    I mean, once you realize the meaning behind it I like it more

    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.

    Æsthetical, recognisable, not busy, with a subtle nod to the shape of the state. I like it.

    I can only hope the ice blue keeps people away from Minnesota.

    @ThatOneKirbyMain2568 I’m not vexillologically oriented, but I’m very happy with it. It stands out and the k and star identify the state well. I’ve always liked the two colors of blue. Without all the choices, it would have been a no-brainer hit, but given all the options (and the change from the submitted design) people have all sorts of regrets over missed options. Personally, I preferred two stripes to the right of the K, but c’est la vie.

    @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).

    It’s also helpful to see it waving, so here’s a photo of that.

    @ThatOneKirbyMain2568 I personally preferred the original 3 stripe design. This one is okay, but not as good as the original.

      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.
