Minnesota Commission Reveals Finalized Design for State Flag

The commission tasked with finding a new state flag and seal design has chosen its final recommendation for the new Minnesota flag. The design features a blue background to represent the state's numerous lakes, and the commission made modifications to address feedback on symmetry and the absence of green. The commission also voted for a modification to the state seal, increasing the number of yellow bars to represent Minnesota's counties and tribal nations. If approved by the Legislature, the new flag will fly on May 11, 2024.
