Minnesota's New State Flag Design Praised as Top Ten in the Country

Ted Kay from the North American Vexillological Association praises the new Minnesota state flag, calling it "outstanding" and ranking it among the top 10 state flags in the country. The design is simple, meaningful, and distinctive, with three colors and no lettering or seal. The star on the flag represents the North Star State and incorporates Dakota imagery, while the light blue field symbolizes Minnesota's connection to its lakes and rivers. Kay believes that although there may be initial resistance to change, the new flag will eventually be accepted and unite the citizens of Minnesota.
