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

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

~~Personally not a fan of Iceland-with-star, as most Scandihoovians here are of Swedish or Norwegian ancestry (in that order if I remember right, but don't quote me), not Icelandic. I like the dichromatic Nordic cross better~~, but I prefer #1, with the non-wavy centered stars close behind. If I had to pick, I think I like center-star-with-green more than center-star-with-snowflake even though the former has too many colors---green = forest = Minnesota.

Edit: I apologize for my colorblind ass

Iceland has a red cross, not a green one, so it isn't Iceland-with-star.

I legitimately thought the cross above was red lol. Looking at it now it's clearly green; my guess is my phone's blue light filter last night and my colorblindness were factors.
