I guess we're changing our state flag? Who authorized this? Why the :censored: are we changing our heritage to suit others? I didn't see no :censored: vote on this decision.....

I hear you. HD. I never really figured out how this started except maybe some Karen's are butt hurt.
I really never entertained the idea of having a state flag but now I have one and they can go pack sand .
-
I always paid attention to the stars n stripes but I rarely seen the state flag flying, maybe it's just me. Then again I don't go to the court house or capital for that matter.. Think it was Perkins here in town that had a monster stars n stripes flag, that was neat.

don't know either and that's why I'll be flying the old one too!!!

I see the state flag up here rather often, from public places to private homes...
-
Heard they were gona do it but didnt know it would happen so soon. They cant get anything else done quickly but it guesse this more important.
-
Our state flag has changed a few times so I don't get all bent out of shape about it. Personally I see no need for or advantage of making this change.
-
I just don't care for the fact that they seem to think they can change history...
-
I half expected to see the lgbtq rainbow in there somewhere

Welp I bought the the one in the picture. I'm old and cranky, and I don't want to change to make some group happy.

I wouldn't mind if they changed it some. But what they are coming up with are God awful! :puke:. The new state seal they are coming up with would have been better for a new flag then the final designs they have. I need to order an original too. And what ever happened to letting the people vote on the choices. Current or new design. Let the public decide.
-
The totally inept commission created a lot of rules and that is why it is so generic.

i couldnt agree with you guys more HD & JB!!!!! :happy1: :happy1:

They could've at least put some rocks and cows on it... :angry:

Just leave the flag alone. How much money has already been spent to appease someone else? Then how much money will be spent for EVERY state, county and city office to change flags? Why? Just because someone took offense to the current flag? Just BS...find better things to do with their time then worrying about our state flag.

Yup!

Couldn't agree more Leech and Roony.

I like the Hamms flag. :happy1:

I've been ranting about this for a while over on the political board, put I'll but my final comments here.
Many of us feel this was unnecessary and a total waste of money. Many of us were afraid they were going to mess it up. And some bristle at the "woke mob" sticking their tentacles into everything.
All that aside, I was confused as to how many different "final" versions I saw over the past week: the one that had the North Star, the snowflake, the green, white, and blue stripes arranged and re-arranged to match or not match the banding on the Somali flag, etc...
But here is is folks... The final, final version.

My opinion... I didn't think a redesign was necessary, but I don't thing they messed it up either. This does look like a flag, and not like a mall banner like so many of the other finalists. And I'm glad that they did consider playing around with the shape of the state (the dark blue field) to look more or less like the real shape of the state. Bottom line... I kinda agree the one they picked is the best of the bunch.

One last thing... I'm guessing the inner circle of the deciding panel had this two-blue-color design decided upon back when they were showing us the 6 semi-final designs. I think they were locked in and just went thru the motions of collecting feedback from the public to give us the illusion we were part of the process.

Ya pretty much seems like they herded everyone in the direction that they already wanted like you said.

Just more Minnesota Government BS. This state is becoming nothing more than a Mini California. Once I retire, I think I'm going to have to move out of this state, Just cant stand the political climate here anymore.

but where is it better???

Yup, the flag they chose looks like when we've had a crappy bunch of replacement yearlings to choose from. You hold your nose and pick the one that's less worse. :doah: The political climate in SD or IA vs. MN come to mind. We're still mulling it over but until I retire fully it won't happen. Even tho we've busted our assets to build our land into something desirable, there is nothing to keep us here anymore. Selling it, our $'s would go a lot farther somewhere else and we wouldn't have to put up with the BS from St. Paul or the Flannel Fuhrer. Here's the flag they really wanted:

So far we (the wife and I) have discussed many places to move to once we retire.... so far she's leaning on being a cheese head. :laugh:
-
We have discussed a move. We're leaning towards northern Wisconsin. We know some folks up near and just a little west of Ashland.

I'll say one thing about our personal 'Sconnie friends, they know how to have a good time. :happy1:

We just bought a cabin there this year and plan to move/retire up there in a few years. It really is amazing. And yes-I will become an alcoholic cause all they do is drink!

Supposedly that is all we do up here too. :scratch: But I seem to have drank plently when I lived in Becker too. ;) :rotflmao:
