    • The whole point of a Minnesota flag is to have an easy way to display you’re Minnesotan. Literally half of the state flags look the exact same as ours if there isn’t a wind blowing, and genuinely that number doesn’t go down much even WITH a breeze.
    • If we have something more iconic, noticeable at a glance, it’s marketable. Think about Britain’s flag on all their tourist merch. Think about the MOA star on everything to do with the mall, think “I <3 NYU” mugs, shirts, hats.

      As someone who lives in Maryland, the marketability is a big deal. Our flag is on everything … and it sells.
