Minnesota Has A New Flag Today – But Not Everyone Is Happy! What Do You Think?
🚩 It’s official: Minnesota’s got a brand new flag today and it’s already turning heads! 🆕 Why the redesign? See why it’s got people talking! 🤔 #mnflag #minnesota #minnesotanews
St. Paul, MN – Say goodbye to the old Minnesota flag that blended in with a bunch of other state flags. You know, the ones with tiny pictures on a blue background that you can barely make out from far away. Well, now we’ve got a brand new flag that’s gonna stand out like a beacon of Minnesotan pride! But not everyone is happy. Read to find out why – and how to make your voice heard.
Starting on May 11, 2024, Statehood Day, the new flag design will be flyin’ high all across the state. It’s a big deal because now when you see our flag, you’ll know right away that it’s Minnesota’s without having to squint your eyes and guess.
🎨 Picking the Perfect Design
It wasn’t easy pickin’ the new flag design, let me tell ya. The state put together a whole commission to figure it out, and they had to sort through over 2,000 ideas sent in by regular folks like you and me. There were some pretty wild ones in there, like a flag with a dog on it and another with a loon shooting lasers out of its eyes!
In the end, they settled on a design made by Andrew Prekker, a young artist from Luverne, Minnesota who’s only 24 years old. Can you believe it? The kid’s barely out of college and he’s already made his mark on Minnesota history!
🌟 Out with the Old, In with the Blue
The new flag is a real beaut. It’s got a special style that makes Minnesota stand out from the crowd. Ted Kaye, who’s like the flag expert of North America, gave it an A+ rating. He said it’s different from every other state flag he’s ever seen, and that’s sayin’ something because this guy knows his flags!
Some folks aren’t too happy about the change, though. They think the new design is too plain and doesn’t have enough Minnesota-specific stuff on it. Others just liked the old flag better. But hey, you can’t please everyone, right?
🎉 Celebrating a New Era
No matter how you feel about the new flag, you gotta admit it’s a pretty exciting time for Minnesota. We’re turning over a new leaf and starting fresh with a flag that represents who we are as a state.
So, let’s raise a glass (or some tater tot hotdish) to the new Minnesota flag and all the good things to come! Here’s to hoping it flies proudly for many years to come.
