make a great flag.
My Redesign:
What did I tell you? This flag represents the sun rising over the great lakes.
