They should have gone the Ohio route and said "fuck you, you need to use an alpha channel"
Still better than a seal on a bedsheet. But there's a trend with new flags that make them all look corporate.
Its the corporate Facebook blue for me. Totally ruined color because its on everything.
New Jersey has the seal on the bedsheet, IMO they should change it to this https://twitter.com/NJGov/status/1420098327509676033
Cgp grey can’t keep getting away with it
The fact that he hates one of the best state flags because it has a singular “C” on it (never mind its clear visibility and simple geometric design) means I can’t take his opinions on flags seriously.
And he hates on South Carolina’s flag for no good reason.
Both of those got ranked under North Carolina, which has a big “NC”, two dates on it, and is otherwise just the same as the Texas flag.
He hates the California flag, he should not be listened to
They had many decent (non meme) proposals. Even the proposal this is based on wasn’t horrible, although it wasn’t the best. But then they decided to remove the tricolor and just make it a completely plain background. Why?
The original proposal, for reference
Yeah, making the right section a solid color completely throws off the balance of the flag, and you lose the symbolism of snow, forests, and water. Kinda baffling, but I guess that's the problem with design by committee--you end up with something just bland enough to pass a vote.
Still leagues better than the state emblem slapped on a blue background, so it's progress I suppose
damn this is so boring. they could have went with the ussr flag
i believe the biggest problem the lack of contrast. leftist flags usually have colors that POP!
it also looks really arbitrary, but this has probably something to do with the fact that its minnesota.
The left side looks like a simplified map of the state, which is kinda fun.
the real flag
every state flag should be californiaforme but with variant state animals
I loved this one
Fuck you dude, Missouri has 3 bears in it. Thats 3x better than California's flag.
The only downside is that it's Missouri
We need to make them bigger.

THEY COULDVE JUST PICKED THE FUCKING NORTH STAR FLAG IT WAS THAT EASY
I feel like every time I see the updated version of the new flag it gets worse. Like didn't it used to have more colors?

Should've been two people on a canoe as I understand this is what Minnesotans do 24/7.
the triangle should face the other way
Why do states in America need flags? I never understood this
it's because america hates women
edit: ok real answer we like to pretend that the states all have real differences when by and large they really dont
Counter point: Vexillogy is in fact good and seal on bedsheet is lame. People just took the worst most boring lessons from that TED talk/CPGrey video l/ don’t realize Grey has poor aesthetic tastes that’s the issue.
Counter counter point: Utah having a war over its new flag being “woke” is hillarious.
the smarmy thing about CPG and like redditors is that they codified their bad aesthetics into rules and expectations that they trot around instead of just having preferences.
"the california flag just doesn't do it for me" vs "california's flag has WORDS and those are against the rulrs D- see me after class🤣"
people unironically think Maryland's flag is bad instead of cool as fuck 
CPGrey does love the Maryland flag, to be honest.
I really like it, I think it's an improvement over the proposals
Pretty sure I made this exact flag in MS paint when I was 14.
Sad that Mississisppi of all states has the best new flag redesign.
its okay. i think it's cute that it's shaped like the state. the colors are boring tho.
I think it's neat
