AN EARLY MINNESOTA FLAG REDESIGN
CAN YOU TELL THEM APART?
Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Editorial "From a distance of 100 yards how many Minnesotans can distinguish their state flag from, say, Nebraska's? From 100 feet? Anyone want to try for 10 feet? It's not that Minnesota has the most prosaic flag of all 50 states. It's that it shares the distinction with more than a dozen others, each content mainly to sew a copy of its state seal in the middle of a blue sheet and then run the thing up a flagpole to see if anyone salutes, or even notices. That's a shame." (Editorial, March 21, 1989)
