New Flag Options: First Cut to 147...

[Maroon Eagle]

The Possum did not make the cut but the Mosquito did (K1030 in the list; #1 in our hearts).

Hmm. That's the only link I see and it's from the MDAH Facebook post. I don't see anything on the MDAH website yet.

Let's see if the embedded tweet works:

The Commission to Redesign the Mississippi State Flag considered the nearly 3,000 flag submissions and narrowed their choices to 147.

I was able to see the flags using the Facebook link.

Damn some of those are atrocious....E1049 looks like a Christmas Gift with a gaudy bow.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I'm wondering if that's Coach Polk's submission. **

Best one by far

Not even close for me.

 

[Go Budaw]

Did Elijah Moore make the cut?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

That is in my top 5.

Any of these would be ok

 

[jb1020]

Is there something that says we have to have a star on the flag too??

Honestly, I think that's probably the best of the bunch for me. I was really hoping we'd go with something other than red, white and blue but all the green ones are terrible.

 

[Shamoan]

would be cool to have a commemorative Helmet for the flag launch....that is, if we ever play football again.

 

[Dawgzilla]

Elijah Moore did not make the cut.

 

[Rayburn8]

I just want all the ones with that guady state seal on it eliminated. Just please no state seal on a blue background.

 

[SirBarksalot]

Just curious..was In God We Trust mandated or did just the ones that made the cut happen to have that. Also, any meaning to the stars ? Some have 20, some 10...etc

 

[FQDawg]

It was mandated... It's stupid to require it, but it's a requirement for the new flag.

No idea on the stars. 20 is obviously for the fact that Mississippi is the 20th state. Not sure about any other number of stars.

AGREE.

There were some good green/blue ones in the full list, but these are terrible.

Dunno how the ones with 13 stars made the cut.

 

[RocketDawg]

I don't know about "best" since can't see the others, but this one is certainly attractive and shouldn't offend very many.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Did someone from Reunion design this flag. It looks like they threw a big pineapple in the middle.

Awe piss. I was pulling for him.

 

[garddog]

E1023 I like, green and gray, just leave the border off all the way around.

It should be in Latin; In deo speramus

Probably would be a lot like the bakery that refused to put "magna *** laude" on a cake because they thought it was obscene.

 

[MeridianDog]

oops

 

[MeridianDog]

Happy they didn't propose the arabic lettered flag, or any of the proposals where someone gave their 5-8 year old kids a box of crayons and said "we are going to draw new flags today and you are not leaving this table until you give me one."

I think the mosquito flag was a poke to remind us what they could do if we pissed them off.

I guess they never saw my favorite, The NASCAR race black and white checker board flag. Would be nice to see them wave the Mississippi flag to end all car races, and it is biracial friendly.

Did the Stennis /Hospitality flag not make the cut?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

It wasn't submitted.

 

[fishwater99]

Did the Stennis /Hospitality flag not make the cut?

Not sure but it doesn't have a chance because of the Stennis name.

 

[patdog]

It made the cut to 147. It's flag #E1322. But fishwater is right. It has no chance. I think Lauren realized that and gave up on it. Most posts on their Facebook page have been deleted and it looks like their website has been taken down.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

E1322 is not her designed flag.

 

[patdog]

I stand corrected. She did add the words In God We Trust to her flag before she deleted everything. But I think she just added them a the bottom, not incorporated into the circle of stars. So E1322 is a slight modification of her flag, but unknown who created it.

 

[thekimmer]

My top 5

E1007, E1020, K1288, G1264

the canton on G1366 looks like the offspring of Dogbert and Col Sanders

 

[kired]

I think someone submitted it - but it was really poor quality. Almost like they'd printed it out on paper, then scanned the entire sheet and submitted it. It was the one where they just added IGWT along the bottom. Or maybe someone added that themselves & submitted it.

I believe E1322 is one of Rocky's variations. That's been one of my favorites this whole time.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Darn it. The Mosquito Flag was removed. I guess I'm throwing my support to Z2022 now.
