Minnesota Panel Chooses Final Design for New State Flag, Addressing Offensiveness and Unifying Themes
TL;DR
After months of public input and debate, a commission in Minnesota has selected a new state flag design. The final design features a deep blue K shape resembling the state's borders, an eight-point North Star, and light blue color representing waters. The commission opted for a symmetrical design, and the flag will start flying on May 11, Statehood Day, unless the Legislature intervenes.
