..and CGP Grey is currently jumping up and down with excitement. :)

Don't blame him tbh. F1953 was my favorite out of the 6 finalists, so I'm glad to see that it's going to become an actual state flag.

Now let's hope that they don't mess it up with all of the changes they're making….

Watch, they'll put the state seal inside the star and write "MINNESOTA" on the white band and make it look hideous.

There's one guy on the commission who really wants to make the "Minnesota" part asymmetrical...

[–] BorisBoreUs@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

No blame :) that was the one he was gunning for. It's definitely the best of the finalists.

This was the best choice of the final three. I wonder which variation will be chosen.

Super clean. Much improved over what they have now.

Hooray, Whale Vomiting Toothpaste beat Windows XP Background and Caricature of a Sad Clown.

F29 was better. But at least it’s not the weird “origami flowers” finalist.

"Green Lives Matter", I guess?
