Pocatello recently changed their flag to this. I’d like Idaho’s to be some sort of variant of it.
I want it to look like this:
https://preview.redd.it/04gtqhh8w23d1.jpeg?width=437&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=089971389d1f048ffbe8b93886778a368b4d13e4

This would be a cool state flag for Va idk what it stands for tho
Not on a blue background, but one of the few state seal + white background, and like this.
https://preview.redd.it/te6pkb8jk73d1.png?width=290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8481961f80830a6c14507c93b3ef8e811b248949

It keeps the idea of the seal but:
Simpler The pelican being in the shape of the fleur-de-lis is more prominent Cooler pelican design The yellow ties in the Spanish influence left on the state
Imo the pelican makes it too complicated for a flag despite it being a really clever design idea in general (I think it’d be more suited for a logo than a flag). Fleur de Lis on the bicolor would be great though.
Isn’t Louisiana more prominent on its French influences? Or at least that’s what it’s known for. I don’t think Spain did much during the 20 smth years it held the Louisiana territory
Hot Take: I want more State Seals on Blue Backgrounds.
Normal Take: I don't think they're really that bad. I blame CGP Grey and his following for the insistence that they are.
Indiana could just remove the word “Indiana” from the flag and it’d be fine, nothing groundbreaking but it’s a pretty solid flag honestly, but so many states insist on labeling their flags to make sure you know which one your looking at
Indiana is a cool flag, but I want it to be more distinctive. I want a flag that sets my state apart as opposed to blend in. If I want to blend in I fly an american flag. I want a flag that I can get a patch or button or decal or whatever and people know where I'm from.

Here's my redesign for if Michigan ever needs a new flag.
Yeah but it says “Republic”, which saves it design-wise (even though the California Republic was barely a real thing, just a couple hundred Americans in Sonoma with guns and a flag).
https://preview.redd.it/qrvdp7gvs83d1.jpeg?width=1278&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=defb4bb9c6087b8c6aca4e34639502c2eb8e6544
Made this one. Star in top left so it is on top regardless of orientation and to represent its place as a state, white tailed deer is Michigan state animal, blue for the Great Lakes, and green for the peninsulas
My suggestion is a flag with three vertical stripes - black (industrial history), green (agriculture), and blue (liberty) with a white keystone in the center to represent the history of Pennsylvania as it generally was geographically
One of the most entertaining aspects of changing your state flag to something more distinctive is the social media posts from Qanon Inbreds and similar conservatives.
Fans of the old flag claim that the new flag promotes Communism, Homosexuality, Islam, atheism or some combination of these.

I want the old man of the fucking mountain.
Also i have to say Utah's new flag is one of the better ones. Real glow up from the seal on blue background.
You didn’t ask for my opinions but I’ll give them anyway
Connecticut isn’t bad; grape vines are appealing
Idaho can change
Indiana is nice
Kansas should return to their old flag, which is a sunflower on a blue background
I don’t mind Kentucky
Maine should use their old flag, a tan sheet with a green pine tree and a blue star.
Michigan should change but I don’t know to what
Minnesota did change and it’s horrible
Montana needs help
Nebraska could at least add color
Nevada is distinct enough I don’t have a problem
New York can stay.
North Dakota deserves a bland flag
Oklahoma doesn’t actually have a seal; it’s a few Indian symbols overlayed. I’d like it if they got rid of the “Oklahoma” underneath.
Oregon is fine.
Pennsylvania is fine.
South Dakota needs Rushmore on their flag since it’s the only interesting part of their state.
Vermont could go back to the Green Mountain Boys flag or could simply its current flag.
Virginia is a classic and should remain so.
Wisconsin should change something but I’ll leave that up to them.
Sunflower seeds are popular in trail mix, multi-grain bread and nutrition bars, as well as for snacking straight from the bag. They’re rich in healthy fats, beneficial plant compounds and several vitamins and minerals. These nutrients may play a role in reducing your risk of common health problems, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

I've never seen a criticism for the state seal + blue background flags that isn't just "it looks bad" or "it violates the subjective rules someone made up that one time"
Most state flags were adopted after the Civil War. The seal on blue design was used to signify that states were a part of the Union and not national governments. Notice how Southern states don't have seal-on-blue designs?
In conclusion, anyone who tries to redesign the seal-on-blue flags is a racist, lost cause Neo-Confederate. Without exception.

