If Oklahoma took the big "OKLAHOMA" off the bottom of the flag, we'd have a fairly kickass flag and there'd be something good to say about this shithole. It's not exactly Texas or New Mexico, but this state has a lot of history (especially with the tribes) crammed into a short segment of time so the symbolism is there. It's a complicated flag for a complicated place.
Prior to 1941, this is how the flag looked
And it's so significantly better. It's unique and truly representative of this place. Nobody is confusing this flag for another, except maybe for the blue field.
But hey, Tulsa's new flag is pretty great.
My state has the same.
At least my city flag rocks.
Chicago? Lol
Wichita.
That's a good one, Denver also has a great flag
That is a lovely flag.
Honestly I would have been okay with Minnesota's new seal on a bedsheet for the flag, we've got a nice looking loon now, but I like the new flag too.
It's true that's what's happening anytime you hear a loon call.
Call doesn't seem like the right word. More like shriek.
*pierce the air with high-frequency hatred
Call doesn't seem like the right word. More like shriek.
It's a warning
Loon: “Ima firin’ mah lazer”
They picked the right design, but they dropped the tri-color stripes? I'm happy with it regardless. Looks great
Welp… can’t unsee that now
I know, right? This should be a series.
I wonder if CGP Grey will be disappointed or not. https://youtu.be/lFwwo0W5Ugg
He was praising the reverse chevron which they kept. My argument is that a kid should be able to draw it with crayons to enough detail that grown-ups recognize it. And it does that nicely.
I know I am, but at least the inverted side is kept, and the two blues could be thought of as keeping with the Sioux word for sky-tinted water that Minnesota got its name from.
It could have gone worse for him, but it’s definitely not what he wanted!
I live here, personally the simplicity is growing on me, at least they didn't change the colors to be bright and obnoxious like some of the other variations of it proprosed.
The simple two blues and white feels cozy, the tricolor feels like it'd be an amazing country flag, but for a state I feel the simplicity is a benefit.

A bit. They picked his favorite design but he didn't like the variations as much. Im disappointed they dropped the extra color.

Born and raised in Minnesota. Plan to die here. I can confirm this is 100% accurate.
