In all seriousness though, I kinda liked the tricolor, I would've liked to see some green. Definite improvement over the original on all counts though.
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 I like the final version, maybe even more so than the triband design that was butchered to create this one, but I don’t think I necessarily would have supported it if it had been an option from the start.
Maybe an odd way to put this, but it feels like a flag that I could have designed in an afternoon after skimming the state’s Wikipedia article and messing around with geometric shapes in Inkscape (which is my usual method).
Haha, that's fun. But on a somewhat but not really related note, something cool about this flag is that you can take the inverted chevron & star and add whatever you want, and it'll still be recognizably Minnesotan. You can replace the light blue field with a pride flag, change the colors of the flag entirely, or add alligator teeth ig, and you can still tell that it's a Minnesota flag variant. It's kinda like the rectangle with 50 stars in the U.S. flag, and it's great to see flags that can be remixed like this.
I also preferred the stripes, but I'd say this one is more than okay. I think opinions would generally be more positive if we didn't have the original design to compare to. A downgrade, but still a great flag nonetheless.
I think this is a really nice flag! It's a simple, satisfying design separated from others by the unique color palette (consisting of very wintery colors, btw) and the inverted chevron resembling the shape of the state. I miss the stripe in the middle, but it's still an awesome flag as is.
