Let’s Replace the Massachusetts State Flag! (Central Square)

Why does the Massachusetts State flag matter? Learn about the history and significance of the Massachusetts state seal, flag, and motto from Sage Carbone and David Shane Lowry. Think more deeply about your community's symbols and better understand why our state flag must be changed. This discussion is inspired by the Massachusetts Seal, Flag, and Motto Advisory Commission’s open call to artists, historians, educators, students, and members of the public to participate in the effort to redesign the state’s seal, flag, and motto. Established by the Legislature in 2024, the Commission is tasked with developing and recommending new symbols to represent the state through a statewide public process.

So apparently the current flag of Illinois is going to stay 

Good. ​ The flag is bloody awful and needs to be replaced, but all the proposed flag designs were even worse somehow. The second place flag looks like the design a tub of butter would have, and the seventh place flag looks like Indiana's flag and Mississippi's flag had a secret affair child, just to name a couple. They're all so bad.

#TodayILeaned that the reason the #Bangladesh 🇧🇩 flag has the circle a little of centre is to give the impression that it is centred when partially flying.... and while reading that i learned that the #Palau 🇵🇼 flag is also a little off-centre

Every time I travel, I try to pick up local flags. These flags have been sitting in a drawer for, in some cases, two decades. Time to do something with them. This will work until I come up with some more clever idea. #international #travel #vexilology
I love playing Spot-the-Embassy whenever I’m in a capital city. I’m pretty good with flags but this second one I had to look up after my run. #vienna #embassey #vexilology
In other US-state-flag-related news, Maine is considering a flag redesign from its boring seal-on-blue… but the redesign is the *old* 19th century design. I’m all for it even if the color scheme is a bit weird.
[edit: apparently this is a modern interpretation of the 1901-1909 flag and is not exactly the same. I’ve been unable to find an actual comparison of the two that isn’t paywalled]

Found on a flag website, auto translated from Greek to English by Google. I see what they're going for here, but...
