Minnesota's New State Flag Design: Finalized and Ready to Fly

Minnesota's State Emblems Redesign Commission has adopted a new design for the state flag, but it still needs to submit its final report to the Legislature by Jan. 1. Republican legislators upset about the flag redesign process plan to make it an issue in the next legislative session. The flag design, featuring an abstract shape of the state with a North Star and light blue to represent water, may be available for purchase before it starts flying atop government buildings.

Finalists Announced for Minnesota's New State Flag Design

The State Emblem Redesign Commission has selected three finalists for the new Minnesota state flag, which may still be modified. The designs include representations of lake water, nature, agriculture, winter activities, and iconic features of the state. However, there has been negative feedback from Minnesotans, with concerns about the lack of representation for the African American community. The commission also made changes to the final seal design, removing the year 1858 and the state motto, "l'etoile du nord," and replacing it with the Dakota phrase "Mni Sóta Makoc̣e." The inclusion of Dakota language has sparked controversy and potential legal disputes.

"Minnesota Commission Chooses Loon-Inclusive State Seal Finalist"

The State Emblems Redesign Commission in Minnesota has voted to adopt a new state seal design featuring a loon taking flight from a Minnesota lake. The design also includes representations of wild rice, forests, and a star. Some modifications may still be made, but the core design has received commission backing. Public comments on the seal design were largely positive, although there is ongoing debate about adding the state's motto and founding year. The commission is also considering new flag designs, with a deadline to select a winner by the end of the year.
