There are several businesses on the Oxford square flying the Magnolia Flag. Not going to lie, that's pretty cool.

Maybe some Starkville businesses can join the cause.

I saw that, and it's pretty cool. Mississippi has come a long way in the last 14 years. There are many still kicking and screaming, but that's to be expected. The confederate flag thing is kind of like the Chris McDaniel fiasco. It lets you know really quickly who the crazy people are.

The flag approved by our Secession Convention in 1861? Sorry, not a fan

Literally symbolized the sovereignty of the Republic of Mississippi.

Gimme somethin' brand new.

I wonder if the bonnie blue will sneak through or not. A new one would be good, but the original may be easier to get through.

It may be, but it hasn't been the same symbol of hatred and white supremacy for the past century, either.

I personally like the 2001 concept myself, but I'd stand behind the magnolia flag.

They can do that till football season. Then all hell will break lose when their disconnected fans show up and wonder where ole Dixie went.

I'd agree with you except that you'd never get consensus on a brand new flag. That's the mistake that William Winter and his group made with the infamous Pizza Flag. I like the magnolia flag fine. I'd like anything that is not a big F off to almost 40% of the citizens of Mississippi.

Also, very cool that Oxford businesses are flying the magnolia. Hope it spreads around.

So you replace the Confederate battle flag with our Secession flag (that also happens to have the first official flag of the Confederacy in the top left corner)?

I just don't think its a good idea to replace a Confederate flag with another old secession flag.

Hire a marketing firm to design something new and fresh.

Or do something like New Mexico, which has the best flag in America.

If we are going to get a new flag I at least want something cool. Seems like we always get the dullest designs. I'd like to see some new cool plates as well.
