re: Minnesota has a new state flag.

Because the entire purpose of a flag is to be recognizable at a distance: on a building, ship, or battlefield. Flags with detailed little pictures on them don't satisfy that goal particularly well.

There's a reason that, historically, flags and crests weren't the same. Seals and crests were more detailed in order to be more difficult to forge. Sticking a complicated crest/seal on a flag defies the purpose of a flag.

age children should be able to differentiate between flags, but you agree with those saying that Louisiana’s very unique flag needs to be more like the other vague flags. got it.
