I’m not a fan of how much the design was changed (i.e., the fact that they just completely got rid of the stripes), but it’s still a pretty solid flag!

    Agreed, the stripes are an unfortunate loss, but I’m pleased they didn’t use the “M shaped” star orientation and instead went for the star pointing north. Neither were from the original submission, but overall, the commission’s work will massively elevate the MN flag. Can’t wait to buy myself a small one for home.

    Very pretty. But without the stripes, I think I own a pair of swimming trunks that look just like that.

      I think you’re on to something. These flag-inspired swimming trunks will sell like hotcakes hotdish in the Twin Cities come summer!
