I was thinking white and blue like some of the others are using, only blue would be pretty boring.
And use less muted colors. For some reason a lot of these latest redesigns use these muted and dark shades and it just makes the flags look so drab and I suspect is one of the reasons why a lot of people think they look too corporate and samey.
Really dug a lot of the ones with a cranberry background, shame only a couple seem to have made the cut. Also I feel like a lighthouse is a great symbol for the state but none hit the spot quite right for me.
Maybe they should move the Minuteman so he’s not ominously facing the Native American but otherwise I quite like the last one. It’s the only one that looks it could be a state flag. Most of the others have that corporate logo feel to them.
Edit: Slide #171 has Oklahoma vibes that I quite like.
The combination of Nova Scotia and Massachusetts would be terrifying. 50% incredibly nice, 50% trash talking you relentlessly. The Kelly Olynyk of subnational entities.
For number 6, they should switch the white guy and the Indigenous guy so it doesn't look like the white guy is pointing his rifle at the Indigenous guy. The whole point of the redesign was because of the optics of the sword looking like it was taking a swipe at the Native American. This proposal recreates the whole scenario that inspired the redesign in the first place.
1, 3, & 5 take the cake. These redesigns have shown themselves time and time again in different ways, and each time, they work perfectly. I hope any of those get selected, especially 5.
I think the tree shape looks a bit goofy so I think I prefer some of the other designs, from these the last one is the best. But I looked at the link and also liked the very first flag with the lighthouse and the one with the feathers in a circle.
