Minnesotans for a Better Flag

Correct. The MN state flag features an eight-pointed star (which isn't found on any national flags in Africa), a (very original!) stylized shape/outline of the state in dark blue, and two different shades of blue - neither of which is the same color as the Somali flag.

We are two weeks out! #NewMNFlag cbsnews.com/minnesota/news… @WCCO

Looks even better in the snow. #mnstateflag @FlagsForGood @NewMNFlag

@TommyEverson @FlagsForGood @Wikipedia The specs are out, but you’d have to ask @FlagsForGood.

@NewMNFlag @FlagsForGood @Wikipedia No doubt. Just don’t want to have to buy another one in a few months. What would the pre-order be based on? The renderings from the competition or are there published specs already?

People are asking us, “Where can I get a #NewMNFlag?” 1. 😊Support your local flag shop! 2.😌@FlagsForGood offers a preorder option: FlagsForGood.com 3. 🤓Order directly from the source (Anley.com) as a custom flag using this or the vector on @Wikipedia:

@TommyEverson @FlagsForGood @Wikipedia Anything is possible, but what better way to show support than to fly it now!

@NewMNFlag @FlagsForGood @Wikipedia Any reason to wait until til the design is officially adopted? Wondering if there will be minor adjustments to color and/or alignment before it gets standardized for reproduction.

@WCCO “Flag expert” is a lot easier to spell and say than vexillologist, that’s for sure! If you haven’t heard of Ted Kaye, you’ve missed out on one of the best @TEDTalks out there featuring him and @RomanMars: ted.com/talks/roman_ma…

"Minnesota's new flag gets 'A+' for design," expert says cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…

On your left, Minnesota!

@DaveBondyTV @flagstudies Right, @changeMIflag‽

@DaveBondyTV @flagstudies As real as the 59th place flag in North America, according to @FlagStudies. If we can do it, so can you, Michigan!#NewMIFlag youtu.be/l4w6808wJcU

It’s official; we have a #NewMNFlag! A+ design according to the North American Vexillological Association (@flagstudies) standards; well done SERC commission! Now on to the legislature for final approval. Call your reps today! gis.lcc.mn.gov/iMaps/districts

Exponentially better #NewMNFlag!

New kit idea for @MNUFC? It’s nice; their existing style isn’t that far off from the #NewMNFlag. Time to update that star to an eight-pointer, maybe?

"You can't make everybody happy, but Minnesota will come to be extremely proud of this flag," said Ted Kaye of the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA). "The state has seized a wonderful opportunity to improve its symbolism."

Did you just hear about our #NewMNFlag? Feeling #OutOfTheLoop? Watch this explainer by the great @cgpgrey! youtu.be/lFwwo0W5Ugg

Okay, I’m adjusting to the new Minnesota flag. Yes, I had other choices😉, some views. But this morning I’m embracing it. Big time. All in. Why? Because so many people across the state got involved. That’s civics. That’s MN. And also because I loved this ⬇️, dog and all.

✔️Keep It Simple. ✔️Use Meaningful Symbolism. ✔️Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors ✔️No Lettering or Seals ✔️Be Distinctive or Be Related Minnesota will have a new state flag on May 11 - Statehood Day - if the #mnleg doesn't veto the design. #vexillology #NewMNflag

I've seen some people with profile pictures of the new Minnesota flag, but most appear to be incorrectly cropped and pixelated. I made some flag-accurate options, so feel free to download and use! #NewMNFlag

When I introduced legislation to allow counties to vote to live under the laws and taxes of a neighboring State, I researched buying a hundred South Dakota flags to hand out to people. I was bummed to learn that their flag was as boring and indistinguishable as ours, along with 21 other states who have a round seal on a blue background. I learned that Republican Congressman Gil Gutknecht introduced legislation to change the State flag decades ago and, although this flag is slightly different than his, I am happy to see a design that is simple and recognizable when being flown. To my conservative friends: stop holding onto and defending a boring and indistingushable flag. Was there a risk the commission could adopt some radical BLM or Antifa flag? Maybe. But they didn't. Stop wasting energy and resources balking about erasing history. The old flags will fly until they are tattered and ready to replace. We have a hundred radical policies and tax increases to attack democrats on. Stopping the new state flag isn't productive. I, for one, support this, and I like the flag. Major improvement. This post might attract more hate mail than when I suggested we go on year-round daylight savings time, but I am curious why you support keeping a flag that, from 50' away, looks like 23 other states.

@BeehiveFlag We’re thinking it’ll stand out quite a bit more than our old flag. This is what a NAVA A+ flag looks like! #NewMNFlag

How quickly can you find Minnesota’s new flag? ⏱️
