This is so cool, and the new flag is a great choice. It hides a map of Minnesota within itself and can be hung vertically and still look good.

I still liked this one most because I'm a huge symmetry fanboy

But this one was a very close second for me and I'm really happy ~~the voters chose it~~ this was chosen (my bad) over the other two. Guess I should have moved to Minnesota.

It wasn't a vote, there was a flag redesign committee (otherwise we would have ended up with Flagy McFlagface). The star snowflake was my favorite as well, but I'm happy with what we went with and anything would have been better than the old seal on a bedsheet.

The dark blue is roughly the shape of Minnesota.

Looks like a K to me. Does Colorado get to claim the “rough shape” of it is in every flag lol?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I guess by Minnesota's standards they should be able to.

yoooo did MN get new flag?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

CGP Grey is all over it. The design they picked is pretty sweet.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They did. And it's pretty nice.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Much better than the old one.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We did get a new flag! People are losing their shit over it.

Hey Oregon has a two sided flag with a cute beaver on it.

I'm sure CGP Grey is very pleased with the result.

A members only first impression video is up.

i think he is also a bit disappointed they changed the tri-colour into a single colour but this one is still a solid A-tier

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

This is the more accurate Minnesota version.

That's actually the reason for the 2 in the title, someone else posted laser loon before me and while this is good, laser loon is better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yes! I love that this is being accepted.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Damn nice flag. Well done, #Minnesota.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That's a sick ass flag. All my favorite colors in my birth state.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I suddenly want the Minnesota flag.
