As someone from outside the USA, I’m surprised a state flag looks this good. I dig it.
There has been a recent movement of states with bad flags trying to improve their image. Illinois might be next and I’m quite excited about it as it’s long overdue!
I thought, “Doesn’t Illinois have one of the few good state flags?”
Nope, I was thinking of the city flag of Chicago. The state flag is literally just the state crest on a white background. It would absolutely benefit from a redesign. :p
There’s actually a few nice ones. Check out New Mexico, one of my personal favourites.
I think NM is ok, but we Coloradoans fuckin’ LOVE our flag.

All good things in America should be treated with suspicion
It’s not uncommon to have religious symbolism in flags. 🇦🇨🇦🇫🇧🇲🇦🇺🇦🇮🇧🇻🇮🇪🇬🇧🇸🇦🇫🇮🇫🇴🇸🇪🇮🇶🏴🏴
Just a quick glance through flag emojis for some.
Love that someone downvoted this
Probably for implying that “we’re going to conquer the world for our religion that was specifically racist until 2013 and abolish the separation of church and state” is the same thing as a cross or moon.
Wait until you hear about Islam 🇮🇶🇸🇦

You’re looking at the Minnesota flag through the eyes of someone with lots of good choices who didn’t get what they want. I think there’s no doubt that the current new flag is an upgrade from the old one.
