If the flag can’t be flown upside-down, how will we know if Minnesota is in distress?

[dantepearl]

Looks like a damn bottled water dispenser...🤣

[robertrinehuls]

If that guy's a ventriloquist he's not very good at it. I could see his lips moving when he held up the little flag.

[luisreyes]

Looks like a flag for a Pacific Ocean island nation.

I would prefer not to change it. This is not for the better, pretending history didn't happen doesn't make it go away.

[UmQasaann]

The K meaning the shape of Minasota is really clever.

[jlunde]

The good news is when it’s flown against a bright blue sky, you’ll hardly notice it. Perfect

[crunchycrispychip]

Really disappointing design tbh. Nothing about it makes me think of Minnesota.

The state flag of Minnesota should be a Rainbow with an Islamic crescent moon.

Before they got rid of the white and green, it looked almost exactly like the flag of Puntland, Somalia, where Ilhan Omar's clan is from. I wonder why this flag expert never mentioned that?
Listening to this guy try and justify this new flag is painful. Everything he says is an afterthought, and didn't actually go into the creation process. "Some people said these are little M's right here!" Give me a break.

Why isn't anyone questioning the reason this is happening??

[markh]

Why not just leave it alone? Nothing wrong with what we had.

[Commut]

It's perfect because it can offend no one and is instantly forgettable.

[Zipline]

Honestly, I really prefer the older tricolor design for this flag, but this is fine ig but it is a noticeable downgrade

[dalefrancis]

Did the people of Minnesota get to vote on have this flag?

[MarkMcAllister-nisf]

Did Minnesota join the Rylan Star League? Why does this flag look like it's from a 1980's sci-fi film?

[TwilightMysts]

If this were my state, after listening to that rather shady message, I would buy a few spare copies of the old flag and never fly the new one.

[randysanders]

Its just another slap in the face. Its based on a flag thats in a state in Somalia. Look it up. You’re being bamboozled. But hey, it your state and your flag.

[MilePost]

I’ll stick to my red white and blue flag.

[SurveYoung]

Something is not right here !!! Looks like the Samalia flag. Meaning the people don't like the flag and they still did it ... Something not right here ..
