50 Days, 50 States; Day 42: Tennessee

Current Flag:

Flag of Tennessee.svg

This seems to be an okay flag. The stars represent the 3 “grand divisions” of Tennessee, and the circle represents their unity. According to the designer, the blue and white stripes are just aesthetic. This flag may have Confederate symbolism, but I’m not sure. Either way, I’m going to remove the colors, because they don’t symbolize Tennessee, just the US as a whole. Instead, I’ll use the proposed state colors: Orange and white.

My Redesign:

My flag is based off of the original Tennessee state flag. The three stripes represent the Grand Divisions, and the star represents unity.
