The current flag looks like this, which obviously needs changing:

There is a commission tasked with proposing a new design. A news article about it is available here: https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minnesota-house-bill-moves-forward-commission-to-redesign-state-flag-and-seal/

The top proposal, called “The North Star Flag”, seems to be a popular favorite.

I gathered these proposals from these two sites: https://newmnflag.org/designs https://vexillology.fandom.com/wiki/Minnesota

Is this because they got slagged off by CGP Gray?

If CGP Gray slagging off shite flags gets places to update them then good, maybe he can do transit infrastructure next

Ha! Sadly CGP grey loves his teslas and cars. His video about how self driving cars are the future shows a dystopian idea where pedestrians or cyclists have no space on the roads at all. (And he doesn’t even consider trains or other public transit)

I vote for #10, the 4yr old’s rendition of a Lovecraftian horror.

Minnesotan here. #4 from the top has my vote hands down. Nice clean flag, not too complicated.

Not a Minnesotan but I agree, #4 is the best.

So just the big fancy star? Or the Nordic Cross?

By #4 I mean the yellow and white star that looks like a quilt block.

Non-minnesotan but I agree on #4 it also allows it to be reproduced on other mediums like buttons and patches easily.

Minnesota native here - definitely agree, that’s a great design. Plenty of potential for it to become an iconic flag.

Those last 5 are absolutely unhinged and I love them. I think that number 4 is really the best choice though

Seriously what are the stories on those? Surely they were submitted by children or something?

Take it from a Coloradan, get yourself a nice, clean flag design and the merch will sell itself.