The back of our flag should be the whole flag. The fact that it says 'The State of Oregon - 1859' is pretty cringe
Yet I think it’s unique we’re the only state flag to have two different sides. Though just the state seal on one side is not good.
https://preview.redd.it/i2gpisgwb73d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62c01568e0e3708e5982fcd80cd6cda604bd50ce It keeps the idea of the seal but: Simpler The pelican being in the shape of the fleur-de-lis is more prominent Cooler pelican design The yellow ties in the Spanish influence left on the state
Imo the pelican makes it too complicated for a flag despite it being a really clever design idea in general (I think it’d be more suited for a logo than a flag). Fleur de Lis on the bicolor would be great though.
Isn’t Louisiana more prominent on its French influences? Or at least that’s what it’s known for. I don’t think Spain did much during the 20 smth years it held the Louisiana territory
Kid named doesn't know how to spell 'something' and doesn't know what the fleur-de-lis is.
I was talking about the yellow that the poster mentioned and him mentioning the Spanish influences
Because who would know what the Yellow meant without him saying it? Plus the French influence is obvious
If ik what it meant I wouldn’t be asking it..? It’s just a question lol..?
I genuinely forget that middle schoolers use this site sometimes
While yes it is, Spain does have influences in it architecture, laws and in creole culture.
Oh hey thanks for explaining!
A giant potato
Release the other tit on VAs flag.
I feel like the blue background isn’t terrible for all states, I think it works for CT and for LA quite well.
Virginia is perfect - stated by a Virginian
Hot Take: I want more State Seals on Blue Backgrounds. Normal Take: I don't think they're really that bad. I blame CGP Grey and his following for the insistence that they are.
CGP grey and his opinions have been a disaster for state flags. I, for one, enjoy the simplicity of Indianas flag
Indiana could just remove the word “Indiana” from the flag and it’d be fine, nothing groundbreaking but it’s a pretty solid flag honestly, but so many states insist on labeling their flags to make sure you know which one your looking at
same with oklahoma
same with oklahoma
Indiana is a cool flag, but I want it to be more distinctive. I want a flag that sets my state apart as opposed to blend in. If I want to blend in I fly an american flag. I want a flag that I can get a patch or button or decal or whatever and people know where I'm from.
I mostly agree with him, but he's way too harsh on Indiana. The flag is recognizable and aesthetically pleasing, and I couldn't ask for anything more.
Some of his takes are bad, like who honestly cares about Writing on flags, but I would like them to be more distinct.
As a Californian I will never forgive him for his trolling regarding our perfect flag.
Agreed. No other flag on Earth could be so fitting even after a nuclear apocalypse with only the slightest of tweaks
Isn’t there some Russian oblast flag that’s a bear taming an atom? I’d say that’s at least a close second in that regard.
I gotta see that, that sounds fuckin awesome

Shush, let them keep their blue bedsheets so we can continue having the most American looking state flag
You’re right
True, the more blue flags there are, the more Maryland's flag is undeniably the best.

Wait this goes so hard. Plus it breaks one NAVA rule (simplicity), so that's nice.
Just move the star over into the blue stripe and it'd be a nice flag.
Michigan’s flag should just be Dan Campbell breaking a knee cap
Wyoming is the pinnacle of blue bedsheets. Nothing should attempt to improve it because nothing can improve it.
just remove the seal and it'd be the best state flag of blue bedsheets - wisconsinite
I want Washington’s flag to reflect its west east divide somehow.

Star in top left so it is on top regardless of orientation and to represent its place as a state, white tailed deer is Michigan state animal, blue for the Great Lakes, and green for the peninsulas
I feel like the PA flag should at least include a keystone.
My suggestion is a flag with three vertical stripes - black (industrial history), green (agriculture), and blue (liberty) with a white keystone in the center to represent the history of Pennsylvania as it generally was geographically
For a blue field and seal flag, Vermont's is pretty good. I'd like to see us revert to the flag of the Vermont Republic however.
TBH one of the only good things about Ohio is its flag, I love it.
Why change when you already have MÖÖSE on your flag?
Something including the Mackinac bridge.
chez flag!
One of the most entertaining aspects of changing your state flag to something more distinctive is the social media posts from Qanon Inbreds and similar conservatives. Fans of the old flag claim that the new flag promotes Communism, Homosexuality, Islam, atheism or some combination of these.
