It'd be awesome to let this get passed and have the people vote on the final design. The current "seal-on-a-bedsheet" design is so bland and is easily confused for several other states.

I read some of the comments from opposing votes on the bill and you have these guys concerned that loggers and moose won't get proper representation on the 1901 flag like they do on the seal. And? Most flags don't represent every little thing about the state. It's a bad faith argument simply because of the letter next to the bill sponsor's name

Yeah, look at New Mexico and Alaska, great flags that represent only 1-2 things about their state, but are so iconic. I want an iconic flag!

I'd love to see a contest where artists submit their designs and it's narrowed down to 5 choices for the ballot. Current, 1901, and three citizen entries. We have ranked choice voting, let's use it!
