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

    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.
